Scaling past $1 Million has been one of the biggest challenges for me as a business owner. I'm curious what steps did you take to get over that hump and what advice do you have to get there?
Set goals for your employees and upsell new products that your clients are in need of what kind of business do you operate? I am in heating and air conditioning
I am a painting contractor. We might potentially surpass $1 Million this year for the first time. We have almost done it twice. The first time the business really struggled. Learned a lot from that in 2022. Spent the last 3 years implementing everything I learned and now it seems we might finally do it. But I feel like I could do better with understanding some things to really go to the next level.
Successful businesses, build simple systems!! Thats one of the first steps.
Another important step is putting some type of sales process in-place and keeping the pipeline full.
Many others, but I would say those two helped us scale past 7 figures.
This is something I have really been focused on the last year. I hired a sales guy and we have been working to refine our sales process. We have already hit last years number at the end of September so we have another quarter to really push and potentially hit $1 Million for the first time.
YESSS!!!
But, always remember... Revenue should be a consequence, not a goal!
