核心要点
1. 赚钱模型:精心设计的报价顺序
赚钱模型是一系列有序的报价。
策略性排序。 赚钱模型不仅仅是拥有一个产品,更在于有意识地安排和呈现报价顺序,以最大化利润和客户获取。Alex Hormozi 从睡在健身房到净资产一亿美元的经历,充分说明了精心设计的报价序列如何将挣扎中的企业转变为现金机器。这是对客户旅程的深刻理解,并在每一步解决他们的问题。
超越单次销售。 许多企业失败的原因在于获取客户时亏损,期望通过长期回收成本。一个强健的赚钱模型确保你在客户的前30天内赚取足够利润,覆盖获客成本并继续获取更多客户。快速现金流推动激进增长,使企业能够在广告投入上超越竞争对手,主导市场。
四大核心类型。 赚钱模型由四种基本报价类型构成,每种在客户旅程中承担不同角色:
- 吸引报价: 将陌生人转化为初次客户。
- 追加报价: 提升客户的即时价值。
- 降级报价: 捕获最初拒绝客户的销售机会。
- 持续报价: 确保长期、持续的收入。
通过组合这些报价,企业能打造强大且自我维持的增长引擎。
2. 吸引报价:将陌生人转变为付费客户
吸引报价的目的就是将陌生人转化为客户。
初步接触。 吸引报价旨在抓住注意力,将潜在客户转化为首次购买者,理想情况下覆盖获客和初始交付成本。这类报价常利用“免费”或大幅折扣的力量,因为人们天生倾向于低成本获得高价值。目标是让客户进门,建立信任,展示价值。
策略性“免费”。 免费并非亏损,而是策略性地获取客户,使其愿意接受后续报价。示例包括:
- 赢回钱款: 先付款,达成目标后返还(如健身挑战)。
- 赠品活动: 抽大奖,其他人获得折扣“部分奖学金”。
- 诱饵报价: 宣传基础免费或廉价选项,再推更高价值的高级报价。
- 买X送Y: 重新包装价格,提供更多“免费”商品,提升感知价值。
- 先少付后多付: 提供免费试用,延迟付款,或即时付款享折扣。
现金流生成。 终极目标是从初期客户产生足够现金,支持更多广告投放,获取更多客户。这样形成良性增长循环,每次获客从一开始就是盈利,而非长期赌注。
3. 追加报价:最大化客户即时价值
追加报价即指我们接下来提供的任何产品或服务。
解决下一个问题。 客户完成首次购买后,往往会出现新的需求或问题。追加报价利用这种“超买周期”,提供针对这些紧迫需求的解决方案。经典例子是“要不要加点薯条?”——小小附加却显著提升利润。
利润放大。 追加报价对最大化30天利润至关重要,通常占据企业大部分收入。因为现有客户已建立信任,更易再次购买。有效追加报价包括:
- 更多相同产品: 增加数量或使用时长。
- 更优版本: 提供更高品质或高级功能。
- 新或互补产品: 相关配件或服务(如自行车配头盔)。
关键追加策略:
- 经典追加: 针对明显的下一个问题提供解决方案(如租车附加保险)。
- 菜单追加: 提供多种选项,通过“去除不需要”与“推荐所需”引导客户选择最佳方案。
- 锚定追加: 先展示高价高级选项,使主报价显得合理。
- 滚动追加: 将之前购买金额抵扣更贵的长期方案,令升级难以抗拒。
4. 降级报价:将“拒绝”转为有利“接受”
降级报价通过调整原始报价,找到最符合客户预算的高价值方案。
将拒绝转为机会。 客户说“不”并不代表对所有产品都不感兴趣,而是当前报价不合适。降级报价旨在灵活调整,提供更符合客户预算或需求的替代方案,将潜在流失转为盈利。
灵活解决方案。 降级通常涉及调整客户的支付方式或所获内容。目标是通过权衡取舍找到“匹配”——降低价格换取减少功能或改变付款结构,保持价值感,避免简单降价。
有效降级策略:
- 分期付款降级: 将总价拆分为更小、易承受的分期,通常与发薪周期匹配,解决“一次性支付过多”的顾虑。
- 带惩罚的试用: 提供免费试用,但设定条件,未达标需支付费用(如完成训练),激励参与和转化。
- 功能降级: 通过去除特定功能、减少数量或提供低质替代品降低价格,让客户按预算选择价值,有时还能促使他们在了解损失后自愿升级。
5. 持续报价:构建长期稳定收入
持续报价提供持续价值,客户持续付费,直至取消。
