This is a problem that I see all the time.
Sometimes we blame things that we don’t control and say that’s the reason why we’re stuck.
But this is why it’s extremely important to know your KPIs.
What you can track, you can measure.
What you can measure, you can control.
The language of business is percentages and numbers.
In order to understand your business, you need to start tracking your numbers and understand what they’re telling you.
If you don’t do this, you’ll end up blaming everything else instead of the actual problem.
I was on a call with a new client we just started working with, and he said the market is saturated, and that’s why he can’t scale.
But in reality, that wasn’t the issue.
One of the main reasons he couldn’t scale is because:
His show-up rate was very lowHis closing rate was low
His ads weren’t strong and weren’t qualifying leads
And he was collecting too little cash upfrontAnother big red flag was his cash collection.
If you have a $4K, $6K, or even a $10K offer, you should try to collect at least 50% upfront.
That way, you can reinvest into ads, cover your acquisition cost, and go get another client using that same cash flow.
That’s how you build a scalable model.
Because if your cost to acquire a client is $500, but you’re only collecting $750 upfront, it’s going to be very difficult to grow.
And this is exactly how we help companies scale, especially credit and funding companies.
We look at the actual problem of the business.
We don’t guess. We don’t go based on opinions.
We look at the numbers and let them tell us where the bottleneck is.
From there, we fix that bottleneck and move to the next one.
A lot of times, clients focus on the wrong problem.
They think one thing is holding them back, but there’s actually a bigger issue somewhere else.
Instead of fixing downstream problems, you need to fix the upstream problem.
Because when you fix the upstream problem, it usually solves multiple issues in the business at once.
And that’s how you start getting to $50K, $100K, $200K months.
By focusing on the real bottlenecks… not guessing, and not operating off emotions.
