When a customer expresses dissatisfaction or feels they need more support, position a higher-tier service as the specific solution to their problem. This turns a potential churn risk into a revenue expansion event.
Instead of treating a "no" as a dead end, design your sales process to automatically move the prospect to the next monetization opportunity, even if it's a different offer. This provides another chance to provide value and capture revenue, maximizing yield per lead.
Structure onboarding calls to guide clients through setting up necessary third-party tools using your affiliate links. The commissions can pay for the onboarding team and even cover customer acquisition costs, turning a cost center into a profit engine.
Don't underestimate small revenue streams like affiliate commissions. Because they are often pure profit, they go directly to the bottom line and can have a disproportionately large, life-changing impact on a small business owner's personal income.
