How to Start a Successful Service-Based Business
First things first, once you’ve decided to start a service based business - you cannot quit. Yes that’s right promise me you’re going to put your ALL into this if not then stop while you’re still ahead. This is one of the things I wish I heard from someone when I started my graphic design business 5 years ago. Let’s get started.
Step 1: First decide what type of service you’ll be providing. This should be something you enjoy doing and don’t mind doing for others in exchange for money.
Step 2: Since we’re just starting choose ONE service for now, to solve ONE problem your client may be having. This will be considered your niche. This goes much deeper but since this is a blog post lets keep it cute.
Step 3: Bring your business to life by figuring out what business identity it will have in order to attract your ideal clients. This will cover your branding, marketing, and mindset.
Step 4: Yes I said mindset. Your mind makes up 80% of your success. The other 20% is the actual action steps you take to make an impact in your business. Know exactly what you want your business to do and bring for you and have complete faith it will happen. This helps you stay focused and not want to quit.
Step 5: Build a sales funnel you’d like your ideal clients to go through in order to get you paid.
Step 6: Create content that speaks directly to your ideal clients and display your values and why you’re the best option to choose from.
Step 7: Analyze your data and make changes to improve where it needs more attention. This is how you’ll know where you need to focus on and how you can get more clients.
Step 8: Trust the process. Yes even the times where all you hear is crickets. It’s all a part of the journey just have fun with it.
This is just the simplified version of a successful service-based business but its truly all you need to get there. If you’d like a more hands on approach to bring these steps to life for your service business then drop your information below for the details.
I’d love to help you bring your business identity to life to attract ideal clients and increase your sales. See you on the other side. Adiossssss.
