Hi Everyone!
To market successfully, your business needs a strong backbone. As a Home Care business owner, we both know that your business depends on successful direct referral marketing. As 2017 is quickly approaching, it is essential to draft up a marketing plan for you and your business. In this week’s episode of A Drink With “The Hurricane,” I will show you what you will need to make a successful marketing plan.
A marketing plan is an essential tool for your business. Having one instilled within your business will give you the guidance you will need for success. Having a plan like this will help you become proactive and will keep you on track to achieve your ultimate goal.
In your marketing plan you MUST have several things to succeed:
- A Starting Point: look back to 2016 and ask yourself these important questions:
- What did you do in 2016?
- Did you hit your goal?
- Were you under your goal?
- How far did you miss or exceed your goal by?
- Your Statistics: once you have sat down and looked at your stats ask yourself:
- What were your biggest referral sources?
- Which accounts (and who at these accounts) referred you the most?
- Which referral sources can you count on to have referrals for you so you can start being proactive and plot your business growth?
- Have an Action Plan:
- Do something you have never done before! By taking initiative you are setting you and your business to get results that you have always dreamed of. I always say you must take a chance to set you and your business apart from your competition
- An example of this could be coming to one of our boot camps or signing up for our coaching services.
- Have a Budget:
- It takes money to make money. Determine how much are you willing to spend to generate referrals
- You must invest in the promotion of your business to gain success
- Look at your inside sales process
- Do you like your inquiry management process or is that something you need to work on?
- How about you closing process. Is that working for you or does that need to be revamped?
These are important things to ask yourself when you are creating your marketing plan. Most people don’t even consider these things to have the growth that they desire. If you want a 7-figure business, then you must have the above in your marketing plan!
