Deep dives
The Three Types of Products to Sell
There are three categories of products: physical products, digital products, and access. Physical products can be tangible goods like supplements, while digital products can include subscriptions like Netflix. Services fall under the second category, such as massages or marketing agencies. The third category is access, which can be physical, like concert tickets, or digital, like virtual event access or communication with an expert. By understanding these categories, businesses can add value by combining different types of products or services, ultimately aiming to differentiate themselves and become monopoly players in the market.
Adding Value through Service Components
To enhance the value of products or services, businesses can add a service component to make themselves stand out and avoid being seen as commodities. By combining physical products with digital products or services, businesses can differentiate themselves from competitors. Access businesses, in particular, offer high-profit margins, especially in the digital realm. It is important for businesses to diversify their offerings across different categories and focus on creating unique value propositions that resonate with their audience, such as combining personalized, higher-touch experiences with guaranteed outcomes.
Generating Cash Flow through Individualized Access
One of the fastest ways to generate cash flow is through selling individualized, high-touch access to your solutions. By offering limited spots for one-on-one or small group experiences, businesses can have customers prepay for an extended period, ensuring a commitment to achieving desired outcomes. This approach eliminates the need for discounts and offers added value through access and expertise. The key is to manage demand by not selling out completely, keeping some pent-up demand for future offers. This controlled burn approach allows businesses to maintain goodwill and steadily grow their customer base.
