Double your launch revenue with data
If you're launching a new program, it's essential to keep in mind that the ultimate goal is to generate revenue. Even more important than top-line revenue, though, is profit (what you have left after paying your expenses)! One way to achieve this is by using data to guide your decisions and make informed choices. Specifically, looking at your launch data can help you double your revenue in your next launch.
Is my offer profitable?
I know that many of you, as business leaders, are overflowing with creative ideas for new offers. However, all these offers can prove difficult to manage without a clear and concise business strategy. Think about it: do you, the business leader, know how profitable each of your offers even are?
Your recipe for increasing profit
Did you know that building a growing business with scaling profit margins is like following a recipe? There are clear steps to follow to get a positive outcome, and with some adjusting and tweaking along the way, you can make it even better as you go.
If you are someone who just does not like cooking and manages to mess up even when following the recipe, the recipe for increasing business profit is one that anyone can follow — no prior experience needed.
4 keys to measuring profit
Measuring profit is one of the most important deliverables I have when working as a strategic partner with business owners. Of course, profit is tied to revenue, but don’t blindly assume that more revenue means more profit; it goes much deeper than that.
I like to approach this from a strategic level. Before I even think about building a dashboard for a client, I want to be able to nail down what they want and need to see based on their business goals for the next 6 to 12 months.
Today, I'm going to tell you all about my 4-step framework for helping my clients track their profit.
And the most useful KPI for profitability is…
I know in the online business world, we often hear the focus being on an arbitrary magic revenue number. However, the truth is that revenue alone is not telling the whole story. Remember, revenue is simply the income, the money coming into the business. What about the cost it takes to deliver the product/service you provide?
I have been in the backend of many businesses, and sure, their revenue number alone looks great, but once you add up the expenses (the cost of doing business), what is left over (the profit) can be a very small portion of the total revenue. This is why you must dive deeper into what your actual profits are for a given period, rather than just the income you made.
