Ready?
I’m giving away a trip to London.
You have to promise not to tell… It’s supposed to be a surprise announcement at the retreat [which is why this blog post is unlisted] but now you’ve got the scoop!
I will be inviting one retreat attendee to an exclusive 1:1 session with me in London: flight, hotel, most meals and transportation all covered. Why? This will be the prize for the attendee who best accomplishes the goals they set at the retreat. It’s an incentive and reward for hard-earned success. Why?
Because I care about your results.
Let me be clear… Holding a weekend retreat in a 5-star hotel 5,000 miles away from where I live with 90 days of FREE follow-up accountability is not the most profitable endeavor for me and my business. In fact, this will be one of the least profitable products I have ever offered! This retreat is about something more – it’s about transformation.
It’s about creating a space for a select few amazing photographers to show up, fill up, connect in person and launch into the New Year with confidence, clarity and a tight-knit community to lean on. To me, this seemed like the most effective recipe for results, and it seemed like a really great gift to my community – so here we are…
Let’s talk about these ‘results’
With a $5k investment, I would expect your ROI [return on investment] to fall somewhere between $10,000 and $50,000 [and up!] This depends on the business you already have running, the effort you put in and just how big you dare to dream. Let’s look at a couple ways you can add $10-50,000 to your business as a result of attending this retreat:
- Increase in Average Sale. We will have a module to work on your pricing strategy, so if you currently make an average of $1000 per sale, and you’re able to eek that up to $1500 [although to be honest, you can probably double it] and let’s say you manage that with 24 clients in 2017 [2 a month] – boom that’s $12k
- Increase in Clients. Let’s say you currently get great results but struggle to get enough clients. Let’s say your average sale is already between $1500-$2000 – but you’re only getting like one client or two a month at that level. Let’s say by the concerted marketing efforts you put in early in the year, by summer time you’ve double your clients per month, and by the holidays you’ve got a steady stream so you book out Sept-Dec [because you really can’t work with more than 5 per month] – so overall let’s say last year you had 12 clients at $2000, and in 2017 you manage to get 20 at $2000 – that’s an increase of 8, for an extra $16k!
- New Revenue Stream: Commercial – Let’s say you are super excited to look at adding commercial work to your portfolio and you have no idea where to start. At the retreat you get a solid sales plan and pricing model for starting out working with small businesses and you manage to get 10 commercial client projects in 2017, 6 for $3k each and 4 for $5k! Wow that’s an extra $38,000 in your business!!
- New Revenue Stream: Passive Income – Perhaps you’re looking at teaching and you’re not sure where to start. At the retreat you decide your big goal is an ebook or ecourse to teach something niche to an audience you really ‘get’. Let’s say the price for this product is $199 and through the marketing plan you set you’re able to get it done by April and sell 25 at launch, and then 5 a month for the rest of the year, another 25 at half-off during the holidays when you promote it again. That’s 65 at regular price and 25 at half-price – that’s over $15,000 added to your business, without much marketing effort or hours-invested after the initial creation. [I bet you could even double these numbers!] – Plus now you’ve done it once, you can do it over and over!
If you were able to do ALL of these things [we’ll go over all of these at the retreat] that’s an ROI of $76,000 on your $5k investment. Even if it takes you two years to reach – and even if your costs are 20%-30% – that’s a pretty spectacular return! Plus once you’ve learned it – it’s yours to use / repeat forever!!
Oh, did I mention – these are the types of results my clients are already getting? This is not made-up stuff… just last month one of my 1:1 clients managed to create $30k of revenue in two months, catapulting her over six-figures for the first time ever – a goal she didn’t think she was going to reach this year!!
