1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,740
In this episode, I'm going to
reveal the 9 essential systems all

2
00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:04,520
online businesses need for success.

3
00:00:04,570 --> 00:00:07,590
You can't build an income and impact
generating online business if you're

4
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:11,170
missing even one of these systems because
they all work together to enable growth.

5
00:00:13,750 --> 00:00:16,410
Hi, I'm David Ziembicki, and you're
about to learn how to grow from

6
00:00:16,410 --> 00:00:20,970
struggling solopreneur to successful
virtual CEO of your own expert business.

7
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:24,530
Your knowledge and skills can change
lives and make the world a better place.

8
00:00:24,859 --> 00:00:27,390
Are you ready to hit the accelerator
to scale your results and impact?

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,480
Then it's time to build
your expert business.

10
00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:35,269
If you're not making at least 6
figures in revenue, it's because you're

11
00:00:35,269 --> 00:00:36,819
missing one or more of these systems.

12
00:00:36,846 --> 00:00:39,496
I call these systems because they
are major business functions that

13
00:00:39,496 --> 00:00:41,166
have inputs, outputs, and metrics.

14
00:00:41,216 --> 00:00:43,196
They should be continuously
improved as you grow.

15
00:00:43,461 --> 00:00:45,221
First is the project management system.

16
00:00:45,261 --> 00:00:48,461
Projects are a set of tasks that deliver
an outcome in a specific time frame.

17
00:00:48,521 --> 00:00:50,821
Even if you're solo, you need
to be able to define and manage

18
00:00:50,841 --> 00:00:53,861
projects, like building a sales
funnel or creating a long form video.

19
00:00:53,911 --> 00:00:56,661
Your project management system should
enable you to define and manage

20
00:00:56,691 --> 00:00:58,201
multiple projects at the same time.

21
00:00:58,281 --> 00:01:00,261
Next is your process management system.

22
00:01:00,401 --> 00:01:02,221
Processes are recurring, ongoing tasks.

23
00:01:02,501 --> 00:01:05,491
Examples include content creation,
publishing, and repurposing.

24
00:01:05,521 --> 00:01:08,581
Your business needs documented standard
operating procedures for all of your

25
00:01:08,581 --> 00:01:10,171
daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.

26
00:01:10,201 --> 00:01:13,881
Your process management system should
enable you to define, manage, and delegate

27
00:01:14,071 --> 00:01:15,741
all of your ongoing and recurring work.

28
00:01:15,801 --> 00:01:18,191
Your sales funnel system is
the next essential system.

29
00:01:18,261 --> 00:01:20,171
They are your revenue generating assets.

30
00:01:20,281 --> 00:01:22,901
Designing, building, testing,
and improving sales funnels is

31
00:01:22,901 --> 00:01:24,051
what this system is all about.

32
00:01:24,111 --> 00:01:27,171
Your sales funnel system should enable
you to create and manage funnels

33
00:01:27,171 --> 00:01:30,421
to attract your audience, convert
them to customers, and ascend them

34
00:01:30,421 --> 00:01:31,711
to your highest level programs.

35
00:01:31,761 --> 00:01:32,931
Next is your product system.

36
00:01:32,941 --> 00:01:34,811
Your products are what your
sales funnels are selling.

37
00:01:34,946 --> 00:01:37,486
Whether it's courses, coaching,
memberships, or other product types,

38
00:01:37,516 --> 00:01:40,476
having a system for designing and
improving your products is important.

39
00:01:40,516 --> 00:01:43,336
Your product system should enable you
to collect your customers requirements

40
00:01:43,506 --> 00:01:45,136
and develop solutions to address them.

41
00:01:45,196 --> 00:01:46,446
Next is your content system.

42
00:01:46,526 --> 00:01:49,476
Content creation is the next essential
system for your online business.

43
00:01:49,516 --> 00:01:51,926
Your content establishes
your authority and expertise.

44
00:01:51,966 --> 00:01:55,756
Your content system enables you to create
once, then repurpose and publish at scale.

45
00:01:55,796 --> 00:01:58,116
Your content system should enable
you to create, publish, and

46
00:01:58,116 --> 00:02:00,116
repurpose a high volume of content.

47
00:02:00,196 --> 00:02:03,496
That's appealing to your ideal customers
across all stages of the buyer's journey.

48
00:02:03,546 --> 00:02:05,216
Right after that is your traffic system.

49
00:02:05,276 --> 00:02:08,096
Even if you have the greatest content,
sales funnels, and products, no one

50
00:02:08,096 --> 00:02:09,526
will see them if you don't have traffic.

