If you’re running a consulting business or a marketing agency, you know the fight for higher revenue never ends.But here's a nugget of truth: scaling doesn’t have to mean longer hours or a bigger team.
The golden ticket? Group Programs.
Here’s why they rock:
- More Value, Less Time: Group programs let you serve more clients without clocking extra hours. It’s about amplifying the value you deliver without spreading yourself too thin.
Since I moved from working 1-1 to group programs, I still spend the same hour of my time, but instead of talking to one client I talk to 5 or 10. - Community Building: Group programs aren’t just about learning from you. They’re a hotspot for peer interactions, where like-minded folks share experiences and grow together. You’re creating a thriving community, not just offering a service.
I know you might be thinking "my audience wouldn't want to work in a group setting" - I heard this so many times, yet we were able to transform tens of businesses from working 1-1 to working 1-many. Moving to a group setting might mean you need to change the way you deliver your service. But it also means you scale your business 5x faster than before. A benefit worth the hustle, if you ask me. - Leveraging Scalability: Once your group program is rolling, scaling becomes a breeze. The structure is there, just add more members to the mix. More members, more revenue, and your quality doesn’t take a hit.
Scaling a 1-1 consulting or marketing agency business means that you need to add more working hours and more staff to deliver the service. Not a case when you scale group consulting. Adding a 6th person to an already existing call and structure means you're adding $5000/mo (or whatever the fee is) in revenue without adding ANY additional work or staff. - Passive Income Potential: Record your sessions, build a resource library, and boom! Your group program evolves into a passive income source. You just created an evergreen, self-paced program that sells in your sleep. Today’s effort pays off tomorrow (and many tomorrows after.)
- Affordability Attracts: Group programs hit that sweet spot of value and affordability. Not every business can afford one-on-one consulting, but a group program? That’s a win-win for you and your clients.
If you play this right in your sales process, you will be able to down-sell your group program by anchoring your leads at a higher-cost 1-1 and bespoke work. If you pitch them $10k for you 1-1 service and then offer a $5k or $3k group consulting, it feels like a steal to them. It truly works like a charm
