Double the number of
your customers in 12 months

Dear {{first_name}} ,

thank you for contacting us and choosing Your company name as your consulting company.

Our Mission Is Simple

On our call, we established that for you to feel this arrangement was successful, you would need to double your customers in the next 12 months.

We also went through a series of strategies that you felt, and I agreed, would help you achieve that with relative ease.

Our Goals


You currently have 60 customers with an average spend of £2,000 per year, totaling £120,000 p/a.

Our mission is to get you to £240,000 in total revenue in the next 12 months.

How are we going to do it? Keep reading.

We get results. That is it.

Strategy

Three Themes


On our call, we created a timeline of activities which we both agreed would bring us to our goal of 60 new customers within a 12 month period.

The bulk of our ideas followed these three themes:

  • Leveraging existing marketing activities
  • Expert positioning
  • Intelligent and timely offers

Leveraging Existing Marketing Activities

You are already doing brilliantly with email marketing and cold email. You said you are not 100% sure what is working because you don’t have any tracking on your marketing, but that it is a gut feeling.

We will be looking to get tracking in place and get those campaigns on steroids. This will be the first port of call because it will bring us results quicker and this will fund our later efforts.

Expert Positioning


We agreed that you would find it easier to get more calls, meetings, and sales if your public profile portrayed more of expert status.

And you are absolutely right.
All the ‘big names’ you know of, respect and buy from, all do a set of things which bring their positioning from a place of “please buy from me” to “of course you can join my waiting list”.

That is what we are going to achieve for you. It is not going to happen overnight and it will be something you need to continue adding to long after the 12 months is up.

Even Tony Robbins still does guest posting and media appearances to raise his profile even after dominating his industry for three decades.

The plan is to get you eight guest posts on respected websites and position you as an expert using a whole range of tactics geared towards having people respect you.

Intelligent And Timely Offers

It is all well and good being featured in all the best places but if you are not able to capitalize on the opportunity you have in front of you then it is not much more than bragging rights.

Cool, but you can't pay your mortgage with them.

So every piece of outreach, marketing, guest posting will have its own way of capturing new leads which we will later turn into customers.

A combination of these three strategies will give us the quick cash to get started, build your profile, and generate leads in the process.

Plan of Action

About This Plan

This is a very light version of the timeline we came up with on our strategy call. It is an incredibly high level but there is a lot to each of these elements and there is a lot not yet mentioned.

The golden rule of marketing is test and measure. If it turns out that something unexpected happens that is producing better than expected results, it would be crazy not to milk it. 

This will all be in your consultation, but essentially it means that we won't just blindly stick to the plan if the results indicate something different will be more successful.  Adaptability is the key.

Meet Jane

She also wanted to double her income in 12 months.

I am telling you her story because I think you can relate.

Jane was actually in a similar position as you. Personally, I think you are much further along than she was at the time but you have a similar goal in terms of revenues.

Jane runs a web design business and was stuck at 30 clients. Some would leave, new ones would come but always hovering around 30. We helped her put some systems in place so when she took on more she wasn’t going to need a delivery truck of Red Bull to get through it.

Her goal was fairly similar to yours. She wanted to be making £200,000 in revenue within 12 months and I am proud to tell you we hit that figure within eight months of her starting with us.

What Happened


It wasn’t all smooth sailing, there were a couple of rough months in there, but we all stuck to the plan we knew would work in the end. And we are all glad we did.

Much like yourself, the aim was to raise Jane’s profile as a web designer. We worked a bit on his positioning and had her focus on some higher-paid projects that involved less work which really helped.

Jane is still a client and we have set new goals for the next 12 months which are going great. I asked her to write a few words on the experience below.

A Few Words From Jane

"Hi John, I don’t know you and can’t give advice in context but I can tell you that I sat down with Tanja over a year ago and set a 12-month goal of £200,000 in revenue, which was an increase of £82,000.
We hit that goal in eight months which has changed my life and business, as you can imagine.

I know there are a lot of consultants out there but these guys are absolutely amazing and if you have a decent work ethic, you will get tons out of it. Happy to chat if you want further reassurance."

- Jane Smith  |  JS Web Design

Your investment

How are we different from the others?


We don’t operate on full payments, which means that you can pay monthly for the duration of the deal, and you are unlikely to ever be “out of pocket”.


“Working with Tanja has changed our business and my life personally. Your company name's knowledge got us from £5,000 a month to £20,000 a month within nine months. Within hours of signing the contract, they were making changes and helping us close the deals!”

- John Smith  |  ABC Design

The Deal


£995 per month for a minimum period of 12 months. That is it.

Don’t think of this as “a grand a month”.
This is a £12,000 decision and you need to be comfortable with that. In truth, it will be more than that because with us around you will be spending more money on traffic to your website, printing, and various other things.

If you need to take a loan or remortgage your house to pay for this, you should probably reconsider. We care about our customers and want this to enrich them as much as it enriches their business.

Minimum Term


The minimum term is 12 months. The reason is simple. We need your commitment for that length of time to achieve the kind of results we are both setting out to achieve.

Giving you the ability to cancel at any time means you are not thinking long-term and as you know, that isn’t the kind of thinking that produces amazing results.

Guarantee

We have a pretty AMAZING guarantee.


We are so confident that if we ever miss a monthly deadline, the next month is FREE. Yes, really.

We don't have to guarantee you will make money. That one is a given.
We do however have a guarantee which means if things aren’t going according to the plan, you don’t lose out.

Here's How It Works


As long as you have been supplying us with everything we need and living up to your end of the bargain and we are simply not hitting deadlines then we will extend your deal at no cost to you by an extra month.

In essence, if we are one week late every month, you would get an entire year free. If we are late on two of the months then you would get 14 months instead of 12.

We do this to put pressure on ourselves to meet the deadlines we both agreed to. It also gives you peace of mind that if we don't do exactly what we say we will do, then you get us working until it does.

It doesn't get much better than that.
