How to Launch a Successful Group Program For Profitable Business Growth

Is the idea of starting a group program enticing to you? Helping multiple people simultaneously in less time than individual consultations, all while potentially boosting your profitability – it's hard to resist. It is a topic that has been buzzing around in my group program lately.

Many of you, my professional service providers clients, have been asking about whether to set up a group program within your business as a potential revenue stream and if it's a good time to add a group program to your overall business strategy.

You've come to the right place today because in the latest episode of The Master Your Business Podcast, I share 6 major lessons I learnt from my journey into the world of group programs. As a taster, here are the first 2 below. For the other 4, tune in now.

#1 Timing Is Everything.

In my case, I established my first group program just five months into my business. In hindsight, it was too soon. I now wish I had spent more time working one-on-one with clients for at least a year before venturing into group programs. Why, you ask? It's all about honing your skills, building a strong client base, knowing the type of client you want to work with and gaining the expertise needed to provide genuine value to the members of your group.

#2 The Devil's in the Details

Group programs can be more profitable, but here's the thing: there are many moving parts that may not be obvious right away. From managing regular communications and reminders to handling onboarding, offboarding, and subscription payments – the list goes on. It's not just about delivering content; it's about ensuring the logistics run smoothly.

Thankfully, there are specialised tools available for running group program sessions that will make your job a lot easier. These tools can streamline your operations, but they come with a price tag. If you're in the early stages of your business and watching your budget, platforms like Zoom and Google Drive can serve as cost-effective alternatives.
