How many different ways could you grow your business profitability? Here’s 357 different ideas to help you make more money in 2021!
At ActionCOACH, our 5 Ways model walks you through tracking and measuring your profitability. By working backwards through this formula, you can map out the exact steps you need to take daily to grow your business profitability. Now let’s say you’ve done that, and maybe your conversion rate is less than you’d like. Then your conversion rate is the lever you need to pull to close more sales!
Most people believe it’s always about more leads. “I need more money, so I must need more leads!” This isn’t always the case. There are 5 levers in your business you can move to affect your final profitability:
- Number of Leads
- Conversion Rate
- Number of Transactions
- Average Dollar Sale
- Profit Margin
If you’ve identified the area of opportunity for your business growth, what’s your next step? Take a look at this list below of 357 different ways to improve your business.
Need more leads? Try car signage, window displays or trade shows. Need a higher average dollar sale from each customer? Try suggesting the most expensive option first, only work with ‘A’ grade customers or use a questionnaire to gather intel on what you’re missing.
