upcoming video. Drop servicing the one question I get asked a lot is haven't I
got a name wrong isn't it drop shipping the short answer is NO, there's two so
let's jump in and I'll explain the key differences between drop servicing and
drop shipping, the drop shipping concept is simple. You sell other people's
physical products run ads to those products and make a killing
simple heaps of people see success drop shipping so it seems like a no-brainer
right? well not so fast drop shipping can work but don't be fooled it's not as
easy as it sounds sure don't get me wrong it can work and I know many people
have made it work but drop servicing instead of drop shipping is a better
choice so keep watching subscribe if you haven't already and you'll see exactly
why i recommend drop servicing over drop shipping any day other than because I do
drop servicing and before we jump into both business models let's make sure
we're all on the same page and define a few key things I'll be talking about
first of all drop shipping this is where you sell products you don't make or own
you take a customers order on a website you've set up most commonly shopify,
take payment and pass these shipping details on to the wholesaler who ships
the product straight to them now how easy is that?
okay now for drop servicing this is a relatively new term that's put a
spin on the drop shipping model it involves the same idea as drop shipping
of being the middleman but instead of products like wolf mugs or t-shirts
you're selling valuable services of business needs this is a big difference
right with drop servicing you're a business-to-business model instead of a
business to consumer you'll be helping to solve real-world problems and that's
got to be better than selling wolf mugs right? who needs another wolf mug so
you're probably thinking what do I sell then well with drop servicing you sell
services, think web design, pitch decks white papers, animated videos, social
media or other services that can be delivered fully online so you can
automate them and you can get started today with any service you think of
business needs your help with there are a million b2b service businesses out
there so how do you even get started let's take a look at how I would set up
and drop servicing business if I started from scratch well first you find clients
interested in your service you seen thin cold emails offering to help you take
the order let's say it's an animated sales video and then you have a team in
place to create the video you send the final product to the client while
receiving large profit margins as high as 80 to 90 percent that's it so what's
better drop shipping or drop servicing let's check out the benefits and
pitfalls of drop shipping the first benefit of drop shipping has to be the
low order fulfillment costs, they're zero! Traditional online retail generally
requires you to have a warehouse we track organize pick and pack and you
ship your stock, drop shipping moves all of their expensive time-consuming stuff
to a wholesaler allowing you to focus on being with sales and marketing channel
the second benefit option is being agile you get to experiment more with what's
working what's not and change your products really fast all with less risk
and less stress why because you only pay for what you sell with drop shipping you
can test different colors different products different sizes all without
worrying about a warehouse full of unsold stock, the first pitfall though of
drop shipping is Facebook ads they drive your business success don't get me wrong
they work but they're super risky and can be expensive if you get them wrong
and when you're starting out you want to avoid making those expensive mistakes
there's another way to get your business started when clients and all with less
cash and less risk, stick with me I'm about to show you how with drop servicing so
the second pitfall of drop shipping is relying on other people's stock and
shipping. You can't control if they're out XL gray polos or the pink wolf
mug everyone wants or if something happens like over 19 and they stop
shipping completely your business and main income is toast
the third pitfall of dropshipping is controlling the customer experience you
can have the best team in the world a stunning curated website but if you're
a wholesaler is shipping products late damaged and ugly packaging it does
nothing for your business reputation and winning repeat business, personal
authentic relationships are what customers to mine and I believe you're
going to struggle to deliver that with drop shipping I've got a solution though
and that's coming right up. The fourth pitfall is the biggie right profit it's
why you're in business right are there people making millions of dollars from
drop shipping yes but the competition for the consumer dollar is intense and
it's no secret that buying in bulk is cheaper, if you're drop shipping one order
at a time it'll be hard to achieve that scale the fifth pitfall is that drop
shipping is so popular and oversaturated it's hard to thrive these days search
Google or YouTube and you'll find hundreds of articles and videos that
have been viewed millions of times about drop shipping and drop shipping has been
on the scene for a while it's over say trade at this point too many people know
about the model so it's competitive much harder surviving and let alone, thrive in.
