Poor analysis leads to poor strategy choice Therefore the more you measure, the more you

can analyse and the more opportunities you find

Strategy Types Determine ProgressUnder these “Types” of strategies, there are hundreds of strategies to grow any business.

Business owners often focus on Lead Generation but profit strategies are more important.

Are your business profits increasing rapidly? If not, which strategy type are you focused on? Are you testing and measuring different strategies?

Strategies We Can Apply This business could send out newsletters or offers to

previous customers on services they haven’t bought, to actively generate more sales

Google isn’t targeting good phrases (shown by conversion rates), so better phrases would help

High C/R lead sources are best, so increasing referrals and leads from alliances is easy when an effective offer for both is introduced

Additional Strategies Facebook ads capture people early in the buying cycle,

(its showing here with very low sales), so it wastes time. Qualifying, not just these leads, but all will save time.

The biggest opportunity here is sales training (for qualifying to reduce Lead to Quote C/R, and to increase Quote to Sale C/R). Our systems would increase C/R from 33% to over 50% quite easily, which is a 50% increase in revenue.

More Strategies Do & Charge sales have high margins and no wasted time

with quoting, so it’s a great source of sales, which are coming through real estate agents. Brining on more would be an excellent strategy and easy to do.

Leads from the website convert poorly. Good copywriting by taking the word “we” out and changing it to “you” would make a significant difference.

Look at the difference these 8 simple strategies make…

Measuring Production Margins$1 Million turnover - Split 80:20

$800,000 x 3% = $24,000 $200,000 x 12% = $24,000

Net Profit = $48,000 (4.8%)6 months later…

$800,000 x 12% = $96,000 $200,000 x 5% = $10,000

Net Profit = $106,000 (10.6%)
