About the Tools, Training and Resources

Our current roadmap includes the creation of two completely new, comprehensive courses, focused on the two “tracks” involved in implementing the 7 Levers in your business: Profit Foundations and Profit Growth.

We will also be updating the existing 6Cs Mini-Course to include the new tools and resources we are producing.

Below are the current plans for the courses and resources we are currently working on (this is subject to change, based on your input as a member of the ALPHA Program).

The 6Cs Mini-Course

The 6Cs are an easy to remember checklist of steps - first introduced in the book Cadence - to guide the implementation of the 7 Levers Framework in your business.

The 6Cs mini-course steps you through each C - Clarify, Capture, Calculate, Correct, Create and Cycle - and also introduces all of the core concepts of the 7 Levers Framework.

At the end of the Mini-Course, you will have a solid foundation in the core 7 Levers concepts, terminology, tools and techniques, and be ready to fast-track the implementation of the 7 Levers Framework in your business.

Course - Profit Foundations

Do you feel like you’ve got control of your business and you’re ready to grow?

Very often, what's stopping us from growing our business is a feeling that we haven't quite got control of everything, and so we're not ready for growth.

Whether you feel like you need to regain control of your business, or you just want to see how well it is performing in the context of the 7 Levers, the Health Check will walk you through the process of identifying and assessing the 7 Key Profit Drivers in your business, so that you can create a solid foundation for growth.

The first steps in implementing the 7 Levers Framework in your business are:

  • Clarify what each Lever means in your business
  • Capture what you are currently doing to influence each Lever
  • Calculate how you are currently performing in each Lever

The Profit Foundations course takes you step-by-step through each of these processes in detail, with a view to performing a detailed Health Check on your business. This process will focus you (and your team) on each Lever in turn, and will develop your awareness of the operations and performance in each of these important areas of your business.

In addition, you are guided through the next step of the process - to Correct any issues you might have identified in the first 3 steps and "plug the holes" that you find. By fixing some of these issues, you may achieve some profitable “easy wins”.

At the end of this course, you will have produced a comprehensive Health Check report that highlights the 7 Key Profit Drivers in your business, and how each of them is performing. You will also have gained valuable insight into the operations of your business, and identified any potential issues affecting your profits that you may have overlooked.

By completing the Profit Foundations course you will have prepared yourself, your team and your business for achievable and sustainable Profit Growth.

Course - Profit Growth

Once you have a solid foundation and a clear understanding of what the 7 Levers are in your business and what your current measurements for them are, then you can start the exciting work of growing your business and your profits sustainably.

The Profit Growth course introduces you to the powerful concept of 10% Wins - small, easily achievable improvements that compound across the 7 Levers to potentially double your profits without requiring huge effort or lots of resources. You will be guided step-by-step through Creating and implementing 10% Win ideas for each of the 7 Levers, with examples and case studies from many different industries to inspire you.

The course also covers the final step of implementing the 7 Levers Framework - Cycling back. This is a crucial step in creating sustainable Profit Growth, where you will be learn how to review your 10% Wins implementation to ensure they are all performing as expected (and perhaps Correct any issues), before Creating new ideas and implementing them for another round of 10% Wins and Profit Growth.

At the end of the course, you will have everything you need to Create and implement achievable 10% Win ideas that will compound across the 7 Levers of your business to provide sustainable Profit Growth without requiring huge effort or lots of resources.

Resources

In addition to the comprehensive courses above, we will also be producing a wide range of new tools and resources to support your implementation of the 7 Levers Framework. This will include Quick Start Guides, Checklists and Worksheets for you to download and use yourself or distribute to your team.

Some examples of these resources include:

  • The 7 Levers Canvas
  • The Delta Canvas
  • Health Check Quick Start Guide
  • Profit Growth Quick Start Guide
  • Checklist: What Makes a Good 10% Win Idea (TKRs)
  • Checklist: What Makes a Good Delta
  • Checklist: When to Correct and When to Create (4Bs)
  • Graphic: The 6Cs Cycle

About the 7 Levers Framework

"The 7 Levers Framework is a set of Tools, Training and Resources to help you grow your business and your profits sustainably, without requiring huge effort or lots of resources."

A lot of business and marketing advice tells you to focus on improving one or two areas of your business. For example, driving more traffic, increasing your conversions, or improving your margins.

But if you only focus on one or two areas of your business, this can be limiting. Firstly, those areas that you are not paying attention to will suffer from that lack of attention. Secondly, achieving “big wins” effectively and sustainably in one or two areas is often difficult, taking up a lot of time, effort and resources. This means that it is not always a good practice when you want to achieve true Profit Growth.

