00:00:35 | 00:00:39 | is pretty exciting it's something I |
00:00:36 | 00:00:40 | haven't toked about much but a lot of |
00:00:39 | 00:00:42 | you it was especially my students to |
00:00:40 | 00:00:46 | know that I have a subscription box |
00:00:42 | 00:00:49 | business has a roughly 2,500 now |
00:00:46 | 00:00:52 | subscribers in it monthly which equates |
00:00:49 | 00:00:54 | to about forty-five fifty thousand |
00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | dollars in revenue per month for that |
00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | business but I wanted to show you guys |
00:00:56 | 00:01:02 | because that's actually the business I'm |
00:00:58 | 00:01:03 | currently in the process of selling so I |
00:01:02 | 00:01:06 | could tok about a little bit more as |
00:01:03 | 00:01:09 | time goes on here but I want to show you |
00:01:06 | 00:01:11 | guys how how we grew it as fast as we |
00:01:09 | 00:01:12 | did because it didn't take long we |
00:01:11 | 00:01:16 | actually got it up to two thousand |
00:01:12 | 00:01:19 | subscribers and less than a year right |
00:01:16 | 00:01:22 | it was like really quickly and I want to |
00:01:19 | 00:01:23 | show you guys how how we did that and it |
00:01:22 | 00:01:26 | was primarily using click funnels right |
00:01:23 | 00:01:28 | now what we we ended up doing we we |
00:01:26 | 00:01:30 | similar if you've been following the |
00:01:28 | 00:01:33 | channel guys you know how mentor box is |
00:01:30 | 00:01:34 | completely built on click funnels well |
00:01:33 | 00:01:36 | that's exactly what we did we had with |
00:01:34 | 00:01:40 | this business however when we were |
00:01:36 | 00:01:43 | thinking it's time to sell the business |
00:01:40 | 00:01:45 | we thought maybe hey the people like the |
00:01:43 | 00:01:46 | buyers might be more interested if it's |
00:01:45 | 00:01:49 | on a platform like if all the customers |
00:01:46 | 00:01:51 | are on a platform like on Shopify or |
00:01:49 | 00:01:53 | another platform called crate joy which |
00:01:51 | 00:01:54 | is specifically for subscription boxes |
00:01:53 | 00:01:57 | and that's actually what we ended up |
00:01:54 | 00:01:59 | doing and hindsight the growth slowed |
00:01:57 | 00:02:02 | tremendously ever since we moved it over |
00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | to a crate joy or even if we had moved |
00:02:02 | 00:02:07 | it over to Shopify the growth is just |
00:02:03 | 00:02:09 | very very small and you're about to see |
00:02:07 | 00:02:13 | why why we were able to grow so fast as |
00:02:09 | 00:02:16 | compared to let's say a subscription box |
00:02:13 | 00:02:19 | just primarily cells on a Shopify store |
00:02:16 | 00:02:23 | a crate joist or and you're severely at |
00:02:19 | 00:02:25 | a disadvantage when you do so so guys |
00:02:23 | 00:02:28 | the the cool thing about it is the |
00:02:25 | 00:02:30 | funnel is the same right the funnel is |
00:02:28 | 00:02:32 | completely the same as we've been |
00:02:30 | 00:02:35 | toking about right we have an opt-in |
00:02:32 | 00:02:40 | page right we have our order form page |
00:02:35 | 00:02:42 | all right we have upsell one upsell two |
00:02:40 | 00:02:45 | and then a thank-you page we'll keep |
00:02:42 | 00:02:48 | this keep this as simple as possible so |
00:02:45 | 00:02:50 | right we have our let me write this out |
00:02:48 | 00:02:53 | so because my mouse has been acting |
00:02:50 | 00:03:00 | funny lately all right so we have our |
00:02:53 | 00:03:09 | opt-in page here opt-in order order |
00:03:00 | 00:03:12 | upsell one one upsell two and a Thank |
00:03:09 | 00:03:15 | You page right and the thing here guys |
00:03:12 | 00:03:17 | is it's not like the thing a lot of |
00:03:15 | 00:03:19 | subscription box business owners don't |
00:03:17 | 00:03:22 | realize is selling subscription on the |
00:03:19 | 00:03:25 | front end is extremely difficult |
00:03:22 | 00:03:27 | extremely difficult and the reason is |
00:03:25 | 00:03:29 | people hate being billed people do not |
00:03:27 | 00:03:31 | like being billed on a monthly basis |
00:03:29 | 00:03:33 | like who wants that nobody wants that |
00:03:31 | 00:03:34 | all right it's like oh it's an edit |
00:03:33 | 00:03:37 | here's that bill every day of the month |
00:03:34 | 00:03:38 | right and it's hard for people to commit |
