7 Centers of Management Attention
Strategic business foundation centers that set up the experience.
Direct customer experience centers and outward facing systems.
© 2012 E-Myth
Business Frustration: “Not Enough Sales”
Lead Generation: This could mean that not enough leads coming in and/or the wrong people are being attracted to the business.
Lead Conversion: A lack of conversion could mean the wrong type of leads are coming and therefore impossible/difficult to convert. Your “value proposition” is not understood clearly compared to competitors. How about pricing? Do you have a sales process that everybody follows? Do you know why people really buy?
Client Fulfillment: This could mean the promise is broken and the customer experience is poor, therefore, no referrals (passive or active) happen. Even worst, customers vote with their feet and talk negatively about the business.

Satisfy vs. Sell
The purpose of Lead Conversion is to satisfy the decision that was already made in Lead Generation.
© 2012 E-Myth
Where does the sale fail?
Thinking of them as “sales.”
Making it more work than it needs to be.
When we think the job is to win over, we ultimately lose.
Just seeing an empty shell with a wallet.

Lead Conversion Process Before
Asking if the customer needs help is a close-ended question that results in “no thanks” 80% of the time
and shuts down the conversion conversation prematurely.

What gets in the way?
The technician who knows too much about the
product, but has not taken the necessary steps to find
out what they need to know about who’s buying
the product.
Blah…blah…blah
…blah. Now I’m
really confused.