The core principles of the 7 levers Framework are designed specifically to address these issues. They are:

  • The 7 Levers
  • 10% Wins

The 7 Levers of Business

There are 7 Key Areas that drive profit in any business. These are:

  • Suspects
  • Prospects
  • Conversions
  • Average Item Price
  • Average Items Per Sale
  • Transactions Per Customer
  • Margins

By identifying these areas in your business, focusing on each of them equally, and applying small, achievable improvements across all 7, you will create an environment for sustainable Profit Growth.

10% Wins

Instead of “going all out” or “swinging for the fences” and trying to “double your traffic” or “cut your costs in half”, it is obviously easier to aim smaller and try less. But that doesn’t mean that your results need to be any less impressive.

By applying the principle of compounding, and achieving small, incremental gains of just 10% across each of the 7 Levers means that your net result will be a profit increase of almost double.

Also, by their nature, 10% Wins are easier to achieve with less time, effort and resources, and they are also more sustainable, so the Profit Growth you achieve will be sustainable too.

 

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the program start and finish?
The program starts as soon as we reach a minimum number of members (people have already enrolled and we are already publishing content, so read that as "soon"!), and runs until we launch the first full course early next year (we expect Quarter 1 2019). If we launch another program to cover more courses, Alpha Members will be given priority when we offer spaces on any new programs.
How long do I have access to the course materials afterwards?
How does lifetime access sound? After we release the full courses, you will have unlimited access all finalised materials for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. We might choose to take out the development materials inside the ALPHA Program itself, but the full, published courses will remain available to you.
What if I am unhappy with the program?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund. No questions asked.
How often will you be updating the content?
Dom has developed all of the core material for the Foundation course already, and the next phase is to review and revise that material (with your feedback) before moving on to the Growth course. In general, as soon as we create a new piece of training content, Dom will post it in the ALPHA Program. You can either check in regularly to see what's new, or wait for the update emails that highlight new content.
How much feedback am I expected to give?
Any input you can make would be greatly appreciated. But don't feel like you have to respond immediately to every request for feedback. We do want everyone to take part at some level, though. So be prepared to be prompted from time to time if you've been quiet for a while.
Can I ask my own questions and make suggestions?
Of course! Everyone in the program will be encouraged to speak up and to contribute in whatever way they can - all suggestions and input is welcome. Just remember that the idea here is that you get something out of the experience too, so feel free to reach out any time something occurs to you. Especially if it's a question bout how the material applies to your particular business.
What if I have a question about the program right now?
Go ahead and drop us a line at [email protected] - we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
If there is an Alpha, does that mean there will be a Beta?
Yes, as soon as the materials are in a more complete state, then we will be looking for people to join a Beta program to look at them. But we expect that is a couple of months or more away, and we will be charging more to join the program at that point, because the materials will be more complete. By joining now, you lock in your incredibly low investment, and get access to everything much sooner.
Will Pete be involved with the course development?
Pete will be intimately involved in the development of every piece of course content. His direct involvement with the ALPHA program members will depend on his "real world" commitments (his businesses and his professorship at Deakin University). But he will be dropping in as much as he can, and providing feedback and answers to questions where needed.
I don't get it! How does this ALPHA thing work?
Good question! The ALPHA Program is run inside a private Learning Management platform, which you will get access to when you join. This allows us to release new content (video, audio, PDFs) as "lessons" that you can look at, work through, and provide feedback on via the Learning Management platform. It also allows us to ask general questions and get your responses. You will mostly be interacting with us in this way, but we may run group calls and Webinars from time to time, and we may schedule some one-on-one calls with individuals, if needed. Also, you will have direct access to Dom via a specific email address for any pressing questions.
Are spaces really limited, or are you just saying that?
Yes! Spaces really are limited. When you join the program, not only are you getting access to the latest materials and training months before anyone else will see them, but I'm also going to be on hand to guide you through implementing it in your business if you need our help. To be able to do that, we have to limit the number of people we allow into the program, so that we have enough time available to help anyone that needs it.
What happens when the ALPHA Program ends?
First, we'll probably have a celebration, because we'll have produced some truly awesome training materials together! Then you'll get access to the full version of all the courses and tools you helped to develop. After that, we'll close and archive the ALPHA program. If we launch another program to cover more courses, ALPHA Members will be given priority when we offer spaces on any new programs.
Is this a subscription or a one-time fee?
Access to the Alpha program and everything we create inside it is available for a low, one-time fee. Later, the prices will go up significantly, and we may even introduce a subscription model. So act now and take advantage of this great deal.
Why such a low fee for all this content?
We genuinely want to create the best courses and resources that we can, and getting your feedback is the best way to do that. So it makes sense to offer access for a ridiculously low amount at this early stage, to encourage people to join the Alpha program (but we have to charge something so we know you're taking things seriously!) Also, it's always been our policy to reward early adopters, fast movers and action-takers.
