Main talking points include:

Whats the point of this live call? 

To introduce to you a new service that will help you build MRR through selling SEO. 

 

Why is MRR important? 

Monthly recurring revenue brings the following benefits to your business: 

  • Stability of income
  • A move away from the peaks and troughs of the feast/famine cycle
  • The knowledge that your overheads are covered every month, without fail
  • The empowerment of making business decisions as your MRR grows – you can ALWAYS afford it
  • A move away from trading “time for money” into value-based profit

 

What am I referring to by MRR

I’m NOT referring to: 

  • Hosting
  • Low-value website maintenance plans
  • Domain and / or license renewals (with a markup)
  • Affiliate Commissions

What I AM referring to is a definitive monthly recurring service that has a demonstrable effect on your client's bottom line. 

 

Other benefits of recurring services

  • Positioning you as the expert / authority for your clients 
  • Becoming their favourite / the “go to guy or gal"
  • Increasing the average lifetime value of your customers – making sales FAR easier than they ever have been before. 
  • Becoming intrinsically linked to your client's success - so as their organisations grow, so can your services to them. 

 

My Story

Setting up SO… 

  • Focus on recurring revenue
  • Hitting 6 figures in year 1
  • Growing the agency, team, premises, services as the budgets could afford them
  • NEVER not paying myself
  • NEVER being in debt or late paying suppliers

… all through SEO … 

 

Common objections to selling SEO as a service to clients

  • I'm intimidated by offering SEO
  • Intimidated by trying to sell SEO
  • Not sure where to start
  • Not sure how the “process works” 
  • Seems like a LOT of work for the first few clients
  • Not sure how to report results 
  • Don’t have enough confidence to give the right advice to clients
  • What happens if there is bad news? 
  • No time – I’m stacked with projects!
