This is one of the most common gaps business owners face when they are struggling to increase profit. In today’s episode, we dive deep into an often-overlooked strategy for business profitability:  Monetizing every role in your company.  Many business owners fall into the trap of hiring without a profitability plan, leading to unnecessary financial strain. We’ll discuss how to ensure every role contributes to the bottom line, how to avoid the “see-saw effect” of back-end expenses outweighing front-end investment, and how to build a debt-free, scalable business.  If you’re ready to turn every hire into a profit center for your business, this episode is for you! Key Takeaways: Every role in your company should have a profitability plan. The "see-saw effect" of heavy back-end expenses with little front-end investment can lead to burnout and unsustainable business growth. Business owners should aim for a debt-free model to maintain financial freedom and control. Monetization isn’t just about sales – finance, operations, marketing, and client services all play a role in profitability. Your finance team is crucial in reducing lost revenue from missed payments, defaults, and renewals. Operations should streamline sales and marketing efforts, optimize vendor management, and cut non-essential expenses. Marketing must align with sales to generate quality leads and accelerate conversion. Sales is not just about new customers – referrals, renewals, reactivations, and upsells should be a primary focus. Client services should have a sales metric, as they naturally interact with customers and can drive significant revenue. Timestamps:  0:33 – The importance of monetizing every role in your business.  1:11 – Why every role is either contributing to profitability or detracting from it.  2:08 – The impact of rising business expenses and why strategic hiring is essential.  3:20 – Avoiding the “see-saw effect” of back-end expenses outweighing front-end investment.  4:49 – How to ensure your team members contribute to the bottom line.  6:05 – The difference between hiring profit-aware employees vs. non-profit-aware employees.  9:19 – The financial role: Capturing missed payments, renewals, and reducing revenue loss.  11:40 – The operations role: Supporting sales and marketing, optimizing vendors, and reducing costs.  13:18 – The marketing role: Expanding brand reach and ensuring quality leads.  13:58 – The sales role: Managing new sales, referrals, renewals, and upsells.  15:21 – The client services role: Why they should also have a sales metric.

Don’t you hate it when you’re having a promising sales conversation with a prospect who immediately ghosts you? It happens way too often; but today, you’re taking back the power.  In today’s episode of The Kelly Roach Show, we’re diving into pattern interrupts – simple but powerful strategies that can help you reactivate conversations with prospects who have gone silent. This episode will teach you why ideal buyers may stop responding (hint: it’s not personal), how to stay top of mind without being pushy, and which proven pattern interrupt messages can get prospects to re-engage.  If you’ve ever struggled with follow-ups during the sales process, this episode is packed with actionable strategies you can implement today.     Key Takeaways: Why ideal buyers go silent (and why it’s usually not about you!) How top-performing sales reps stay on a prospect’s radar without being annoying The psychology behind pattern interrupts and why they work Proven pattern interrupt messages you can use to reignite stalled conversations, including: Are you still interested in [desired result]? Hope everything is OK? I've been trying to reach you—I hope everything is OK? We’ve been connected forever, but we’ve never actually connected. Is this still a priority for you? I was just thinking of you. I had to share this [client success story/testimonial]. I am here to help when you are ready. Why most sales happen after the 8th+ follow-up (and why today’s sales cycle likely requires even more persistence) How to maintain a non-emotional, professional approach to follow-ups     Why This Matters: In today’s market, buyers are doing more research and engaging with brands later in their decision-making process. That means staying top of mind is critical. These pattern interrupts will help you stay in the game without feeling like you’re being pushy or desperate. If you’ve been moving from lead to lead without successfully converting past prospects, it’s time to refine your follow-up strategy. This episode will give you the tools to reconnect with potential clients and turn more of those stalled conversations into closed deals.
