FEATURE: The Power of Packages <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p align=\"left\">Scott Hallman REALLY knows business.<\/p>\n<p>So in this issue of MentorMonthly I&#8217;m bringing you his article<br \/>\non how to greatly increase your revenue with packages&#8230;..<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">How To Turbo-charge Conversion and Skyrocket Profits By Finding &#8220;Sweet&#8221; Spots in Your Product or Service Offerings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Recently we have been having enormous success with teaching clients how to use packages &#8211; that is a combination of products or services that create greater perceived value and allows you to reach different price points in the market place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Here is one of the three ways we teach on how to use The Power of Packages to instantly increase profits without spending a dime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Tony Robbins Gets it &#8211; To the Tune of $1.7M Per Event<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">My friend Chet Holmes invited me to attend a Tony Robbins Unlimited Power Weekend. To my amazement, there were 3,500 people there. I noticed that people had different colored name tags and quickly learned that that was based on the &#8220;package&#8221; they signed up for. The basic &#8220;package&#8221; seemed to include the right to sit 400 rows away from Tony and a free name tag holder for $995. Then you can upgrade to the Executive Package that cost $1,295 that gives you the right to wait in line for 45 minutes before you get to make a mad dash with 1000 other people to try to get the best available seat\u2026.and you get a free coaching session (another word for soft sales call)\u2026.and then the VIP\u2026even closer seats and a few more slicers and dicers at $1,595\u2026then Diamond at $2,095 which lets you sit upfront and includes several extra cool things\u2026and finally Diamond Premier at $2,595. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Based on the seating chart I created a quick Excel chart and guesstimated that this &#8220;packaging&#8221; strategy adds about $1.7M in revenue to the event I attended! <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bgdinc.com\/images\/excelchart.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"174\" height=\"127\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">It hit me that there are ALWAYS people that will pay for a premium service. Yet few businesses take advantage of this simple to use strategy. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<em><span class=\"style4\">Real World Example #1<\/span><br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Increased New Clients Revenue by over 325% <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Derek Lee of betterHealth<\/strong> used packages to increase average client revenue from $450 to over $1,500 by offering a package of services that are delivered over a 12 week time frame. And the cool thing is they created it and tested it on 6 prospects in just one week\u2026.all 6 took the upgraded package at an average of $1500! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"style5\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong><em>Real World Example #2<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<strong>Doubled profits on 20% of the Customers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Pasha Lake Cabin&#8217;s<\/strong> income is limited by the available cabins to rent. So they recently decided to create special premium packages that include fishing guides, special meals and more. This is a new offering but they expect 20% of the lodgers to take the package upgrade. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><em><span class=\"style5\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Real World Example #3<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Increased average patient income by 30%<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Dr. Eric<\/strong> created premium packages for the purpose of making their standard package look like a great deal\u2026but unexpectedly, over 50% of the people opted for the premium package that cost 60% more!<\/p>\n<p>As with every strategy I share with you, the Power of Packaging costs virtually zero to create and test. So go for it and ProfitNOW\u2122<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">For coaching, you can use packages in several ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sell a \u201cpackage\u201d of months as opposed to month to month coaching. If you typically keep clients for 4 months, try selling a six month package at a discount. This can dramatically increase your income per client.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">If you provide more than one service or product, bundle these at a discount. For example, a Fitness Coach could have a Platinum Package that includes 24 training sessions, the supplement pack, and a body fat index test. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">A business coach could have an \u201cupsell\u201d package, four hours a month vs standard two, or a \u201cdownsell\u201d package of two half hour sessions. This not only leads to increased revenue per client but also an increased client conversion as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">So create a few versions of packages and test them out. You will be surprised how many people take advantage of them\u2026and how your profits grow<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">To Your Success,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Scott Hallman<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bgdinc.com\/davidwood.htm\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">www.smallbusinessgrowthclub.com <\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h3>Action<\/h3>\n<p>1.
