Part 2: How Any Local Business Can Get 10 New Customers in the Next 7 Days

Now that we know how to build a 10/10 business model, how do we actually get customers? And how do we get them quickly?

In this second installment of Michelle’s four-part series on building a local business from the ground up, she lays out a practical framework for landing your first 10 customers. Her step-by-step layout is perfect for anyone who needs to know where to start building their local customer base. She challenges the over-preparation trap that keeps most business owners stuck in planning mode instead of actually generating revenue.

Michelle walks through four core steps to help you get started on finding customers and keeping them coming back. She also introduces her AVP formula as the foundation for every sales conversation and follow-up interaction. Whether you're in pre-launch or simply in a revenue slump, Michelle ends by giving a seven-day action plan you can activate immediately.
