But on the flip side, many businesses also experience a time when those phone calls dry up. They struggle financially and wonder how they’re going to pay their bills. Some even wonder if they’ll survive.

Today is about those hard times. I’m going to share 5 strategies you need to know to generate revenue quickly…even if you’re afraid of selling, an introvert or suffer from mindset issues.

Here’s your challenge (that I mention in the Podcast). Make a list of the following:

1. Customers you can upsell to.

2. New products / services you can offer to existing and new customers.

4. Customers or new projects you can raise your prices with.

5. Potential new / re-engaged customers: This includes:

  • Lapsed Customers
  • Uncontacted Leads
  • Non-fits
  • HOT list

Also consider creating a challenge in your office. I.e. Every Friday, ask your team to come up with 1 idea to bring in an additional $500.
