Hey there, David Hawke here from Chattanooga Local, and today I’m thrilled to share with you the secret sauce behind every thriving business’s rapid growth.

I call it the “Local Business Leverage System,” and it’s not just a concept—I’ve encapsulated it in a book. You can snag a free copy at ChattanoogaLocal.com/growth.

But before you rush to grab it, let me give you a sneak peek into the four indispensable systems that fuel growth and leave the competition in the dust.

1. Reputation: The Foundation of Success

Picture a pyramid, with the foundation being the most critical element. In this system, it all starts with reputation.

A staggering 95% of people turn to online research after encountering a business through ads or other means.

Your reputation is your first impression, extending beyond reviews to encompass your website’s user-friendliness, accessibility, and response time across various channels.

A solid reputation is not just beneficial; it’s imperative. Without it, expanding your business might be doing more harm than good.

2. Resell: Nurturing Repeat Business

The second tier in our growth pyramid is reselling. Successful businesses understand the goldmine that exists within their existing customer base. It’s about driving repeat business systematically.

Think about those emails you receive after making a purchase online—businesses are strategically reselling to you. Why? Because customers who have already bought from you are more likely to return, cost less to bring back, and tend to spend more. This step is not just important; it’s a game-changer.

3. Reach: Expanding Your Horizon

Now, let’s talk about reach, the point where many businesses typically start. While reaching new audiences is crucial, it’s equally essential to ensure your reputation is solid before casting a wide net.

Traditional advertising often breaks even at best, and the pitfalls of platforms like Groupon demonstrate the need for strategic planning.

However, with a robust resell system in place, reaching out becomes more effective and less costly. One success story involves a Hixson-based customer, whose business thrived through a well-executed email reselling strategy.

4. Retargeting: Staying Top of Mind

Last but certainly not least is retargeting. People rarely make immediate purchases; it takes multiple exposures to your business. In the digital age, staying in front of potential customers is easier than ever.

By employing retargeting strategies, you can consistently engage with individuals who have shown interest in your offerings.

This keeps your brand at the forefront of their minds, making the seven to twelve touchpoints required for a purchase more attainable.

Plus, retargeting allows for cost-effective and highly targeted advertising, creating a win-win situation.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, these are the four pillars of the Local Business Leverage System, the blueprint for sustainable business growth.
