I truly believe you (yes, YOU!) can literally DOUBLE YOUR SALES - IF you get serious.
What Does It Cost?
-
On Audible, it is FREE if you're new.
-
On iTunes, it costs $17.99.

​
With over eight hours of "red meat" choc-full of actionable steps you can take today to increase sales (not kidding, quite literally, actually happening TODAY you can increase your sales by at least 10%), ask yourself, "What on Earth could possibly stop you from listening to this audiobook?"
"I'm in chapter three, about 5 hours left in the book, and the section on how the service should go is incredible. I'm loving the details of each course, and the dive into what the best restaurants and service staff should look like to our customers. Thrilled with the book so far."

Sales Pillar #1
Raise Prices
​
The first thing I want you to do is raise your prices by at least 10% today.
This will instantly give you extra cash that you can use to stay alive.
It's time to STOP giving stuff away!
Low prices and discount are the tax you pay
for being mediocre.
Don't be scared, just do it.
Your good customers don't need a discount.
They NEED is great FOOD, great DRINKS, and great SERVICE.
AND - a place to call "Their Place."
Sales Pillar #2
Keep The Customers You Have
​
We do this by "Delivering the Customer Promise."
This means "Be yourself and do your job 100%". Give the customer exactly what you promised them. Your product must be aimed at your target audience and delivered to them in a consistently excellent way, each and every time they visit.
​
Keeping the customers you have is about delivering first-class hospitality, creating customer advocates and raving fans.
​
​
Sales Pillar #3
Increase The Average Check
​
The sales “ground game" is what happens inside your restaurant AT THE TABLE. I'm going to teach you and your people how to create "GOLDEN TICKETS" AND get every four top to spend like a five top. I will also introduce you to the "Ahh Moment" where the magic really happens.
​
This information is so simple and obvious, it will literally make you cry when I show you how much money you are leaving on the table.
​
​
​
Sales Pillar #4
Increase Customer Visits
​
We are in the "relationship business" the goal is to build long-term relationships with our customers.
I'm going to show you how to blow the mind of your first-time customers. Then, I will show you how to turn them into an army of raving fans and customer advocates who return - and bring their friends with them.
You will learn how to use "permission marketing" to fire up and energize your restaurant club and keep them coming back over and over again
for years and years.
​
Imagine what will happen to your sales when you get 33% of your customers to come back one extra time each year, from now on.
​
​
Sales Pillar #5
Bring In New Customers
​
This pillar is about Marketing & Advertising. The goal of advertising and marketing is to make the customer WANT & DESIRE what we are selling. It's simple, really simple. But, if we miss this step, the customer will not come to our restaurant, and we will go out of business.
First we sow, then we reap. If we don't advertise first, we cannot reap the benefit of customers spending money in our restaurant.
​
In addition to paid advertising, we will also talk about the best way to bring in new customers, which is by "positive word of mouth" from our raving fans and customer advocates.
​
​
​
Sales Pillar #6
86 The Wrong Customer
​
Most restaurant owners wear themselves out by trying to please the WRONG customer. This pillar is about attracting and serving the RIGHT customer. The objective is to sell our goods and services to our target audience. The people you had in mind when you created your restaurant. The people who understand and appreciate your "core concept."
​
I'll show you how to focus your marketing efforts on attracting your target customer, and stop wasting time on the people who do not appreciate
who you are or what you are doing.
