so today guys i'm going to share with
you my step-by-step guide
on what you should do before you launch
your drop servicing business so
these steps will get you better prepared
so you have a higher chance of success
now i've used these steps in building my
own six figure drop servicing business
so let's take a look at how they could
benefit you and you can
learn from my mistakes so the first
thing you have to do
is choose your niche you can drop
service anything there's a market for
you don't need to be an expert in a
particular service but you do need to
understand
at least how it works some of the most
popular drop services that you can do
are things like copywriting web design
animate videos with development social
media advertising and management as well
blog post writing ad copywriting youtube
advertising
video editing even and ideally you want
to choose a niche that is highly
profitable
easy to understand and easy to sell
the simpler your business is the easier
you can sell it to clients
find freelancers and scale your business
so number two
you want to make sure you research your
competitors search for competitors
find out how much they charge how they
structure their offers
what pain point they're solving and how
they market
also how they find clients right so you
can do this by going into their own
sales funnels filling their contact
forms but at this point
don't overthink the service you plan to
offer in the beginning
you can simply copy what's already
working for your competitors
to do this use platforms like upwork and
search for services that are in high
demand
or even just google your service find
your competitors for example
if you google blog writing services
you'll find several companies already
offering the service head over to their
website and see what's working for them
so basically the idea here is to copy
what's already working in the market
you don't need to reinvent the wheel to
build a successful drop servicing
business
you can simply enter the market offering
a slightly lower price than your
competitors
and you'll find your first clients
number three don't quit your day job
straight away this is something that i
did
and this one comes up a lot so here's
why i think it's important
there's no such thing as a sure bet in
the business world
there's always going to be risks
involved right so i reckon it's a good
idea
to keep your day job for a while at
least until you've got your job
servicing business established
and when you're starting a Drop Servicing
business you might only be able to
pocket
a few hundred dollars of profit a month
right so this is because
you also want to reinvest most of your
profits back
into your business so you can build up a
much bigger business over time
make it more profitable and scale it up
so then you're actually able to live on
it
so to make this a bit easier one thing
you can do in the early days
is to do some of the work yourself you
can just outsource some parts to your
freelancers
and this way you can learn more about
what's involved and we'll be able to pay
yourself a bit more money so
once you're established you can scale
and outsource your operation and you can
get to the point where it's automated
100
with your freelance partner so have a
business plan is number four
you really want to plan to succeed i
know it can seem silly for a solo
operation when you're starting out but
believe me it's worth it what you want
to do here is develop a business plan
with short-term
medium-term and long-term goals it
doesn't have to be 100 pages
and cover every detail but it's a good
idea to write your key goals down
so you can be clear about how you're
going to launch and grow
so let's quickly break this down short
term planning is looking at how you go
about launching a Drop Servicing business
and what resources you need to launch in
terms of time money energy whatever
to get your first clients so you should
aim at planning for the first six months
when it comes to short term
then medium term planning is all about
setting out where you want to be
in 18 months and how you're going to get
there for your Drop Servicing business
this might mean having a good plan in
place about how you're going to scale up
with your sales process and manage your
expanding team of freelancers
when short-term and medium-term planning
are successful
long-term planning builds on those
achievements and sets the big picture
direction
so it's a good idea to have a five year
plan
for your business and key details about
how you're going to achieve those goals
one thing that's really important here
is that planning is only useful
if you keep track of your progress i
always advise entrepreneurs to track
your progress regularly
so you can make changes to your plans
when necessary number five is surround
yourself with people doing the same
thing
it's well worth taking a course and drop
servicing and joining Drop Servicing
groups on facebook like
the biggest one right here and why
because it saves you time and money
instead of spending months trying to
figure it all out on your own you can
take a course that explains step by step
how to grow your Drop Servicing business
you'll be able to learn the necessary
skills to drop service
including marketing sales advertising
creating offers social media
web design hiring automation all the
other skills you need
you'll learn how to position yourself
correctly as a business which will
enable you
to close larger deals and grow your
business much faster so
