What is FRAP?
FRAP stands for:
Frequency: How often customers buy from you.
Referrals: How many new customers come from existing customer referrals.
Average Ticket: The average amount of money spent per transaction.
Price: The amount you charge for your services or products.
Why Use FRAP?
The FRAP Calculator helps you maximize your revenue without significant additional spending. By focusing on these four elements, you can significantly reduce your revenue gap.
Example Scenario
Suppose your revenue goal is $1,000,000, and your current revenue is $600,000. Your revenue gap is $400,000.
Increasing Frequency
Definition: Frequency refers to how often customers purchase from you.
Example: If you provide a cleaning service once a year, increasing frequency to 1.15 times a year (an additional cleaning for some customers) can reduce your revenue gap significantly.
Boosting Referrals
Definition: Referrals are new customers acquired through existing customers.
Strategy: Implement systems and scripts to encourage referrals. Consider joint venture partners and Dream 100 strategies to expand referral sources beyond individual customers.
Example: Achieving 15% of your revenue from referrals can cut your revenue gap in half.
Raising the Average Ticket
Definition: Average ticket is the average amount spent per transaction.
Example: Increasing your average ticket by 15% (e.g., from $1,000 to $1,150) can drastically reduce your revenue gap.
Adjusting Prices
Definition: Price refers to the amount you charge for your services or products.
Impact: Price increases directly affect your profit margins. Even a slight increase in price can have a substantial impact on closing your revenue gap.
Example: A 15% price increase can reduce your revenue gap from $400,000 to $87,000.
