STEPS 12 Month Growth Retainer
The most effective way to unlock the full power of the STEPS methodology, creating unstoppable business revenue growth, as you grow towards seven figure turnover and more. A 12 month retainer allowing each quarter to be focused on implementing a key element of the methodology.
The 5 Steps To Seven Figures
After 30 years of running and owning my own business, it is clear that there has never been a better time to grow a £1m business. In fact I would say that every business owner can achieve this goal and more. Modern business growth is planned and predictable.
Over the past 7 years setting up and running DME we have worked with hundreds of business to business clients and become obsessed with developing a step-by-step process, that when followed, allows B2B business owners to put in place the elements they need to grow and we called it the STEPS Growth Method.
The 12 Month STEPS Growth Retainer is all about building a system of processes, tools and metrics at the heart of your business while each quarter we partner with you to implement one of the four cornerstones of STEPS, ensuring they are embedded into your business to drive predictable revenue growth, year on year.

How Does The STEPS Growth Retainer Work?

Quarter 1 - Strategy
Your strategy drives your tactics. We will create a detailed growth strategy that is implemented, measured and optimised to ensure success, while aligning everyone in your business around revenue goals.

Quarter 2 - Traffic
Q2 is all about traffic and lead generation. Multiple campaigns will connect and engage a highly-targeted audience with insights and content that will attract them to your website and convert them into leads in your CRM.

Quarter 3 - Engagement
By Q3 you have increasing volumes of highly-targeted traffic to your website and will be converting it into leads. The focus is engagement and nurturing, moving each lead through a structured sales process to become a customer.

Quarter 4 - Promoters
Q4 is all about delighting your customers and turn them into promoters who will drive referrals, testimonials, case studies and reviews, while increasing revenue by creating cross-sell and upsell opportunities.

Systems - Set Up & Integration
You must systemise to optimise. The missing piece of the puzzle for most businesses we work with is the lack of a connected system of tools. processes and metrics. A great system at the heart of your business will act as a single source of truth from which you can measure everything and make data driven decisions. A system is also the secret behind scaling your business.
Over the 12 months we will help you set up, integrate and embrace the power of Hubspot. An all-in-one CRM, Marketing, Sales, Service and Operations Hub that will give you a powerful connected system of tools.
Our expert team will ensure that every member of your team is onboarded and using this system in the right way, to increase efficiency and the accuracy of the data you have at your fingertips. You will have complete clarity on what is working and what to focus your time on, as you grow towards seven-figures.
