Simple Growth Hacks to increase the Productivity of your Day

By simple Growth Hacks I mean utilizing your Time effectively and maximizing the spare time to gain maximum Possible Value of your Time.

I started implementing few Growth Hacks in my Life and YES I started seeing some glorious changes in my Life.

Here I will only mention the ones which I follow:

Growth Hack #1

To Do List – Whenever you wake up make a list of all the Tasks which you want to finish that day. This way you will never miss or forget something really important and it will always remain in front of you which means that you are always reminded to complete the task.

Remember the Rule – The ones you write down are the ones which gets completed for sure.

Growth Hack #2

3-5 Minutes Management – From your ‘To Do List’ figure out the ones which will take just 3-5 minutes of your time and then complete them immediately before doing any other activity to start your day.
(There will be hardly 1 or 2 such tasks every day)

Remember the Rule – 3-5 Minute tasks are the ones for which we procrastinate the most and they are always kept pending. Finishing them early will mean you will complete approx. 10-40% tasks present in your ‘To Do List’ for the Day.

Growth Hack #3

Priority to the Most Important Tasks – By most important tasks I mean the ones which are essential/ backbone of your Work.

Whenever you are doing the Most Important Tasks of your Day, give them your complete attention.

I figured out that this can be done when you will shut down all your social channels like Facebook, Whatsapp while doing such tasks.

Growth Hack #4

Utilize your Spare Time – You get spare time at least 5-10 Times in a Day. The spare time is the time when you have got absolutely nothing to do. It can range from 5 minutes to around 30 mins at a time.

Utilize this time to do something Productive. You can put out some content in the form of Blog Post or article in an open website like Medium or may be a Podcast or a Video.

Or you can simply read a Book. I prefer Listening the Book. I use Audible for that. (Currently I am in mid of listening #AskGaryVee)

Growth Hack #5

Income Producing Activities – Make it a Point that you will do an Income Producing activity every day.

There are many tasks that are done to build Long Term Reputation, but Cash is the Oxygen of your Business. Do tasks that directly leads to produce Income in the Present.

Remember the Rule – Cash is the Oxygen of your Business. If you run out of Oxygen, you will lose the Steam.

Growth Hack #6

Speak to the Mirror – Having a Good Communication will definitely improve your Business whether Directly or Indirectly.

Go in front of Mirror and practice your communication in your Business Language (may be for just 5 minutes in a Day, but do it Daily).

You will see Massive Improvement.

P.S – I am an active Toastmaster and that really helps.

Remember the Rule – You need to speak well to effectively sell yourself.

Growth Hack #7

Dark Horses of your Business – I searched all the Income streams of my overall revenue and in my search I looked for those income streams of mine in which I was not able to put enough attention but they were giving me consistent returns.

These are the income streams you really need to work upon. These are your Dark Horses. Make some little tweaks in them and put little bit more one time effort and watch them grow.

P.S – I saw 150% growth in my overall revenue when I did this. Try it 🙂

Growth Hack #8

3, 2, 1 Rule – I learnt this rule from a Leadership course I attended in in Singapore last month.

The rule states to write down 3, 2 and 1 thing daily from your experiences of the Day.

• What are the 3 Learnings/ Life Lessons you learned today?
• 2 things that you will start doing differently?
• What is the 1 thing that you will implement in your Life right away?

By doing this you will improve every day. After some time you will be able to Kill some major Negatives from your Life.

These 3 Rules are really deep if you follow them religiously.

P.S – There are days when I am able to write just 1 thing in the 2nd category or may be just 2 things in the 1st category. But, again the point is to write the genuine ones, not just write for the sake of it.

I generally do this when I am going to Sleep and I write it in the Notes of my Phone.

(Yes I miss doing this on few days)

Growth Hack #9

Personal Health Growth – Find time to work out on your Personal health. Good health means that you are better able to enjoy your Work and your Life.

Meditation is also an option.

Remember the Rule – A Sound Mind stays inside a Healthy Body.

P.S – This is one thing which I am very irregular at. Though whenever I find opportunity to Play Cricket or Football, I never miss it. I play Football on every Weekend.

