Businesses basically grow in two major ways:

By adding more customers

(and/or)

By selling more products/services to existing customers

Looking at these major ways we can define a short checklist that will help scaling your business:

 

  1. What complementary products/services can you sell to your existing customers?

 

  1. What NEW products/services do you have the ability to make that your customers need?

 

  1. Can you reduce the features of my current product/service and offer a cheaper version to a different customer segment? (Yes. Can you do less? Can you go down-market? Same high quality but not offering all features of your product)

 

  1. What can you do to increase the frequency of purchases? Do you have a loyalty program in place? Do you offering special discounts to your current customers for specific products you have on a high profit margin?

 

  1. Can you add a new Acquisition channel to reach new customers?

 

  1. Can you bundle services to products or bundle more services together?

 

  1. Can you add pricing, financing and/or guarantees that will increase your current customer’s lifetime value and decrease churn, but also that will produce more customers?
