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.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for letting me know you find the blog useful. It's fun to write and I enjoy sharing some of what I know. I think that too often, we get stuck in a rut in business when there are so many ideas we can try out.
Let me know what results you get if you try something different out…
Cheers!