joining drop service in groups has the
same value you can bounce ideas give
value get value and questions of other
entrepreneurs
they have already done what you're
trying to do so
it can be extremely lonely being an
entrepreneur right so
it's good to surround yourself with
others for help and support
during the tough times and help
celebrate the good times as well so
number six is remember it's about your
customers
not you so you've heard the customer is
always right
right well that's almost true at its
core
every business exists to fulfill certain
needs and solve certain problems at the
end of the day right so
if there are no customers for what your
business offers
there's no point in setting up your
business so basically
it's your customers who are running the
show they make your profits and pay your
freelance partners
and in return they rightly expect you to
care about their problems and work hard
on creating services
that make their lives easier being
customer centric
and focused on solving their problems
will help your business to become much
more profitable
and a lot of this happens due to more
referrals and repeat sales
after all customers don't mind staying
loyal to businesses that treat them well
and they'll even refer your business to
other business owners
number seven money is important but
focus on being a problem solver
focus your Drop Servicing business on
solving the problems businesses have
using your team of freelancers if you
can solve these problems efficiently and
effectively
you'll be able to make more money and
sign up clients that give you repeat
work so it's
much easier and more profitable to have
repeat clients
than always signing up new ones this
should be your goal for a
self-sustaining Drop Servicing business
and here's a great example let's say you
offer blog writing services for small
businesses right
the way you offer value to them is not
just by providing them with five blog
posts per month
but by offering an on-demand copywriting
service which
means they don't have to take on
additional paid full-time staff
this saves your average business a lot
of money
and time and hassle they won't mind
paying you a good rate for the service
as you're providing them with a lot of
value across all those three things
so number eight is don't be afraid of
working long hours at first but
work smart and don't waste time this is
the work smarter not harder step
everyone knows about right
when you're starting you'll probably
have to put in long hours to get
established
this is pretty much inevitable and when
you're starting out though
here's the trick what you want to be
doing is always thinking about how you
can automate tasks in your business
this frees up time so you can focus on
the big impact stuff the 20 of things
that get 80
of the results like signing up new
clients and hiring more freelancers
this is the stuff that affects your
bottom line so
you want to focus on what those are and
what do i mean by automating well
automating tasks can be done by hiring
human freelancers
or with software tools and systems for
example you could hire a freelancer
or lead generation in sales or use
software programs to automate tasks like
sales
emails follow-up and customer support
functions
both of these are automation that
increase your business efficiency so
number 10 is plan your marketing
strategy guys
this is the area that most people find
really difficult to make a drop
servicing business work
and if you don't have the skills at one
why because your clients have options
including easily going to upwork
themselves so it's all in how you
package up your service servers
solve their problems if you learn how to
market your service
you can make more money if you're just
starting out automated email campaigns
are by far the most cost-effective and
time-saving way
to find your first clients you can plan
a marketing campaign
with potential clients to send out an
initial email and then follow up emails
until they respond
the aim should then be to get your
client to your website
book a sales call with you or your sales
team or to directly buy your services
from your website
so sending out emails to your customers
or clients one by one
can be time consuming and tedious so the
best way to solve this
is to use email automation software like
woodpecker and automated campaigns let
you send out hundreds of emails a week
to your highly targeted clients so it's
all about
building up and creating a sales funnel
that works for you
even while you sleep so it's really
important to get a set up
before you launch a drop servicing
business now number 10
is to focus on a specific service niche
before diversifying
you don't need to worry too much if you
pick the wrong niche in the beginning
because you'll be able to test your
service before you invest a lot of time
or resources but once you find your
niche scale up your Drop Servicing
business to meet
the market demand then think about
diversifying into other services
so what you want to avoid is trying to
offer too many services early on let's
say you offer web design services well
once there is operating at full capacity
you could start offering website
copywriting
with development and other services
firstly though
to your existing clients and also new
clients it is much easier in business to
upsell to existing clients
then it is to find new clients all the
time so this gives you scale
and then the end will be a potentially
massive drop servicing business though
