One Thing: Day 697: Gillette. Gift. Blades.

Day 697: Gillette. Gift. Blades.

Yesterday I was explaining how I managed to turn a bad hockey penalty into a three game suspension as well how I skip all Tuesday Night Football games to get brownie points with my wife.

Speaking of unsuccessful brownie points, here’s a conversation between Dave and I.

Dangerous Dave: The cops came to my house last night.

Me: What did they say?

Dangerous Dave: They asked me where I was between 5 and 6.

Me: And what did you say?

Dangerous Dave: Kindergarten.

Anyhoo…

Your One PROFIT ACCELERATION THING Today Is:

“Give ’em the razor, sell ’em the blades”

When we were in Cancun for Business Coaching Mastery I explained how ‘High Ticket’ is usually hollow advice from rookies trying to sound smart and get you to buy their new thing.

Here is what I mean.

30 years ago Gillette used to send out complimentary shaving kits to men celebrating their 18th birthday.

Premise:  Get them using their brand via reciprocity (a free present at age 18), and they’ll never switch.

Let’s do some MATH:

90% ignore the promotion entirely and Gillette ‘wastes their money’ on them.

10% use Gillette and therefore need to buy Gillette blades.

That 10% of the 18 year olds, spend $50/yr on replacement blades for the next 20 years.

That’s an average return of $50 (10% * $50 * 20 yrs).

The gift costs $10 to send in the mail.

Gillette post two million a year.

$120M million revenue.

$80 million profit.

I gave multiple examples at BCM7 with the exact same framework.

Maybe your High Ticket Closer needs to go to business school before giving you hollow advice.

Maybe not.

You heard it here first.

Videos will start up again soon :o)

Now, pick up the phone and go help someone.
