Episode 10: Delivering Products and Services – Whether You Have 10 Customers or 10,000

You’ve attracted the right people, and they’ve been converted into clients and customers … now what?

Now you let the next system in our 7 systems blueprint deliver the goods while you work, play, eat, and sleep.

In the 20+ combined years we’ve worked in digital business, we’ve watched technologies change and online tools come and go, and we’ve learned a lot along the way. This episode is an opportunity for you to learn from our success (and our mistakes).

One of the best moves you can make for business acceleration is to get out of the way. When you stop doing things manually and start using systems that do things automatically, you’re providing better service to your clients and customers while creating a better life for you.

And when you bring in tools, services, and vendors instead of doing everything by yourself, your business can grow at the pace it wants to – instead of the pace you can keep up with – and there’s no limit to your success.

In this episode, we talk about weighing the pros and cons of handling transactions yourself; the tools, services, and vendors that are ready to lighten your load; why we prefer to keep our tools in-house and onsite; and the ONE thing you need to do before selecting any online tools … and much more!
