Michelle Campbell Jeff Lerner Review

Meet Michelle Campbell. She came across ENTRE on Facebook and was fascinated by the idea of avoiding pitfalls and saving countless hours of trial and error while building her own business. She’s completed the training on affiliate marketing and digital agency, and she’s thoroughly enjoying the training so far. She’s now found a mission and a vision for her future. And she’s looking forward to opening her world to the endless possibilities in online business.

Welcome to another episode of Millionaire Secrets!


Today I’m joined by Josh York - Speaker, Podcast Host, Author of the best-selling book “Fuel Your Drive” and, last but not least, the founder, CEO, and brains behind the world’s FIRST EVER mobile personal training company, GymGuyz!


The company that brings workouts straight to your doorstep so that you don’t have to invest in expensive equipment or ever step foot in the gym.


It sounds so good, even I want to sign up!


So how did this idea come about?


Josh started off like most entrepreneurs, with just a dream, which slowly died every Monday morning as he and 90% of the population drove to work committing spiritual suicide.


AKA, he HATED his 9-5 life, and he wanted out, pronto.


So, he quit. To finally pursue his passion as a personal trainer.


But, you know how the story goes by now.


After quickly becoming a successful 6-figure personal trainer, Josh came to realize that being “just a personal trainer” was not a scalable business opportunity.


There are only so many hours in the day...


Which means there are only so many clients you can train in a day…


And unless you can cut yourself in half, or work yourself to the bone 24/7? You’re never going to make more than the working day permits in the fitness industry.


...Unless your Josh York!


Because thanks to his new spin on the personal training industry, Josh now makes millions as a personal trainer and business owner.


His business, GymGuyz, was recently featured on Inc. 500’s fastest-growing private companies, and he’s showing NO signs of slowing down!


So, how did Josh redefine personal training?


How did he start his very own SCALEABLE fitness empire? And more importantly, how can you follow in his footsteps?


Listen as Josh tells you how!

The Automatic Customer: Creating a Subscription Business in Any Industry Kindle Edition

by John Warrillow (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars

445 ratings


The lifeblood of your company is your repeat customers. However, customers aren't always reliable as markets change and competition is relentless. How do you ensure an ongoing stream of repeat business? The key to success, regardless of the industry you're in, is to find and keep automatized customers.

Today, virtually everything that you require is available by subscription, and with greater convenience than ever before. In addition to Spotify, Netflix, and New York Timessubscriptions You can join for either regular or weekly supplies of everything from food (AmazonFresh) as well as makeup (Birchbox) and razors (Dollar Shave Club).


As per John Warrillow, this emerging subscription economy is a huge opportunity to businesses that understand how to convert consumers into subscriber. Automated customers are most effective way to increase the flow of cash, spurring growth, and increasing profits for your business.


Take a look at Whatsapp, an online messaging service that was bought from Facebook in a deal worth $19 billion. While other platforms have a tendency to bombard users with advertisements to help fund an unpaid messaging service, Whatsapp offered a refreshingly private application with a subscription model, only costing 1 cent per month. Their business model allowed customers to get the service users wanted and guaranteed that they would have automatic customers for many decades to in the future.


As Warrillow illustrates subscriptions aren't restricted to media or technology companies. Businesses in almost every business, from start-ups through the Fortune 500, from home florists to contractors, can incorporate subscriptions into their businesses.


Warrillow provides the fundamental plan for gaining automatic customers by using one of nine subscription business models, such as:


* The Membership Website Model Businesses like The Wood Whisperer Guild, ContractorSelling and DanceStudioOwner provide access to highly skilled and top-quality content and recognize that customers are willing to pay for quality information. This model could work for any business that has the ability to define a niche market, and insider info.

* The Simplifier Model companies such as Mosquito Squad (pest control) and Hassle Free Homes (home maintenance) eliminate a routine task off your list of things to do. Every business that serves busy consumers can benefit from this model not just to create an income stream that is recurring, but also to make the most of the chance to cross-sell or bundle their products.

