4 Ways To Get Your First 10 Customers (41mins Full Class)

Hey what’s up everybody it’s Chris and Chris you may remember him from a recent podcast or an episode I did with him where he’s having a thriving business some of challenges have hit him and he’s regressing his business and we’re going to help him get back on track currently He’s at $150,000 we wanted to get him to 300 400 500,000 and Beyond and stick around for the entire video this is a master class that we break down his problems helping him to understand where he needs help especially as it relates to lead generation so Chris the last Time I talked to you what year was that so we can have a this was the this was 2021 okay so we’ll get no I’m so sorry 2022 what’s the name of your company uh Biv this b b i okay so what’s the year 2022 22 okay in 2022 business is going Well you’re moving upward right and you had like one really big client right which is always scary for all of us cuz we don’t want to become overly reliant on one client so that year at the end of the year what did you grow uh 300 300 flat it was like 297 so it was very close we we’ll do that people like really specific numbers absolutely okay and so last year 2023 what’ you guys do um 151 okay that’s a really big drop a tremendous 50 50% drop 151k so Something’s Happened in these two years let’s just quickly bullet Point what has happened so we can understand so everybody understands this is 2022 and this is 2023 okay go ahead so our main discrepancy between the two years was the loss of a really large Financial client and the stunt of growth when it comes to acquiring new clients because I Got super comfortable okay that one client of this building what percentage did they represent 50 okay so 50% of your Revenue came from one client that’s the danger zone usually shouldn’t be more than 10% there are some and I think I might have mentioned this to our audience last time which is some Companies won’t hire you if any one client represents more than 20% because it’s too unstable really big clients like hundred million dollar clients they they asked to see who your client’s list are and what percentage of your Revenue because you represent a financial risk for them okay okay because they they are Aware of what we’re all aware of right now which is too too much Reliance on one client can be very problematic so 50% that means roughly 150k and they disappear for a number of different reasons nothing to do with you maybe they hate you whatever often times what People don’t realize is there’s a change in management or they decide our priorities are going to be totally different and whole departments get wiped out so we don’t want to get into that part so what month did that happen that you lost that client it was May okay so in May of 2022 okay you lose as client so that means you now know already alarm Bells Are Ringing smoke detector blasting there’s a problem we need to get into we need to solve that and so throughout the rest of the year from May to the end of December you were trying to acquire someone to Replace this one big client what was the challenge there the area I’m in is exceptionally like small when it comes to um our client pool of potential clients and what I’ve learned to do is what I’ve learned as going through business is I’m terrible at sales I love the Creative I love the production I love the Hands-On but when it comes to sales that is my biggest challenge um I just it’s my biggest weakness when it comes to a lot of things okay um so there was hardly any effort there put towards acquiring something that could fill that Could fill that void because what happened was I didn’t expect the big CLI to be forever so we had made preparations just in case um and those preparations lasted for a good bit throughout the year and it helped out and we were still getting consistent income and I was still pretty positive Overall but that Runway started running a bit slim when I started making a good bit of personal U purchases kind of setting myself up for the future I just used it as a a full restart to start my business flat again and it just didn’t pan out it just Didn’t pan out for the when it came to 2023 okay so I’m going to try to translate that into visual so people can understand this a little bit okay so it’s usually a a a diamond like this right so I’ll break it up into four pieces I’m not sure it’s quite for but I’m freestyling it here so generally speaking what we would consider is like the efforts of marketing generating new leads and then the qualified leads become prospects and leads to sales which is sales is like there’s two ways of looking at sales like literally going out and doing cold calling or or or warm Outreach that would be the effort of sales marketing is something that’s scalable that’s the difference between marketing and sales okay sales is like finite constraints in terms of time and day and people that you can actually call and the resources that you have but ideally what you do is you you turn Leads into prospects and Prospects are the ones that you want to get on the phone on and then you go through this process and there’s a whole bidding process and you close the client okay and then at this point you’re going to start the onboarding process that’s like this is how the Project going to work uh files uh checks terms contracts all that kind of stuff they’re getting onboarded and then what we’ll just call delivery it’s a nicer way of saying production like everything you have to do to give the clients what they paid for okay and then afterwards Is uh any kind of followup customer service that kind of stuff so I’ll just put customer service for Cs and just general followup like after Sal stuff which this is where you’re gonna start to see the problem is if I were to say 100% of your time where did where would you allocate Percentage wise in May 22 where you were spending your time I was spending my time in the delivery how much percentage it’s okay to say it’s like like like 95 almost yeah 99.9 yeah I mean yeah I mean let’s just be real you say 95 but I know yeah and this is um going to sound it’s going to ring true for almost everybody who’s going to watch this video cuz when we say you’re working in your business versus on your business so this is in your business okay and this is on your Business because if you do great customer service and you do followup that turns them into clients and they begin the process again and this is where a lot of us myself included I I recognize the pain because I’ve been a perpetrator of this to my own business So we we’re grateful for the client but we we don’t really focus too much on them to ask them for referrals for New Leads or to tell their customer success stories or to ask them what else you got if you enjoyed working with that’s just There something else I can work on or I notice um that you’re doing this with the videos or content we’re making or I see another application are you open to that how open-minded are you about this thing so we’re want to kind of feed them Back in now most…