I want to see you thrive right? and all the newbies flying drop shipping all the
time so it's so easy to find now if you're stuck with me so far
you'll know I recommend drop servicing so here are the top reasons why I think
drop servicing is better choice and a few of the pitfalls I can help you
overcome the first benefit drop servicing is there it's cheap to get
started today did I say cheap I mean cheap, the cost of
acquiring a new custom with drop servicing blows drop shipping out of the
water finding new clients for a drop servicing
business is very cheap and can be done easily with next to nothing all you need
to do to get started today with new clients is an email address or a
LinkedIn account and a couple of software subscriptions maybe I used
tools like woodpecker and snovio to automate the email process and Google
and Facebook ads can be a marking channel for a drop servicing
business by I reckon you can easily scale up to six figures just using email
and I've done that in my businesses the second benefit drop servicing is there
you control the end-to-end experience for get returns refunds shipping delays
and product faults you control everything with drop servicing
communication, quality of work, branding, that's a bit more personal, authentic
client relationships it's all on you and while it may be a bit intimidating to
begin with they're rewards are worth it. The first
benefit with drop servicing is that you are an actual business person. You're
building a real legit business with client staff and solving real business
problems and drop servicing you're building an entire team that works
together to deliver a high quality service you'll be working directly with
founders, CEOs, creatives and other entrepreneurs to help their business grow
creating lasting life-long connections and a sustainable drop servicing
business and you can automate it all as well so you don't need to talk to anyone
at any stage of the process but the fourth benefit drop servicing is it's
easy to sustain and automate your business long term with a drop servicing
business you're choosing a service that has a steady demand over time like web
design, animated videos and copywriting and then over time you'll be able to
template, automate and create a subscription model for some of your
services to create that long term consistent revenue stream to help ride
out the inevitable peaks and troughs of any real business experience and the
fifth benefit is that drop servicing requires no specific expertise or skills
drop servicing is all about building a team around you to deliver the goods
you're not a web designer? no worries hire one, never ridden a venture
capital pitch deck that's right hire one who has. Successful drop servicing businesses
hire the right people at the right time so you can focus on marketing your
business, automating the processes and building awesome relationships with
clients and the sixth benefit of starting your own drop servicing
business is that it's the new kid on the block
sure subcontracting and outsourcing is nothing new, all the big companies out
there do it but drop servicing levels the playing field it's new and hasn't
been exploited by innovative digital native business savvy people
like you. if you're ready to break into the billions of dollars companies are
ready to pay for your services just like yours
drop servicing is waiting for you to take the opportunity and get your
business going today right so that's my top six reasons why I reckon drop
servicing beats dropshipping in any day what do you think they'll comment below
before you decide let's have a quick look at some of the pitfalls of drop
servicing right so the first pitfall is an unhappy client you'll get them for
sure right but so does any real business the trick is how you deal with them if
you're not delivering the actual work because you're not a web designer for
example you don't have full control over the quality of the end product and this
can be mitigated for having a good hiring process in place all the
freelance platforms can help with that as well as keeping an open transparent
dialogue going with the client from signup to delivery the second pitfall
of drop servicing as well not really a pitfall it's an expectation because drop
servicing is a real business it takes time to grow it is not a get-rich-quick
scheme, MLM or a pyramid scheme you can ge sales quickly and drop
servicing I've seen it happen with our students within days but turning your
drop servicing business from a few sales into a real living breathing business
that grows by itself with minimal effort takes time my number one tip for
beginners is to see achievable goals to build your business and help it as it
grows and there you go you know these are my top six reasons I recommend you get
started with the drop servicing today and a couple of things you want to watch
out for and here are a few final thoughts I'll leave you with before you
decide on how you want to start your online business if you're a master
Facebook Ads then drop shipping could be a viable
option for you if drop shipping is just something you want to try and you know
go for it if on the other hand you're a beginner
and you want to make six figures within a year or two then drop servicing is by
far the best option and the one I recommend and you don't need extensive
experience with specific skills and it's low risk right cheap to start and it's a
real business that can grow and thrive providing you with a consistent income
over time now you may be thinking you know I'm the
the biased and I am obviously but I'm not biased without good reason
look guys I know drop shipping can be appealing because it just seems easy and
everyone's doing it but it's not as satisfying as running your own real drop
servicing company. A real business making six figures focus on drop
servicing because you'll be one of the few that are taking action to create the
very own sustainable online business so that's the video hopefully today you
learned something you can actually implement in your business and once
