Pivot to Products

When you’re thinking about changing from a service-based business to a product-based business, you need a road map to get you on your way. The Pivot to Products course is your roadmap.

 

I know what it feels like when you’re running a service-based business.

You’re always at the beck and call of clients, and you’re always looking out for the next potential client.

And when you’ve been doing this for a while, you start to get booked up. You’re permanently busy with client projects. This sounds good in theory. Everyone always asks you if you’re “busy”, but it can be a massive pain to always be “busy”. You end up with no time. There’s no time to keep up with new ideas in your field, learn new skills, or even get on top of the admin. Let alone take a week off once in a while.

And then you realise that this is it. You’re running at capacity and to keep earning the same amount of money, you always have to stay just as busy. And there’s always this little niggle in your head that you can never say no to a client project because we all have this deep down fear that there might not be another one coming in. After all, we all have bills to pay.

The trouble is, no matter how hard you work, there’s always a ceiling on what you can earn. Because there are only 24 hours in every day.

That’s why more and more of us are finding ways to move away from the trap of billable hours

And to create a more dependable method of paying those bills. That’s why more and more of us are building product-based businesses.

But when you’re busy like this, you don’t have the time to research finding that different way of working. To work out the best product format, or how to put together a productised service offering. Making changes is difficult if you don’t have a roadmap to show the way.

You’ve probably already started doing some of that research. It can begin to feel like the world of products is an alien landscape. All this talk of lead magnets, list building and launches. And, I have to be honest, some of the advice online can come across as spammy and unethical. Or just too good to be true – are we supposed to believe in those mythical “six-figure launches”? If it were that easy, we’d all be living happily ever after.

That’s why I’ve put together Pivot to Products. I’ve gone through this many times with clients, and I’ve applied these methods to my own business.

How Pivot to Products cuts through all the crap to get you on the road

In Pivot to Products, I’ve distilled everything I know about building a successful product-based business into an easy to follow, crystal clear path.

Pivot to Products gives you a plain sailing roadmap for developing recurring revenue products based on the knowledge you already use with clients every day.

Jon Walton and Roy Barker from Spike Insight have already been through their own pivot to products.

They say:

“What Julia helped us to do was focus back down on the stuff that would matter to the client, the stuff that we could deliver, and build the ecosystem.” Roy Barker

“She’s an entrepreneur that has done lots of different things with lots of different people and you get a condensed version of that process. In a very simple easy way to understand from someone that is nice to do business with” Jon Walton

Hannah's quick wins

Hannah Martin from Talented Ladies Club reflects on her pivot to products and the results she saw.

I knew that that would take a while, but I started to see differences straightaway with some small quick wins.

The difference it made not just to the turnover and the consistency of turnover but the profit margin as well…and just the strength of the business.”