00:03:37 | 00:03:41 | to something like that right off the bat |
00:03:38 | 00:03:43 | alright so the way we structured it and |
00:03:41 | 00:03:45 | I was heavily invested obviously in |
00:03:43 | 00:03:47 | funnels guys and I thought in my head I |
00:03:45 | 00:03:50 | was like when I started that company I |
00:03:47 | 00:03:54 | was like what if I use these funnels to |
00:03:50 | 00:03:55 | scale this business right because the |
00:03:54 | 00:03:57 | psychology of it guys and with the |
00:03:55 | 00:03:58 | funnels like I've been saying you guys |
00:03:57 | 00:04:01 | right every step of the way is a yes or |
00:03:58 | 00:04:02 | no question it's very simple right on |
00:04:01 | 00:04:06 | our opt-in page right they give us our |
00:04:02 | 00:04:08 | their email address right owner forum is |
00:04:06 | 00:04:11 | billing right they give up their billing |
00:04:08 | 00:04:13 | and click yes right and an upsell right |
00:04:11 | 00:04:15 | here so this is how the flow of the |
00:04:13 | 00:04:16 | funnel was basically right we got our |
00:04:15 | 00:04:19 | opt-in for a free plus shipping offer |
00:04:16 | 00:04:21 | let's say all right a free plus shipping |
00:04:19 | 00:04:24 | offer we primarily used free plus |
00:04:21 | 00:04:26 | shipping offers or we did like a big |
00:04:24 | 00:04:28 | discount right because those are |
00:04:26 | 00:04:30 | acquire new customers like that right |
00:04:28 | 00:04:33 | it's easy to acquire new cold traffic |
00:04:30 | 00:04:34 | that you're sending to a funnel if it's |
00:04:33 | 00:04:37 | a free plus shipping our big discount |
00:04:34 | 00:04:38 | all right because you want them to do |
00:04:37 | 00:04:41 | like a little micro commitment so a free |
00:04:38 | 00:04:43 | plus shipping offer right we send them |
00:04:41 | 00:04:46 | to our order page where they fill out |
00:04:43 | 00:04:47 | their billing information and this would |
00:04:46 | 00:04:51 | be our free plus shipping product |
00:04:47 | 00:04:53 | obviously not a subscription product yet |
00:04:51 | 00:04:54 | upsell one we would sell them more of |
00:04:53 | 00:04:56 | the same thing that we did under order |
00:04:54 | 00:05:00 | form right just getting them saying yes |
00:04:56 | 00:05:04 | some more right and upsell to is where |
00:05:00 | 00:05:06 | we would now offer them a trial or the |
00:05:04 | 00:05:09 | full subscription we tested a million |
00:05:06 | 00:05:10 | different ways here and there's a lot of |
00:05:09 | 00:05:12 | things that work and a lot of things |
00:05:10 | 00:05:13 | that don't work and that's too much to |
00:05:12 | 00:05:15 | go into right now about how to get them |
00:05:13 | 00:05:17 | to say yes right here right but |
00:05:15 | 00:05:21 | essentially we had a video on this page |
00:05:17 | 00:05:24 | right and on this upsell too we would |
00:05:21 | 00:05:27 | say hey do you want to join our monthly |
00:05:24 | 00:05:28 | box or members area or whatever you're |
00:05:27 | 00:05:31 | selling that's a monthly subscription |
00:05:28 | 00:05:33 | plan right and we'd explain it all in |
00:05:31 | 00:05:35 | the video obviously there'll be a Terms |
00:05:33 | 00:05:36 | of Service here that hey you are going |
00:05:35 | 00:05:39 | to be billed you know twenty twenty-five |
00:05:36 | 00:05:41 | dollars a month blah blah blah and if |
00:05:39 | 00:05:43 | they click yes they would be sent |
00:05:41 | 00:05:44 | obviously - Thank You page yes or no |
00:05:43 | 00:05:47 | they'd be sent to the Thank You page |
00:05:44 | 00:05:49 | right and that's guys the cool thing |
00:05:47 | 00:05:53 | about using the funnel to do this and |
00:05:49 | 00:06:00 | you guys might not realize this is right |
00:05:53 | 00:06:05 | here we are already making money right |
00:06:00 | 00:06:07 | so say on average on average right it |
00:06:05 | 00:06:10 | costs us about five dollars to acquire a |
00:06:07 | 00:06:13 | customer on Facebook ads let's say right |
00:06:10 | 00:06:15 | well our average cart value here was |
00:06:13 | 00:06:19 | closer to twenty-five dollars right |
00:06:15 | 00:06:21 | twenty-five dollar average cart value so |
00:06:19 | 00:06:24 | we were actually making money right here |
00:06:21 | 00:06:28 | we were making money through our funnel |
00:06:24 | 00:06:31 | already so whenever it's amazing so this |
