The choices can seem overwhelming…Do you add a membership website, launch a high-ticket coaching program or produce a home study course and sell it online? Maybe host a teleseminar series?
All of these are great revenue streams to integrate into your business but most take time, long, complex marketing campaigns and typically, a list bigger than the one you currently possess.
Which is why I love recommending starting with something that’s fast, easy and SIMPLE. One of my favorite quick start income streams is to offer a virtual VIP Day retreat.
Think of a virtual VIP Day in the same way you would a private in-person intensive, only instead of having to find a location, get dressed up, put on make-up and make travel arrangements for either you or your client, you meet on the telephone for a series of calls, all scheduled to happen in one day and focused on helping your client in your area of expertise.
If this idea sounds appealing to you then read on, as you’re going to love and appreciate the quick tips I’m sharing with you so that you can successfully design and deliver your own virtual VIP Days.
Tip #1 Don’t Go Overboard
Resist the urge to solve all of your clients’ problems in just a few hours on the telephone. Overwhelming your clients is no fun! Choose instead to offer structured, step-by-step coaching or training, specifically focused on ONE topic your clients most want help with. By focusing in this way your clients will be delighted with the results they achieve and will eagerly recommend your virtual VIP Day to others.
Tip #2 Offer Bonus Checklists
Your clients will LOVE any quick reference sheets, tips lists or checklists you can provide so plan on offering a few of these throughout your virtual VIP Day together. Remember, information that may seem like “no big deal” to you can be a VERY big deal and possess great value to your clients.
Tip #3 Plan Ahead For Your “Next, Next, Next” Offer
The end of your virtual VIP day is the perfect time to offer your client a way to continue moving forward with you. This is your opportunity to offer a private or group program that will help keep them on track and in action. Be sure to remind them that the more accountability they have (with you!), the better the results are they’re likely to achieve.
Let Your Income Streams Be Easy
Clients love virtual VIP Days because they’re quick and easy to schedule. Plus, they love getting focused time with YOU. Remember, the easier you can make it for people to hire you, the more people you get to help and share your gifts with!