* The Surprise Box Model: Companies such as BarkBox (dog treats for dogs) as well as Standard Cocoa (craft chocolate) provide their customers with curated packs of goodies every month. If you're able to manage your shipping logistics, giving your customers delight by offering something new could lead into sales on your online store.


The book also teaches you how to master the art of selling subscriptions as well as how to decrease churn. It also provides guidelines for the most important statistics you require to evaluate the performance of your subscription company.


If you're looking to turn your business's entire operation to a repeating revenue machine or simply gain an additional 5 percent of the growth in sales, the Automatic Customer is your ultimate weapon.

Fabulous book! Both high level and detailed. John gets into the nuts and bolts of the math, but also the big picture and psychology of switching from a "sell and do" model to an "automatic customer" subscription model. Interestingly, about half of the book did not apply to my business but in spite of that fact, the examples gave me about a half a dozen ideas for subscriptions that I could offer in my business. A must read for any small business owner in any industry.

I’ve been running recurring revenue model (subscription) businesses for much of the last decade. Warrillow hits on not only the business ideas that could spark a new venture, up the key pros and cons. Probably even more valuable is the sections on churn and metrics calculation. I learned something new after a decade of doing this, and suspect most readers will as well.

A must-have book for business owners

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

If you've ever dreamed of starting a business or you already own one, this book is indispensable because it:


1) explains the financial and freedom rewards that come with subscription businesses;

2) provides a breakdown of the different types of subscription models and illustrates them with instructive and inspiring examples; and

3) gives us the playbook on how to market, manage and grow subscription businesses.


What sets this book apart is John Warrillow's credibility. He's done it. He successfully transformed a traditional business (sell the work/do the work) to a subscription model and then sold it. Combine this with his wealth of experience advising business owners and track record of authorship and you have the makings of a must-have book: The Automatic Customer. It has a wealth of practical and profitable ideas for business owners, whatever the existing business model.

This is a great idea. Years in legal publishing -- where publishers sell not only a book on some legal topic but also automatic annual case law updates for nearly as much as the original book -- followed by years selling business consumables by mail showed me the power of a business model based on subscription sales. Your best prospect for a new order is a current customer, and the best way to get that order is through automatic reorders. For a long time, this approach was the secret of a few businesses, like publishing, but now technology makes it available to many more. Warrillow explains how. If you can apply what he says to what you do, it will transform the economics of your business. "Until forbid" -- legalese for "Keep sending me this product every week/month/year until I explicitly say to stop" -- are magic words.

I've read a LOT of books about starting and growing a business and every now and then one crosses my path that stops me in my tracks and makes me re-assess what I'm doing.


In The Automatic Customer, John Warrillow spells out the benefits of, and more importantly, the path towards creating a subscription based business model. I've had 2 x subscription businesses for a few years now so some of this was just affirmation and research for me. However, when it came to measuring the success of the subscription business model, Warrillow crystallizes exactly what you should be measuring and the benchmarks to aim for. This was music to my ears.


He has clearly done his research (and references it for further reading - thank you) and distills the complexities of running a subscription based business into clear, actionable steps.


This book was recommended to me by one of my students and I am eternally grateful. Our Director's meetings have a new agenda with new metrics and a whole new conversation about our viability threshold.

These days, just about anything you need can be purchased through a subscription. And when you think about it, it actually makes buying easier. Before I read this book I didn't realize how many products and services I already subscribe to.


So in the book, John explains that you are now competing in the new subscription economy, and it's up to you to decide if you're playing defense or offense.


Warrillow explains that subscribers, or "automatic customers" are the key to increasing cash flow, igniting growth, and boosting the value of your company.


The book has three parts: The first part explains why subscribers are better than customers. Then he goes into the nine different subscription business models. Your business will fall into one of them. The last part of the book goes into detail on how to go about building your subscription business including all the math behind it.


If growing your business (and possibly selling it one day) is on your mind, you'll want to read this book.

Excellent book for small biz owners, especially if you rely on selling a service. Great ideas on how look at your business differently and build real value with longer term recurring revenue streams. While the author wrote this after writing Built to Sell, I'd recommend you read this first, then follow it up with Built to Sell.
