[Growth in Sales] The Backend Supercharges Your Growth in Sales and Profits

  • 4 years ago
One of the fastest ways to supercharge your growth in sales is when you focus on the backend.
All your customers start with your front end which is the products or services your customers initially purchase from you.
A back end creates the opportunity for repeat sales. It means your customers can come back to you again and again.
This makes dealing with that customer far more profitable. Another great benefit is that it reduces your need to go out and win new customers constantly which is far more expensive than selling to existing customers.
Doing so is critical to the longevity of your business and can be requisite to achieving the highest profits possible.
This is a missed opportunity that many business owners do not leverage enough which could be worth thousands of dollars per customer.
Ironically, most businesses rarely try to resell to their current or previous customers. Most never address the ‘back end’—the residual part of their businesses. However, you MUST do it constantly.
Let’s face it—identifying prospects and converting them to customers can be a costly process.
Yet what do most businesses do when they’ve got new customers? They ignore them entirely and put all their marketing efforts into gaining more new customers.
It is so IMPORTANT to focus your efforts on the backend as it’s a repeat sale where you do not have to spend any additional advertising dollars to get these repeat sales which means that all the profit is TRUE profit.
Once people have bought from you (assuming, of course, your product or service delivers what you promised), they are THE most likely people to buy again. One-time customers have a propensity to buy perhaps TEN TIMES more than someone off the street.
Instead of concentrating only on front end sales, you’ll generate vastly more business and profits when you devote part of your marketing to up-selling, reselling, and cross-selling to existing customers. That is, working the back end.
Regardless of what you sell or your industry, there are numerous back end offerings that are all-important to boost profits!
The profit you generate from working the back end can bring you many times the profit you make just from the initial sale.
That’s why it’s important to identify a back end for your business. If you only sell one product or service, you can strategically align with other non competing companies to offer your customers as your back end. You should always create more things to sell to your current clients.
You should NEVER underestimate the back end as it is truly a real profit centre.
