Discovery Phase in Business Growth
A crucial step in helping a new client grow their business involves a discovery phase that distinguishes between effective strategies and obstacles. This process identifies positive elements, referred to as 'green lights,' and addresses challenges, called 'red lights.' The approach includes thorough interviews and a deep dive into financial and marketing data to understand what is performing well and what is not. This client, generating between one and two million dollars annually, exemplifies the need to streamline their marketing efforts rather than spreading resources too thin across multiple channels.
Focusing Marketing Efforts for Sustainable Growth
Building a successful marketing system relies on concentrating efforts on a single promising channel until it generates significant results, rather than chasing multiple opportunities. The strategy involves nurturing a successful channel until it reaches a level of consistent performance, defined as producing $50,000 a month for three consecutive months, before exploring additional channels. This approach leads to creating a diversified marketing system that includes referral partnerships, email marketing, and paid ads, which can scale a coaching or consulting business effectively. By focusing on refining one channel into a strong foundation, business owners can avoid the pitfalls of playing with various strategies that yield mediocre outcomes.
