Have you also noticed what tends to happen, (over and over again), when you place 100% or more, of your entrepreneurial focus, on generating gross front end sales?
Typically, because most of your ongoing expenses, seem to originate, at the beginning of your advertising and or promotional sales funnel.
This being the case, at least 60-85% of your customer/client cost, goes to acquiring your -all important- first time customer or client.
And typically since the vast majority, of semi cash strapped, small business owners or service providers, have no viable back end marketing and or promotional strategy o any kind.
They tend to get stuck, trying to generate first time customers or clients over and over, and they usually have very little net profit margin, to speak of.
And as a direct result, of this all too common, promotional cycle.They almost never get to the position, of being able to consistently work on, not just in their business and or entrepreneurial venture.

But this is definitely about to change.As a direct result of you visiting an upscale, independently owned, men-s clothing store.Which truth told, you’ve become a regular customer of, over the last 18 months or so.
You basically purchase, a really nice men-s suit, and two shirts and a couple of ties.And even with your annual 20% off, VIP customer savings incentive. All told, you just added an additional $1,400 dollars and change, to their bottom line.
Bur what immediately catches your marketing eye, is two things. First.Yo notice as you’re being serviced.At least three of the other men who are also shopping.They too spend somewhere close to $800 or $900 dollars each.
Which immediately triggers, your creative marketing juices.