00:06:28 | 00:06:33 | the subscription we essentially were |
00:06:31 | 00:06:36 | getting paid to it so if we if I was |
00:06:33 | 00:06:38 | just sending subscription products to as |
00:06:36 | 00:06:39 | the front and offer I would have to pay |
00:06:38 | 00:06:41 | for a customer to become a |
00:06:39 | 00:06:43 | scriber right I would have to pay for it |
00:06:41 | 00:06:45 | here I'm actually making money because |
00:06:43 | 00:06:48 | of my free plus shipping offer my |
00:06:45 | 00:06:53 | average carbon is 25 - the add cost |
00:06:48 | 00:06:55 | Manus - the - the like product costs all |
00:06:53 | 00:06:57 | that stuff so let's say you know worst |
00:06:55 | 00:07:03 | case we're making ten dollars of profit |
00:06:57 | 00:07:06 | perk average customer right plus if they |
00:07:03 | 00:07:11 | said yes to our subscription that's an |
00:07:06 | 00:07:14 | extra - we'll say $25 per month right |
00:07:11 | 00:07:15 | and we don't have to pay to acquire that |
00:07:14 | 00:07:17 | customer right here because we already |
00:07:15 | 00:07:20 | got them on a profit right here on |
00:07:17 | 00:07:22 | average which is that is how we were |
00:07:20 | 00:07:24 | able to scale it because when when this |
00:07:22 | 00:07:26 | was when I was like in the heat of this |
00:07:24 | 00:07:30 | growing this company guys I could spend |
00:07:26 | 00:07:35 | a thousand dollars a day on ads like one |
00:07:30 | 00:07:36 | ad set right and be profitable right and |
00:07:35 | 00:07:39 | grow my subscribers at the same time of |
00:07:36 | 00:07:41 | course there's gonna be people that say |
00:07:39 | 00:07:44 | no here right but what we've seen on |
00:07:41 | 00:07:46 | average here we were getting close to |
00:07:44 | 00:07:48 | ten to twenty percent of people were |
00:07:46 | 00:07:49 | saying yes right and the reason they |
00:07:48 | 00:07:51 | were saying yes guys is because they |
00:07:49 | 00:07:54 | said yes here they said yes here they |
00:07:51 | 00:07:56 | said yes or no here right when you get |
00:07:54 | 00:07:58 | people saying yes the more times in a |
00:07:56 | 00:08:00 | row right they're gonna be a lot less |
00:07:58 | 00:08:02 | more likely to buy your subscription |
00:08:00 | 00:08:04 | product people hate buying subscription |
00:08:02 | 00:08:05 | on the front end right here your |
00:08:04 | 00:08:08 | indoctrinating them into your business |
00:08:05 | 00:08:10 | right you're making money here right so |
00:08:08 | 00:08:14 | essentially you're making money right |
00:08:10 | 00:08:16 | for acquiring a customer here guys this |
00:08:14 | 00:08:18 | is the same strategy that a lot of big |
00:08:16 | 00:08:20 | businesses do for example with click |
00:08:18 | 00:08:22 | funnels the reason click funnels was |
00:08:20 | 00:08:23 | able to scout a 100 million dollar |
00:08:22 | 00:08:26 | company or whatever it is that now |
00:08:23 | 00:08:27 | ridiculous is because russell brunson |
00:08:26 | 00:08:29 | had all these free plus shipping book |
00:08:27 | 00:08:31 | funnels right he had the book funnel you |
00:08:29 | 00:08:33 | went through he made a little bit of |
00:08:31 | 00:08:35 | money on that book funnel but he also |
00:08:33 | 00:08:37 | knew the number hey 10% of people 15 |
00:08:35 | 00:08:39 | percent of people that bought that book |
00:08:37 | 00:08:41 | would is eventually go on his |
00:08:39 | 00:08:43 | reoccurring click funnels subscription |
00:08:41 | 00:08:46 | does that make sense |
00:08:43 | 00:08:49 | right it's it's amazing it's truly |
00:08:46 | 00:08:51 | amazing like this this this right here |
00:08:49 | 00:08:52 | is what can scale a business like crazy |
00:08:51 | 00:08:55 | guys it's it |
00:08:52 | 00:08:58 | it's absurd and you can literally have |
00:08:55 | 00:09:04 | this implemented into your funnel so |
00:08:58 | 00:09:08 | side you note here guys is the reason |
00:09:04 | 00:09:11 | this doesn't work like they're the one |
00:09:08 | 00:09:14 | downside to to all of this right because |
00:09:11 | 00:09:17 | it all seems amazing right your customer |
00:09:14 | 00:09:19 | service is going to suck right here so |
00:09:17 | 00:09:23 | you need to have your customer service |
00:09:19 | 00:09:24 | knocked like look unlock like you need |
00:09:23 | 00:09:27 | to look three or four support people if |
00:09:24 | 00:09:28 | you're pushing as many and like pushing |