51
00:02:09,576 --> 00:02:12,446
Publishing and promoting your content
with appropriate calls to action

52
00:02:12,616 --> 00:02:14,166
is what generates organic traffic.

53
00:02:14,206 --> 00:02:17,126
Running paid ads to generate traffic
amplifies your organic effort.

54
00:02:17,351 --> 00:02:20,781
Your traffic system should enable you to
be visible across all major platforms,

55
00:02:20,821 --> 00:02:23,841
so you have diversification of your
traffic and aren't over dependent on

56
00:02:23,841 --> 00:02:25,531
one social network or ad platform.

57
00:02:25,551 --> 00:02:26,901
Next is your marketing system.

58
00:02:27,021 --> 00:02:29,991
It's the beginning of transforming
traffic into prospects and leads

59
00:02:30,021 --> 00:02:31,351
for your products and services.

60
00:02:31,421 --> 00:02:33,761
This includes content, social
media, and email marketing.

61
00:02:33,781 --> 00:02:36,561
Your marketing system coordinates
and leverages the assets built in the

62
00:02:36,561 --> 00:02:39,581
previous systems, like your content,
your products, and your social channels.

63
00:02:39,661 --> 00:02:42,181
Your marketing system should
enable integrated campaigns

64
00:02:42,371 --> 00:02:43,881
across all channels and mediums.

65
00:02:43,931 --> 00:02:46,721
Next is your sales system, and
that's where your sales funnels lead.

66
00:02:46,846 --> 00:02:49,606
Whether your sales mechanism is
a webinar or a sales call, this

67
00:02:49,616 --> 00:02:52,696
also is a system that needs to be
designed, built, tested, and improved.

68
00:02:52,736 --> 00:02:55,546
Developing a consistent sales
system that generates revenue is

69
00:02:55,546 --> 00:02:57,866
one of the most difficult parts
of building an expert business.

70
00:02:57,916 --> 00:03:01,286
The key is continuous testing and
improvement until your key sales metrics

71
00:03:01,286 --> 00:03:04,756
like cost per lead, cost per call, cost
per client all meet your benchmarks.

72
00:03:04,806 --> 00:03:07,176
Then the final system is
your customer support system.

73
00:03:07,226 --> 00:03:10,376
This is essential for long term growth
as it helps you retain your customers.

74
00:03:10,551 --> 00:03:12,881
and ascend them to your higher
level of products and services.

75
00:03:12,911 --> 00:03:15,741
A great customer experience and
support is essential to retaining

76
00:03:15,741 --> 00:03:18,861
customers, gaining testimonials
from them, and delivering the impact

77
00:03:18,871 --> 00:03:20,351
that helps them achieve their goals.

78
00:03:20,421 --> 00:03:23,191
Your customer support system should
enable you to see where each of your

79
00:03:23,191 --> 00:03:26,381
customers are in your programs, any
issues or challenges they're having,

80
00:03:26,616 --> 00:03:27,996
and their overall satisfaction.

81
00:03:28,106 --> 00:03:29,236
So you're probably asking, really?

82
00:03:29,306 --> 00:03:30,536
All of these are required?

83
00:03:30,626 --> 00:03:32,966
Now I know that sounds like a lot,
especially if you're just starting

84
00:03:32,966 --> 00:03:34,046
your online business journey.

85
00:03:34,086 --> 00:03:37,166
The key is thinking in terms of a
minimum viable product for each of them.

86
00:03:37,206 --> 00:03:40,136
Most people build three or four of
them and spend all of their effort not

87
00:03:40,146 --> 00:03:43,556
realizing their business has no chance of
success without the others being in place.

88
00:03:43,736 --> 00:03:47,836
Implementing 9 systems to the minimum
viable level is much more effective than

89
00:03:47,836 --> 00:03:49,996
3 great systems and missing the other 6.

90
00:03:50,086 --> 00:03:53,666
Imagine great sales funnels, products,
and support, but no marketing or traffic.

91
00:03:53,716 --> 00:03:56,246
Imagine great products, but
terrible customer support.

92
00:03:56,246 --> 00:03:57,226
So how do you take action?

93
00:03:57,386 --> 00:03:59,756
First, assess your business
and which of these systems you

94
00:03:59,756 --> 00:04:00,766
have and which you're missing.

95
00:04:00,796 --> 00:04:03,756
Next, for the systems you have in
place, rate them on a scale of 1 to 10.

96
00:04:03,816 --> 00:04:05,766
Then start implementing the
systems that you're missing.

97
00:04:05,871 --> 00:04:08,781
When all of them are implemented
at an MVP level, start improving

98
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:10,311
the lowest ranking systems first.

99
00:04:10,321 --> 00:04:12,781
