The 8 Profit Activators You Can Trigger in Your Business Right Now with Dean Jackson

Divide your business into three units — before, during, and after — and manage each as its own asset with its own metrics rather than as one blur.

Treat the relationships you have 'under management' like the asset they are; return on relationship — revenue per existing client — is where the real leverage lives.

Understand WHY people refer before you ask for referrals — most 'tell your friends' requests fail because they ignore how referrals actually happen inside a conversation.

Dunbar's ~150: every client sits inside a network of conversations; make them look like a hero and they'll naturally introduce you to the people they know.

Make sure your clients are 100% winning before you ever pitch them or ask for their business — earn the right first.

Multiply within the 'during' unit: every job carries the opportunity to add adjacent services, turning a $5,000 ticket into $10,000.

Reactivate old leads by scoring your database with a 'multiplier index' — on a 7–10 year replacement cycle, a predictable chunk of past customers need you again right now.
