Recently we read about an amazing woman, Sramana Mitra, who launched a project to help one million business owners do a million dollars in annual revenues by 2020. That is a very lofty goal – and she has inspired us.
Our take on it at Score More Sales is that we are offering to help 100 entrepreneurs create $100,000 in revenues (or in additional revenues- for those who are already at or beyond six-figures). We think an extra $100K in your pocket could be of great value – not just to you, but to those you would contribute to and to your community at large.
This week we’ll roll out the new page with business owners who are ready to take the challenge. Here are the rules:
1. You must have products and/or services that have value… hopefully differentiated value- and you can convey that value.
2. You must know who your target market is – at least by demographic – even better if you have lists of potential prospective customers.
3. You must be open-minded and ready to do what ever it takes to grow your business.
4. You must have energy and enthusiasm about your products / services.
5. You must attend at least a monthly call and prepare a brief, written update every two-weeks on how your efforts are going, what new opportunities you are finding, and what challenges are in the way.
In return, WE ARE:
- hosting a teleconference call every Friday and will record it for those who cannot attend.
- offering ”call-in” days twice a month with any questions or comments
- connecting the 100 business owners so they can support, collaborate with, and champion each other
- offering periodic no-cost workshops on things like social media and time management
- creating a web page with all of the business owners / businesses on it to help further promote them
There is a one-time, $100 investment for everything above, and we all sign a simple agreement for accountability.
When you reach your $100K (sometime in 2011 or Q1 2012) – we just ask for $500 to cover our costs, and a video or audio endorsement of our program.
Stay tuned for more details and meet the first five entrepreneurs to “step up” into this program! By helping entrepreneurs grow revenues, we help their employees get and keep work, we help local non-profits, and that all grows our community. It just makes sense, doesn’t it?
Contact one of us at Score More Sales if you are interested in participating, or know of someone who is. We’ll send you an agreement, a couple of forms about your business for you to fill out to us, and a schedule through March of important dates for lessons, plus deadlines.
