How to Scale Your Business

Knowing Your Numbers: The Key to Scaling Your Business

In the world of business, numbers aren’t just figures on a spreadsheet; they are the foundation upon which success is built.

As an entrepreneur or a sales professional, understanding your numbers isn’t just important—it’s crucial.

It gives you the insights and confidence to scale your operations effectively.

However, until you have a firm grasp on these numbers, scaling might not be the wisest move.

I often get asked questions like, "How many cold call leads does it take to close a contract?" or "What about text leads?"

These inquiries reflect a common dilemma among those eager to grow: the desire for predictability in sales outcomes.

The truth is, without knowing your numbers, scaling can be a risky business.

Let's break it down with a recent example.

Take a look at the snapshot below, illustrating last month's performance metrics:

This visual representation serves as a stark reminder: not every lead translates into a closed deal.

However, the goal should be to convert at least 60% of your leads into offers.

Why 60%?

Because achieving this benchmark leads to predictable sales—a vital ingredient for sustainable growth.

One of the reasons I advocate for outbound marketing is its reliability.

Unlike waiting anxiously for inbound inquiries, outbound efforts generate a steady stream of leads on a daily basis.

This predictability is invaluable in planning and executing your sales strategy effectively.

Moreover, outbound marketing tends to offer a lower cost per lead and per closed contract compared to other channels.

This financial efficiency is part of what I call the "best of both worlds" scenario: consistent lead flow and cost-effectiveness.

Of course, achieving these results requires attention to several critical factors:

• Skilled Virtual Assistants: Your team needs to be top-notch, with VA's who are not just good, but exceptional at what they do.
• High-Quality Data and Skip Tracing: Accurate and up-to-date data are essential for targeting the right prospects effectively.
• Expert Closers: Ultimately, closing deals requires professionals who excel at the art of selling.

However, if you’re looking for shortcuts with cheaper VA's or data sources, I might not be your best fit.

Quality matters when it comes to achieving consistent results.

If your priority is closing deals, then I’m your guy.