00:09:27 | 00:09:31 | a lot of traffic to this and getting |
00:09:28 | 00:09:33 | subscribers alright because when you're |
00:09:31 | 00:09:35 | using a platform like Creek Julie or |
00:09:33 | 00:09:35 | Shopify right the customer has an |
00:09:35 | 00:09:37 | account |
00:09:35 | 00:09:39 | alright the customer has an account that |
00:09:37 | 00:09:42 | they can log into and cancel whenever |
00:09:39 | 00:09:45 | they want with this guys right you're |
00:09:42 | 00:09:46 | going on to a stripe subscription plan |
00:09:45 | 00:09:49 | right yeah to set it up there's some |
00:09:46 | 00:09:51 | stuff you got to setup all there and |
00:09:49 | 00:09:54 | when you own that stripe subscription |
00:09:51 | 00:09:57 | plan right they don't have access to |
00:09:54 | 00:09:59 | cancel themselves so essentially you |
00:09:57 | 00:10:02 | need good customer support people |
00:09:59 | 00:10:04 | hopefully you have a support number that |
00:10:02 | 00:10:06 | would be preferable if you have a |
00:10:04 | 00:10:10 | support number that they could reach at |
00:10:06 | 00:10:13 | and they would have to call to cancel |
00:10:10 | 00:10:14 | they would have to email to cancel and a |
00:10:13 | 00:10:16 | lot of you might be thinking oh that's a |
00:10:14 | 00:10:18 | terrible thing that's terrible my |
00:10:16 | 00:10:20 | customer service will go down the drain |
00:10:18 | 00:10:22 | but guys to being 100% honest with you |
00:10:20 | 00:10:24 | and you guys know I'm 100% honest with |
00:10:22 | 00:10:25 | you you don't want to make it like like |
00:10:24 | 00:10:27 | look break their interface okay just |
00:10:25 | 00:10:28 | cancel right here and you know through |
00:10:27 | 00:10:30 | email here this is just cancel right |
00:10:28 | 00:10:32 | here you want it with the subscription |
00:10:30 | 00:10:35 | box business you don't want to make it |
00:10:32 | 00:10:37 | like a super super simple to cancel you |
00:10:35 | 00:10:39 | want to make them you know go on Dollar |
00:10:37 | 00:10:41 | Shave Club it's very difficult to find |
00:10:39 | 00:10:42 | out how to cancel your thing right there |
00:10:41 | 00:10:44 | kind of hide it you got to find it bah |
00:10:42 | 00:10:46 | bah bah and then eventually you know 30 |
00:10:44 | 00:10:48 | seconds of looking you're like I don't |
00:10:46 | 00:10:49 | even want to cancel anymore all right |
00:10:48 | 00:10:51 | that's the psychology behind it it's the |
00:10:49 | 00:10:53 | same thing here so we that's why your |
00:10:51 | 00:10:55 | customer service here is actually very |
00:10:53 | 00:10:57 | very important it's right there one of |
00:10:55 | 00:10:59 | the most important pieces of the |
00:10:57 | 00:11:00 | business guys the customer service right |
00:10:59 | 00:11:01 | so they can follow up with customers if |
00:11:00 | 00:11:03 | they need to update their payment |
00:11:01 | 00:11:05 | information if they if they want to |
00:11:03 | 00:11:07 | cancel right |
00:11:05 | 00:11:09 | and especially you can also do different |
00:11:07 | 00:11:11 | upsells here as well it there's some |
00:11:09 | 00:11:13 | crazy stuff you could do within |
00:11:11 | 00:11:15 | clickfunnels and subscription businesses |
00:11:13 | 00:11:17 | but I don't want to go into all that |
00:11:15 | 00:11:19 | book guys if you found this stuff cool |
00:11:17 | 00:11:21 | this is what I help a lot of students |
00:11:19 | 00:11:23 | implement into their business and I work |
00:11:21 | 00:11:24 | with them one-on-one to do this because |
00:11:23 | 00:11:26 | it's so different for every business |
00:11:24 | 00:11:29 | there's no one-size-fits-all for this |
00:11:26 | 00:11:32 | right for me it might be subscription |
00:11:29 | 00:11:34 | boxes for you it might be a members area |
00:11:32 | 00:11:36 | where you have digital product products |
00:11:34 | 00:11:37 | or some sort of videos that help your |
00:11:36 | 00:11:40 | customers like if you're in fitness or |
00:11:37 | 00:11:41 | something like that right so it's |
00:11:40 | 00:11:43 | different for every customer that's why |
00:11:41 | 00:11:45 | it's hard for me to just teach it to you |
00:11:43 | 00:11:47 | guys there's no there's no |
00:11:45 | 00:11:48 | one-size-fits-all here that's why I work |
00:11:47 | 00:11:49 | with people one on one on this but so if |
