RetainFM – Build your Digital Agency on Recurring Revenue

MDP064 – Why Recurring Revenue Is Vital For Your Business


Listen Later

Main talking points include:

What recurring revenue IS NOT:

  • Money for nothing
  • Service Fees
  • To be taken for granted

 

What recurring revenue IS:

  • Predictable
  • Built to scale
  • A means to deliver ONGOING VALUE to your clients
  • A benchmark to provide security for you / your staff / your family

 

Do a quick calculation – how many people depend on your company? 

Number of staff + their spouses / dependants (animals?!)

SO… = 10 staff = 24 lives dependant on our income

 

Recurring Revenue and Me… 

Freelance Business: 

  • Started with £10.00
  • NEVER lost a quote on price
  • Triggered the feast/famine cycle in my business and my family life
  • Built a successful “freelance” business, but didn’t have the overheads to employ anyone
  • Built it into low six figures

 

Ecommerce Agency: 

  • Team of 16 when I started…. 
  • Turnover of around £600,000 with around £240,000 (£20K / month) of this being recurring
  • When I left (2 years 3 months later): 
  • Team of 36
  • RR of £96,000 / month (or £1.15M)

 

SO… 

  • Started in 2016
  • By month 7 RR covered the overheads of the business
  • Y2 - six figures of RR
  • Y3 - multiple 6 figures… 
  • I have NEVER not paid myself or my team
  • The team started as 2… it’s now 9. 

 

 

What RR gives you that's MORE THAN MONEY

  • Business Value
  • Looking to sell your business 1 day, contracted RR is the second biggest multiple of business valuation (after property)
  • Freedom
  • The power to make decisions
  • Commitment
  • A platform to add and demonstrate value to a select group of clients
  • The ability to charge what you’re worth, rather than racing to the bottom
  • A means to get out of the feast / famine cycle

 

 

You’re talking just about agencies, right? 

WRONG! 

  • I AM talking about service based B2B business… 
  • Consultants
  • Copywriters
  • Designers
  • Developers
  • Marketers
  • Social Media Managers
  • Bloggers
  • Course Creators
  • Researchers
  • SEOs
  • Lead gen
  • Photographers
  • Illustrators
  • Authors
  • Translators

 

 

How do you get started? 

  • Design
  • Market
  • Deliver
