The 7 Business Levers


Listen Later

Scaling your business to drive sales without the training or experience can easily turn into a disaster, but it’s not at all impossible. One of the key things to consider in your marketing efforts is putting a management framework in place, which includes focusing on:

  • Where your numbers are;
  • What’s currently driving profit; and
  • What is being implemented in each area of your business.

In this insightful episode, we’re joined by Pete Williams — a renowned marketing strategist and author of the book, Cadence: A Tale of Fast Business Growth. Pete talks about the 7 Business Levers and how you can apply these areas of focus to your business framework so you can see your business scale in no time. 

Be sure to take note of these straightforward strategies that’ll help you flip that switch for consistent growth and massive success. Let’s dive in!
