Steps to Set Your Goals
1. Goal Deadline
Select Your Deadline: Choose a realistic deadline for your goal.
Example: If it's January, you might set the deadline for the end of the year. If you're starting in October, you might choose a custom date further into the future.
2. Base Revenue and Revenue Goal
Base Revenue: Enter the revenue you expect to make without any additional marketing efforts.
Revenue Goal: Enter the total revenue you aim to achieve by the deadline.
Example: If your base revenue is $100,000 and you want to reach $200,000, your gap is $100,000.
3. Customer Value
Enter Customer Value: Provide the average revenue per customer.
Example: If a typical job generates $1,000, enter $1,000.
Adjust as Needed: You can edit this value anytime to see how changes impact your goals.
4. Measurement Metrics
Select What to Measure: Choose the metric that best suits your business and personality.
Options: Customers, leads, quality conversations, in-home meetings, estimates, etc.
Example: Select "leads" if you want to track lead generation.
5. Conversion Rate
Leads to Customer Ratio: Enter how many leads are needed to acquire one customer.
Example: If 2 leads typically convert to 1 customer, enter "2."
6. Sales Cycle Duration
Closing Time: Specify if it takes longer than a month to close a deal.
Example: Home remodeling might take 3 months, while cleaning services might be immediate.
Behavior Curve: Adjusting this will change the behavior curve, reflecting the delay in revenue realization.
