Quick-TakeAway: If you own a business, and are looking for new ways to boost sales leads generation, and profits, the offers I make below may interest you.
 
In a past article, I noted that there are 2 main keys to increasing your profits without raising your prices – in ANY business:
 
You either (a) INCREASE your SALES or (b) REDUCE your COSTS or (c) DO both a. and b.[TIP: Read my Guest Post on AfricaBusinessCommunities.com: 5 Proven Ways to Boost Farm Profits without Raising Prices. Also read Use Custom Automation Of Your Spreadsheet Reports To Drive Down Costs And Increase Your Profits]The good thing about adopting either or both of those strategies, is of course that your customers will NOT be made to deal with prices increaases – and are therefore likely to STAY happy.

Every smart business should AIM for that outcome – because HAPPY customers can yield GOOD things (like repeat business and referrals) for the business that makes them feel that way!

Below, I reproduce excerpts from an offer I sent to a Lagos based fitness solutions provider to help achieve the above outcomes…

1. To Help Your Company Create Additional Revenue Streams

Every business will experience sales peaks and troughs. Gym businesses are no exception. Indeed apart from the challenge of getting new members/clients IN, a real challenge will be how to prevent client attrition or turnover.

This can be especially true with regard to non-corporate clients i.r those whose membership fees are not paid for by their companies. Such individuals may choose to no renew leading to a loss of revenue for your gym. But if you have income coming in from other sources, they would provide a cushion effect that goes a long way to keep you afloat even during dull seasons.

In other words, these additional income streams would complement your main income stream from running the gym e.g the Training sessions you conduct for members

In this regard, I offer a solution I call MONETIZE YOUR EXPERTISE, which is designed to help you identify specific aspects of your knowledge and  skills that you can sell, by packaging and presentign them in a marketable format. 

In 3 months I can work with you to deliver to market, ready for sale, a Digital Cash Flow Generating Asset original and unique to [company name removed].

I will forward an offer email from Sept 2017 for this service to you AFTER this one. It’s titled ” Two Part System for Monetizing Your Expertise [PDF Outline and 13 minute Audio Podcast]“
 
2. To Help Your Company Boost Marketing Reach & Impact ONLINE to Generate QUALITY Sales Leads

Both your main offering (training etc) as well as any additional income earning solutions you offer, will NEED to be effectively marketed to the right target audience in order for sales to happen – and money to come in.

The web provides an excellent avenue to achieve the above – if well utilized.

From my assessment of what you currently have (on your website) VERY little has been done to leverage the power of the web to achieve low to zero cost client profile DEFINITION and CONVERSION…

I think that is a mistake.

A BIG mistake that will make you keep spending avoidable but substantial sums on other forms of business marketing that are LESS likely to yield the results you want = SALES LEADS!

Like I told you, I’m a fitness practitioner myself and have been for over 3 decades.

And I’ve actively used the web to develop and maintain my interest in this field e.g I follow leading fitness and nutrition experts online internationally.

Many of the most successful gym businesses I have followed over the years make smart/intelligent use of Web Marketing to get noticed and ultimately contacted by prospective clients/members.

I use the web to generate sales leads for 100% of the digital products and services I offer. – so I KNOW What REAL Web Marketing That Works Entails

Examples of my successes in using the web to win total strangers from within and outside Africa, as buyers for my range of mostly digital products and services, at low to zero cost is described in this true story from back in 2014 and this one from as recently as Feb 2018.

[TIP: The attached PDF (note to reader – request it using this form – is a document I use to show REAL LIFE examples of how my Web Marketing generates sales leads that I convert to sales]
 
It took me YEARS to learn how to use the web to sell like I do today. My experiences and achievements convince me that a business like yours can do MUCH better, marketing-wise, if MY kind of approach is used for you..

[TIP: The attached JPG image is a mind map that I use to show the 9 key components I recommend that every business have in its Web Marketing System]

That’s why I offer to help your company create and propagate a Branded Web Marketing System

Clients who hire me to handle their web marketing often already have websites they use. Since that is the case with your company – you may find my 1 Year Web Marketing Support Service of potential interest and benefit. View details at http://tayosolagbade.com/smclub-nonfarm.html

What I Want

You do NOT have to pay all cash to get access to the solutions I offer above. For instance, I have a 50% barter exchange option that clients can readily adopt.

In exchange I want the following…

1. A formal partner office location for my new Travel Product/Service website where prospects and members can get information and support in Lagos/Nigeria.

Among other things, there is a requirement for on-demand supply of Travel Accessories that members will order via phone, email or the website and pickup from the partner location (if courier delivery is not chosen).

I would supply details of specifics to be said and done.

Your company would advise me on the equivalent naira value for playing this role as a partner office location for DiscoverCotonou.com

2. [This idea just came to me NOW!] A Joint Venture Partnership to Open a Fitness Gym Branch of your company in Cotonou, with ME heading operations there as an Independent Consultant.

Citizens of Cotonou are fitness enthusiasts. I know this from years of living and working among them.

Sundays remain amazing in terms of the spectacle one witnesses as numerous citizens – sometimes entire families (including kids)! – make their way to Stade De L’amitie (their National Stadium) to exercise and do a variety of sports as well as martial arts training from as early as 6.30am till well past noon.

High profile residents and visitors in Cotonou are also keen on fitness.

From my review of your site’s content, these groups fit your target audience profile. I can help to research and investigate the market there, to get firmer details of what it will take to get started etc.

If this interests you, my familiarity with the market, and my interest in partnering with you would make it a low risk, low cost opportunity for you to explore.

In the article linked below, I hinted at the fact that I would offer *FREE accommodation for my Cotonou Mobile Health & Fitness Club members.

Join http://discovercotonou.com & Get French Speaking Coaching Audios/PDF Weekly for 1 Year [Bonus: FREE access to my 8 Week KPI Computation and Interpretation BOPMS™ COACHING PROGRAM (save N50k)

The initial plan was to partner with fitness clubs over there, for my fitness events, which are designed to be used to create awareness about DiscoverCotonou.com. But now, I’m thinking I could partner with Fitness-Options to have a location IN Cotonou to operate from.

Just my thoughts of course. Would love to know what you think.

[IMPORTANT NOTE:====

On 4th May 2014, Tayo’s 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net.

Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR “reincarnation” of it the website http://www.tayosolagbade.com.

But updates are still ongoing to URLs bearing the old domain name in most of the over 1,000 web pages, and blog posts he’s published.

If you experience any difficulties finding a page or document, email Tayo at tksola dot com.

Here’s an article Tayo wrote, to inspire others to defy adversity, and bounce back to even greater reckoning at what they do EVERY time:
