Do you want to double your sales?

You are a business owner, and your sales figures don’t look great at the moment. You have invested a lot of money, but the ROI is not encouraging.

So you’re looking for ways to increase your profit. Of course, that is a good thing. Every business owner wants to make money. It doesn’t matter if it’s a nonprofit organization, every business aims to effortlessly generate and double profits.

However, having a desire to double your sales is the first step to growing your business. So you need to know how to make this happen. There are basic proven principles you can adopt to increase your profitability without necessarily doubling your efforts. Sounds interesting, right?

Here are four proven steps to help you double your profit:

Build a Customer List

This is also known as “lead generation.” A customer list is the collection of contacts of people or prospects who need your products or services. For example, if you sell sexual enhancement products, you have no business with a nun. Such people definitely wouldn’t patronize you even if you had a register containing 1000 of such contacts. Lead generation begins with you identifying your audience and gathering data that looks like them. One way to do this is to target a lookalike audience to the ones who have already patronized you. Simply put, you need to get more contact with those who have the same characteristics, like those who have patronized you in the past.

Importantly, building a list is a game of numbers. Experts say that only 2 percent of your prospects end up buying from you. Let’s say you need to move from making 100 sales to making 200 sales. It means you need to have reached out to 10,000 prospects. Now, how do you do that without a list?

So, the higher the number of your contact, the higher the quality list or lead you will record.

Build Touch-Points for Your List

Now that you have a customer list, determine how best to reach your customers. The single way of reaching prospects is called a touch-point. The more touch-points you have, the easier it is to convert your prospects to buyers. Experts recommend that you have at least 7 touch points for your list, rather than depending on one. For example, you could use a combination of text messages, emails, social media posts, different messaging applications, and cold calls to reach your prospects. Literarily, you follow them until they notice and pay attention to your offers.

Sit Back and Take Stock

One reason you are reading this is that you want your business to do better. So, it would be nice to take some steps backward and objectively evaluate your business, to see areas that need improvement, and do what is needed.

Create Bundles and Offers

One secret to increasing business profit is by creating irresistible offers and bundling your products or services. This way, you’re able to make over one sale per closing, and you’re increasing profit. One warning, though, offer related products as bundles and offers and all offers must carry a note of urgency to facilitate a quick close.’

Conclusion

In conclusion, doubling your profit isn’t rocket science. You just need to build a customer list, have multiple touchpoints, reflect on your previous business activities and create irresistible offers. These are proven steps you need to follow to make more profit from your business.