可持续增长。 持续报价是企业长期稳定的基石,带来可预测的经常性收入。虽然前期现金流不大,但极大提升客户终身价值。策略是先通过吸引、追加和降级报价确保初期现金流,再叠加持续报价,最大化长期利润。
激励持续购买。 成功的持续报价关键在于让客户持续购买。通过奖金、折扣和策略性费用实现:
- 持续奖金报价: 签约会员即赠送高价值一次性奖励(如免费产品、专属权限)。
- 持续折扣报价: 以免费期或折扣换取长期承诺(如“买12个月送3个月”)。
- 免除费用报价: 月付需支付较高启动费,承诺长期则免除(如一年期)。
策略性计费。 一个常被忽视的技巧是采用周付或双周付而非月付。每年有13个四周周期,而非12个月,能无额外工作提升8.3%年收入。此微调对利润率紧张的企业尤为重要。
6. 分阶段构建你的赚钱模型
我的赚钱模型之所以成功,是因为每个阶段都能为下一个阶段提供资金支持。
渐进式发展。 一套价值一亿美元的赚钱模型不是一蹴而就,而是通过有意识的阶段性演进,确保每步都盈利且可持续,才进入下一阶段。试图一开始就构建复杂完整模型,尤其对自筹资金的企业,往往导致失败。
三大成长阶段:
- 阶段一:获取现金。 重点是吸引报价,稳定获客并覆盖初期成本。目标是将陌生人转化为盈利客户。
- 阶段二:获取更多现金。 实施追加和降级报价,最大化客户前30天利润,确保现金流正向,支持进一步增长。
- 阶段三:获取最大现金。 引入持续报价,最大化客户长期价值,构建可预测的经常性收入。重点在于客户留存和终身价值提升。
迭代优化。 过程是逐一完善每个报价,使其稳定自动,再推进下一步。耐心且有节奏的做法确保财务和运营稳健,助力企业稳步扩张。关键是“做对”,而非“做快”后重建。
7. 利用定价与支付策略实现指数增长
采用周付(每周、每两周、每四周、每12周等),原因在此:一年有12个月,但有13个四周周期,差距达8.3%。
优化支付结构。 细微调整客户支付时间和方式,能极大提升收入和利润。除核心报价类型外,特定支付策略显著增强现金流并降低流失。
高效支付策略:
- 周付优势: 以四周为周期收费,一年13次而非12次,产品收入提升8.3%。
- 手续费加成: 加收3%手续费,直接增加利润,且不影响销售。
- 双重支付方式: 要求第二支付方式(尤其ACH),减少因卡片过期或余额不足导致的流失,保障经常性收入。
- 跷跷板降级: 通过较大首付换取更低月费,或提供灵活分期,激励客户支付更多。
策略性折扣。 折扣应作为特定行为的奖励(如预付、长期承诺),而非随意降价,维护价值感并引导客户行为。
8. 坚持透明与诚信经营
不要撒谎。长期来看你会吃亏。与信用卡债务不同,坏名声无法通过破产消除。一旦有了坏名声,将伴随终生。
长远声誉。 虽然本书强调激进赚钱策略,Alex Hormozi 始终强调必须诚信透明地运用这些策略。坏名声是永久负担,再多巧妙报价也难以弥补。
以客户为中心的伦理:
- 诚实广告: 明确陈述事实,避免虚假宣传,尤其是“免费”相关。
- 便捷退款: 客户要求退款时,毫无阻碍地退还。专注于获取下一个客户,而非纠缠单笔退款。
- 合法合规: 始终咨询法律顾问,确保报价符合当地及行业法规,因法律不断变化。
- 条款透明: 清晰说明所有条款、条件及潜在费用(如取消罚金、试用条件),避免客户不满。
积累口碑。 超额交付,给客户惊喜和额外价值,真诚解决问题,建立信任和忠诚。这不仅防止差评,还能将客户转化为拥护者,带来无价的口碑传播。
9. 解决问题是每个成功报价的核心
本质上,我们寻找每一个机会解决客户问题……然后提供解决方案。
客户至上思维。 所有赚钱模型和报价类型的根本原则,是持续聚焦识别并解决客户问题。无论是吸引、追加、降级还是持续报价,都必须满足客户真实需求或渴望。
问题-解决循环。 每个解决方案往往带来新的问题。客户买车(解决交通),接着需要保险(解决风险),再买油(解决燃料),还想延迟还车(解决便利)。成功的赚钱模型预见这些后续问题,及时提供解决方案。
价值创造。 你为客户解决的问题越多、越有效,创造的价值越大。价值提升为更高价格提供合理性,鼓励客户接受更多报价。深入理解客户旅程和痛点,设计自然且有益的报价序列,而非强推,确保企业不仅赚钱,更是真正服务客户。