Growth Hack #10

Use your Sub-Conscious Mind – Now you might find this one strange but I have found the solution to some of my most difficult problems when I slept thinking about them, by morning I knew exactly what I have to do to solve the particular problem.

This does not work every time. But trust me it has helped me in solving some real critical problems.

Growth Hack #11

Patience – Take your time in responding to queries which you find are not easy to respond in the moment. You may take a wrong decision/ make a wrong statement when you are in hurry.

Take your time and respond well 🙂

Ahhh.. This was one long very good article (Sometimes I praise myself 😀 )

I know after implementing all/ some of them in your Life you will definitely multiply your Productivity and hence you will reach your Life Goals faster.

Remember the Rule – The key lies in execution not just theory. So pick out your favourite Growth Hacks from above and start implementing them.

Customer Value Journey  Stages

“Turn your strangers (New Follower) into your Super Fans (Buyers)”

Let me take you on the journey of how you can transfer your strangers to your customer and later on your rapid buyers and raving fans.

So, Firstly let me take you to the introduction section of Customer Value Journey.

I want you to have a proper funnel in place so that it keeps on giving you returns and profits over and over and over again.

Funnel For Your Business

let me take an exam of Russell’s Bansal book:  To be rich all you need is 1000 CULT fans of you’re all over the world who listen to you and they are so much crazy for that they buy from you whatever you have to offer.

In the very first meeting with the person you like (whom I am supposing to be a cold prospect), he/she doesn’t even know about you.  You are going to set up a reppo with the person in a very first meeting so that you leave a good impression. And this is the starting of that stage where the end goal is conversion.

Now consider this with regards to your Facebook Ads

The very first impression that you will leave in front of your prospect – in front of your the cold people is to give them some value which increases their trust on you. Thats the first interaction.

You are somebody who are into love with someone and now you want to ask someone for marriage ( now this ultimate conversion )

What is customer value journey?

Customer Value journey is basically a Customer Engagement Cycle. The customer has to go through few stages before making any CALL TO  ACTION.

It is a process or you can say stages through which your customer went through before taking his/her call to action.

Some of you might not know the meaning of CALL TO ACTION. You had heard this word in so many places, especially on social media business pages.

Okay! Let me explain to you what is called to action means?

It means taking your final decision. For example, if you want to buy some book or software. Making your mindset to buy that thing is called call to action.

When you have decided to buy that book or software and then making your payment is known as a call to action.

I hope you get the meaning of Call to Action.

Now you’re no longer unknown to this word.

Let’s come back to the Customer Value Journey Process.

It’s a journey that a customer goes through your business from awareness about your product or business to your promoters to get to know more about your business.

It’s a cycle of your marketing journey, how you can attract your customer attention toward your business.

Customer Engagement Role:

Customer engagement is one of the most important factors because whatever you put on your business pages, you observe the product value by your customer’s reaction/audience action/engagement/likes/call to action etc.

If you’re not getting any interest or engagement from your audience/fans/followers/customers then you automatically generate a believe that there is something went wrong with your ads or your posts.

So customer engagement is important for every marketer.

Now, let’s talk about the stages of Customer Value Journey

There are 8 stages in which the customer goes through before making any call to action.

AWARE:

The first stage customer value journey is AWARENESS. Awareness about your business/product is very important.

This stage is making someone (customer) getting aware about your business or product that your company exists in the market.

It means an introduction to your business.

You can make them aware through a different medium example:

• Blog Post
• Videos
• Infographic
• Website

It could be anything.  In this stage, you are telling them about your business or services or your product.

This is how you can make them aware of your business/product and services.

Now come down to the second stage i.e. ENGAGE.

ENGAGE:  

The second stage of customer value journey is ENGAGE. In this stage, you’re grabbing your customer attention through educating or entertaining them by the way of your content.

How customer get interacted with you:

• Reading your blog article.
• Becoming your follower on your social media platform.
• Visiting your website.
• Liked and watched your YouTube channel.
• Participating in your conducted webinar to clarify their doubts and queries.
• Personal mail interaction.
• Giving feedback.

It could be anything. These things count as an engagement which means a lot because customer engagement is very important for your business or product and also you’ll get to know about their taste and preferences.

Make them feel like they are your valuable customer and build a trust. Have a real conversation with your customer.

Now you understand how engagement is important to your brand/business.

