How To Increase Turnover

There's an old saying – "turnover is vanity, profit is sanity".

Look at the money side of this – would you prefer to have £50K profit from £1M turnover or £200K profit from £250K turnover?

Obviously it feeds the ego more to say "I run a £1m business", but it feeds the family more if you take £200K profits!

I hope that now you don't just want to increase turnover!

Here are 5 great methods to dramatically increase your turnover AND profits…

1. Make more with every sale you make – there are lots of ways to do this, but offering some value-add services or extras will encourage people to buy more.

2. Increase your price to reflect the quality of your service.  If you charge less than your competitors but give a better service, you're too cheap.

3. Create a referral system to generate more new business from your existing customers.

4. Make a list of your services to give your customers – that way they'll know about all of your services – they can't buy it if they don't know you do it.

5. Improve your sales process and/or get some sales training.  More sales from the same enquiries = more profits.

You will be amazed just how much you can increase your turnover and grow your profits with these ideas – but only if you take action on them.

Companies I've worked with use these methods among others to grow by between 30%-300% every year

Turn over a new leaf and try something new.  It's exciting to do something different in your business – let the excitement grip you, try it out.

Just a note to let you know I'm really enjoying reading your blogs not least because I always get a new perspective on my business. This time I have also ordered the John Caples book through your link to Amazon.
