Direct Marketing Eight Breakthroughs
No B.S. Direct Marketing: Craig Proctor's 8 Breakthroughs
The Framework
Craig Proctor's strategies for building a direct marketing business that compounds.
The 8 Breakthroughs
Breakthrough 1: Big Promise
Make a BIG, specific promise that others can't make. Something that if achieved, changes their life.
Breakthrough 2: Simple Process
Create a simple, repeatable process anyone can follow. Complexity = failure.
Breakthrough 3: Lead Generation Machine
Build an always-on lead generation system. Not campaigns — systems.
Breakthrough 4: High-Value Front End
Give massive value upfront. Shock them with what they get before asking for anything.
Breakthrough 5: Backend Ascension
Have a clear path for customers to buy more. Don't leave money on the table.
Breakthrough 6: Retention Systems
Keep customers buying repeatedly. Cost to retain << cost to acquire.
Breakthrough 7: Referral Engine
Create systematic ways for customers to refer others. Incentivize word of mouth.
Breakthrough 8: Compounding Growth
Each sale should fund the acquisition of the next sale. Reinvest profits.