Now that you have customer’s attention, you want them to subscribe to your channel in order to let them hear more about your brand’s goods and/or services so that you can eventually convert them into regular customers in the next step.

I am sure you got the hint about our third stage by this statement.

If not, OKAY

Don’t Worry!

Let me explain this statement in more detail in the third step i.e. the third stage SUBSCRIBE.

SUBSCRIBE:

The third stage of customer value journey is SUBSCRIBE.

Your customer takes a FOLLOW UP action.

It means they started following you so that they can get to know more about your offers, product, services, business etc.

They get monthly or weekly or daily newsfeed /information about your upcoming event or currently running offers or it could be anything.

Subscribe means following so that they get a notification about anything related to your business.

• They can subscribe you to your website to get newsletter update.
• Started following you on your social media platform.
• Subscribed your YouTube channel to get the notification about upcoming videos or tutorials.

Hope you understood the role of Subscribe in customer value journey.

The goal is to enhance the trust.

Let’s jump into the fourth stage i.e. CONVERT.

CONVERT:

The fourth stage of customer value journey is CONVERT.

Do you know what covert means is?

Convert means making any small purchase or a commitment.

In this stage customer showing a commitment that they are interested in your product and services.

Basically convert is related to money but in this scenario here the convert means customer commitment either on the bases of a small amount of purchase or by scheduling a demo or webinar. It could be anything.

Its depend on their choice.

Both conditions come under the convert stage.

Whether they are participating in your webinar or buying something in terms of money.

Our goal is to sell a mini product. This is ACTUALLY the real start of business relationship between you and your prospect.

Once you have generated the amount of trust for the first date now you are upto the level that good things can happen in future.

In terms of business: In this step customer paying you money and you giving huge value in exchange.

Your customer feels safe about giving you money even in future.

Now come to the fifth stage i.e. EXCITE.

EXCITE:

The fifth stage of customer value journey is EXCITE.

Excite means a customer is happy with your product and service.

They liked your product and services. What they paid for the product is actually worth it.

It means matching up the customer expectations.

The product value is not about spending money and time but actually enjoying and liking your product and services.

Well, in that case, Quality matters a lot to convert your new customer (stranger) into your valuable customer (rapid buyers).

The sixth stage is ASCEND.

ASCEND:

The sixth stage of customer value journey is ASCEND.

Business End of the Spectrum.

What is ASCEND means?

Well if you are looking for the mean let me tell you it means “Going Toward or Upward or Moving Ahead”

But

In customer value journey it means Buying/Purchasing/Dealing anything in terms of money.

So, don’t get confused and read these lines carefully. You’ll get the point what actually it does!

If you relate this to the actual meaning of Ascend. It sounds similar because the customer is taking a step further.

They are moving ahead as they went through the 5 stages before they have reached this stage i.e. sixth stage.

Let me continue the topic…

So, In ASCEND stages the customer making their first purchase.

This is the stage when the customer takes a call to action. They make a purchase in your offer.

The seventh stage is ADVOCATE.

ADVOCATE:

The seventh stage of customer value journey is ADVOCATE.

It means when the customer giving a testimonial (Feedback, Reviews) about your product or services.

Expressing their experience through some kind of positive review and remarks.

It’s very important to know about customer experience whether they liked your product or not.

It will generate a positive relationship between your customer and your business.

Testimonials are equally important to run a successful business so that other people should know about your product quality and the positive reviews about your business.

And the last stage i.e. PROMOTE.

PROMOTE:

The eighth stage of customer value journey is PROMOTE.

Promote is spreading awareness about your brand in a friend circle.

It’s one person to another.  Sharing your experience with your friends and family so that they can also visit your website.

Promotion is required at every stage of customer value journey because without promotion you will not able to connect with your new customer as they don’t know or even heard about your brand or business.

Promotion and Awareness both are important to build a brand or online business.

By following the above Customer Value Journey sequence stages you can make your strangers into your rapid buyers and raving fans.

Use the above strategies to seamlessly move your customers through your Customer Value Journey.

Hope this article wills worth for generating your customer value journey.

How we can push our customer from AWARE stage to PROMOTE stage. I am sure this will definitely help you in generating more traffic and convert.
