Deep dives

The Hershey Kiss Business Model

Starting with high-ticket items is more effective than the traditional Ascension model, which suggests beginning with inexpensive products and gradually offering pricier ones. The Hershey Kiss business model reverses this approach by emphasizing the importance of targeting affluent customers first, leading to greater cash flow with fewer sales. For instance, selling ten clients a $10,000 coaching program generates significantly more revenue than aiming for a thousand clients at a lower price point. This strategy not only simplifies the sales process but also reduces the skills required to attract high-paying clients.
