“I Doubled Last Year’s Revenue…But The Biggest Change Has Been How My Revenues Have Shifted…”

I think Jim Rohn said, “Most people prefer a good excuse to a great opportunity.” Based on the number of excuses I hear from most small technology consultants on why they can’t get a marketing plan implemented, I would agree.
But there is the occasional shining star that proves that determination, a little discipline, and a focus on marketing can move mountains.
Josh Jacoby started out as a small, one-man-band computer consulting firm. Like most other start up computer consultants, Josh didn’t have extra techs, a sales team, or a big marketing budget to use to his advantage. He didn’t have a secretary or a work-from-home wife to help him in the business. And, he only had so many hours in the day to work on marketing and growing his business.
But instead of crying in his soup for what he didn’t have and settling for referrals only, he stepped up and implemented a number of marketing systems in his business. Here is his story on how he was able to double his annual revenue and switch to more reliable revenue streams to guarantee future growth and stability…
“Before working with Robin, I was very frustrated and not making much money. My company generated enough to pay my bills, but I never really felt successful, and I wasn’t fulfilling my goals to grow as a business owner, provide employment, and generate the income I wanted. I had taken many classes and courses on marketing and business management, so I had a lot of knowledge about the basics of marketing. I also knew that I lacked the motivation and mental focus to go through the entire process of developing marketing campaigns, so I started looking for outside help.
I learned about Robin through the ASCII group, bought the Tool Kit, and instantly knew I had found the Promised Land. It was precisely what I wanted – full campaigns geared specifically to my industry.
To date, I’ve used a number of the campaigns and strategies Robin provides in her Tool Kit. I have done newsletters, teleseminars, direct mail, web site makeovers, Google adwords, yellow page ads, van advertising, and lots and lots of networking in the local community.
So far, the results have been excellent! As of writing this I have doubled last year’s revenue, but the biggest change has been how my revenues have shifted. It is almost evenly split between recurring revenue (hosting and managed services), project work, and in product and equipment sales. Now that I’ve switched from hourly work to recurring revenue and managed services, the revenues are much steadier.
I’ve been so overwhelmed with new clients and projects that I stopped mailing the prospecting campaigns Robin gave me for quite a while, but we keep getting new customers from it anyhow. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving!
If everything comes to fruition I’m expecting to add another $40K per year in managed services revenue signed by the end of February. And that’s without even trying!”
