How to fill your pipeline

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2430561/fan_mail/new] Why Most Businesses Fail to Fill Their Pipeline If you want your business to succeed, there is one truth that overrides everything else: you must get enough profitable sales. It really is that simple. In my 31 years of working with over 10,000 small businesses, I have seen companies fail for many reasons — cash flow problems, operational issues, poor financial management. But at the root of almost every failure is the same thing: not enough sales coming through the door. Michael Gerber captured this brilliantly in his book The E-Myth: Why Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It. He identified three core departments in every business — marketing, operations, and finance. Most business owners are experts in operations. They are brilliant at what they do. But they know very little about marketing and sales, and that is where the pipeline runs dry. Watch the Full Training In this live session, I walk you through my complete framework for filling your pipeline — the same system I have used to help clients achieve an average of 45% growth within 12 months.

31 Years of Business Growth Advice in 30 minutes

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2430561/fan_mail/new] I've spent over 31 years as a business growth advisor, having worked with over 10,000 businesses and achieved an average growth margin of 45% within 12 months. During this time, I've learned a lot of things, some of which worked and some of which didn't. I've selected my top five effective strategies that you need to know in 2026. Watch this video and learn what I think is the difference between success and failure in business. 1. Lack of measurement - One of the biggest mistakes I see is a lack of measurement.  I'm not talking about financial measurement, although I would say financial awareness is definitely a mistake made by 80+ percent of all small business owners. Rather, I'm talking about a lack of quantification and measurement of sales and marketing results.  In this video, I discuss what you should be measuring and why you should be measuring it. 2. Testing - the three most important things in marketing and sales: testing, testing, and testing. Learn why by watching this video. 3. Better, more, 4. Better, more, new - This is one of the secrets to your success in business.  The steps are: 1. Improve your marketing by making it better 2. Do more of it 3. Introduce new marketing ideas You must follow this order and not do it the other way around. 5. The last of the five key areas is AI, or artificial intelligence – I'm not talking about ChatGPT. I'm talking about maximising your AI results by learning a few AI tools that really work and can make a massive difference in your business.  I would estimate that 99% of small businesses that use AI are using less than 5% of the effectiveness of the individual AI resources.

Sales Mastery - How to turn more leads into sales by Steve Mills

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2430561/fan_mail/new] Most businesses are not losing sales because they are generating the wrong leads. They are losing sales because they are giving up too soon. Research consistently shows that it takes between eight and twelve contacts to convert a prospect into a paying client. Yet the majority of business owners and salespeople give up after just two, three, or four attempts — and then wonder why their conversion rate is so low. In this video, Steve Mills — business growth expert with 31 years of experience and over 10,000 clients — walks you through the exact system he uses to convert more leads into sales, predictably and consistently.

Referral systems that actually work.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2430561/fan_mail/new] Word of mouth is the most powerful marketing channel available, and here's how to systematise it so it happens consistently. Let me ask you something: how many of your clients have referred someone to you in the past? For most business owners, the answer is somewhere between one and three. And yet, if I asked those same clients whether they would recommend you to someone, the chances are most of them would say yes. So, why is there such a gap between the willingness to refer and actually doing so? The answer is simple: 1. You have not asked. 2. You have not made it easy. Most clients will refer you, but most never do. They never do until and unless you get a system for acquiring those referrals at zero cost. In this podcast, I am going to show you how.
