Sprint to Success!
Build and evolve your online business systems using small achievable project sprints.
STEP 1. CLARIFY BUSINESS STRATEGY
- Consistently publish valuable CONTENT to position yourself as a trusted authority in your area of expertise
- Develop MARKETING strategies to attract and build relationships with qualified leads and collaboration partners
- Offer solutions that work through your SALES process
- DELIVER value to clients with excellence
- Support your COMMUNITY by delivering ongoing value
Define a Customer Journey
The core of an online business is designing a process to attract people and build a trusting relationship with them through a series of steps where you interact with your prospective clients through your various free offers and inviting some of them to purchase offers that will help them solve problems or achieve progress towards their aspirations.
In my eBook - Kajabi Made Simple - I describe how to design your customer journey as a series of steps for people to get to know you, and how you can help them, by giving them a progressive set of experiences of working with you. I pulled an excerpt out of that book that you can download for free: the "Online Business Roadmap."
STEP 2 - SELECT SYSTEMS
Deciding what systems to use can be a daunting task and an expensive trial and error exercise in both time and money costing you months of time...
Believe me, I know, because I spent months (years?) of time researching, figuring out what tools are needed for what online business functions, and trying things out. And of course, this landscape of tools is constantly changing...
Taking the time to research all the tools and develop technology expertise to make a good selection is NOT the best use of your time...
Trust me.... You can skip the months-long step of evaluating all the different technology options above...
Kajabi is the easiest to use online business platform...
and does most* of what you need for an expert business!
* Note: While Kajabi provides most of the online business platform functions shown in the "Online Business Platform - More than a Website" illustration above, it does not yet provide appointment calendars and 1:1 Sales CRM message and activity tracking, which still need additional online tools for those functions.
For expert professional entrepreneurs,
I recommend using
as your "all-in-one" online business platform
Background: In my first career of 30+ years, I was responsible for building and supporting engineering software systems for Exxon and NASA. I've always had a personal mission/passion for providing ease of use by software end-users, so I recognize high quality systems and software organizations when I see them.
First... Will it meet my needs?
Kajabi supports the five essential core business functions that every professional service provider business needs online that I have discussed in Power Up Your Online Expert Business.
Kajabi enables you to build the following online business capabilities:
- Websites
- Lead Generators & Sales Funnels
- Content Marketing Email Newsletters/Blogs/Video Blogs/Podcasts
- Live & Recorded Workshops/Masterclasses/Webinars
- Live & Recorded Online Courses
- Live Private & Group Coaching Programs
- Private Online Communities that include Live community events
- Mobile Apps
Second... Is it a reliable, trustworthy platform?
- Kajabi is a robust, well-tested, high quality, and high availability software platform.
- Kajabi offers high quality, responsive, user support.
- Kajabi is a solid professional software company with about 350 employees, has been in business since 2010.
- Kajabi is used by leading online entrepreneurs like Brendon Burchard, Amy Porterfield and others.
- The Kajabi customer base exceeds 100,000 businesses in 140 countries and estimated recurring revenue exceeding $100 million annually.
- Kajabi hosts over 300,000 digital products serving 85 million end-users.
- Kajabi does NOT take a percentage of your sales revenues.
Third ... Is it easy to use? Can I use it successfully in my business?
Having used many of the leading online business platforms, and as someone who has taught clients to use Kajabi for over 7 years, in my opinion...Kajabi is easiest platform to learn how to use.
If you want to read more about how to use Kajabi to support your expert online business, you can download my ebook - Kajabi Made Simple.
In this eBook I give you a step-by-step approach for building your online business in a series of small, manageable implementation projects called "sprints."
These sprints are designed to support specific business functions that enable you to successively build your client relationships over time using Kajabi.
This incremental approach to building your online systems dramatically reduces your frustration by providing a structured way to build your systems over time without being overwhelmed by system complexity.
If you want to explore whether Kajabi is right for you and your business,
Let's have a free, no obligation 30-minute conversation about that.
STEP 3 - SPRINT TO SUCCESS!
Building an entire online system to support your entire customer journey of free and purchased offers can feel overwhelming and complicated.
At the same time, you're learning how to use an online platform like Kajabi, so it can get confusing!
The way software professionals manage building complex integrated systems is to break them down into smaller, more manageable projects, which are called "sprints." That is what the Kajabi Made Simple approach does.
Think of the sprints as an assembly of Lego parts, and then you plug them together to create your full overall system.
The color coding in the "Kajabi Made Simple - Customer Journey" diagram above corresponds to a specific set of sprints you can use to build your online business.

I can support you in building your online system in several ways - through LIVE Support, private coaching/consulting, implemented sprint frameworks (you complete the content), and collaborative fully implemented sprint projects.
