Casey’s Journey: From Struggling Consultant to Remarkable Success Story
Diane first tells a story about a struggling consultant driving around in a red pickup truck. Casey Graham’s journey to success began when he approached award-winning marketer Diane Conklin. Intrigued by Diane’s expertise, Casey expressed his interest in implementing a continuity program for small startup churches. Despite Diane’s initial skepticism, Casey’s unwavering determination and belief in his vision convinced her to take the leap together.
They launched the continuity program, charging $97 a month to these small churches and community centers, even though funds were limited in those organizations. With persistence and focus, Casey built a thriving membership base, providing valuable services, information, and resources tailored to their needs and quickly hit 6 figures within 90 days. Much of the success came from finding that unique element that sets him apart aka his secret sauce. Everyone has a secret sauce whether it’s your personality or a bonus that captivates your audience.
Maintaining unwavering focus, Casey dedicated himself to the continuity program for a year, steadily growing its revenue to $147,500 per month. He knew that being laser-focused on one core offering was the key to scaling his business. After achieving this milestone, Casey expanded his ventures, launching Preaching Rocket, leveraging his existing momentum, and growing his loyal customer base.
Understanding the power of a buyer’s loyalty, Casey continued to provide his audience with what they wanted while also offering what they needed. By tapping into their desires and preferences, he created a strong connection that fueled further growth. Preaching Rocket witnessed tremendous success, selling out memberships and generating significant revenue within minutes.
Unique Secret Sauces: Chris, Bill, and the Power of Foundation
Diane then discussed the importance of building a solid foundation for your business. Building upon the previous example of Casey’s story, she shared the success stories of Chris McClatchy and Bill Goff, each with their own unique secret sauces.
Chris, a retired real estate investor and lawyer, sought to teach and speak in his industry. Together with Diane, they developed courses with a captivating secret sauce—selling them on refurbished iPads purchased from Apple for $97. While return rates in the industry were typically high, Chris achieved a remarkable 0% return rate. The allure of receiving an iPad along with the valuable courses made his offering irresistible.
Bill, an Allstate Insurance Agency owner, aspired to help other agents grow their businesses and build million-dollar books. Despite Diane’s suggestion to start with courses instead of a live event, they proceeded with the event. Against the odds, Bill’s first event attracted 75 attendees and generated a six-figure net profit. Bill’s secret sauce? His own success story. Being one of them, his credibility and relatability resonated with the other Allstate agents, leading to their intrigue and trust.
These stories highlight the importance of a strong foundation and the power of unique secret sauces. While each situation was different, the underlying business foundations remained similar. It’s crucial to establish a strong base and then infuse it with your distinctive element that sets you apart. As we dive deeper into the lessons from these stories, keep in mind the significance of a solid foundation and the potential impact of your own secret sauce.
Using Leverage in Your Business to Grow
Damien then prompted Katy to ask Diane a question to get some advice. Diane and Damien offer valuable advice to Katy, who shared her challenge of feeling stuck in her business. Despite having excellent client retention and a strong reputation, Katy struggles with the idea of bringing someone else on board and relinquishing control. Diane addresses Katie’s concern by emphasizing the need for leverage. She explains that Katie’s current workload exceeds her clients’ expectations, creating a gap between what she delivers and what is required. By training and delegating tasks to someone at 70% of her level, Katy can still exceed her clients’ expectations while freeing up her time to focus on getting more business. Diane reassures Katy that although it may be daunting, leveraging her business is crucial for growth. Damien adds to the conversation, sharing his personal experience of hiring individuals who were not as skilled as him but still contributed to the expansion of his business. The key takeaway is that leveraging can involve hiring, automation, systemization, and elimination of non-value-adding tasks. One’s willingness to embrace leverage will lead to a prosperous future.
