Introduction
According to statistics, most small businesses today are service providers. They
may be financial advisors, lawyers, personal trainers, accountants, corporate
trainers, coaches, consultants, engineers or in similar occupations. Essentially
businesses like these sell time, not a product.
Steve Jobs stated, “Your work is going to fill
a large part of your life, and the only way to
be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is
great work. And the only way to do great
work is to love what you do.
” Loving what you do requires investing time
into your love to cultivate it.” Time is a finite
resource. We each only have so many hours
in a day to grow our business.”
” Loving what you
do requires
investing time into
your love to
cultivate it.”

More than 35% of entrepreneurs work 40 hours
per week. This includes weekends as 17.7% say
they work every weekend. About 31% of
entrepreneurs work 50 hours per week and
11.8% work 60 hours per week. Working more
extended hours means that some business
owners have to miss essential lifestyle events,
celebrations, and other experiences. About
37.9% say they missed a family or social
occasion at least a few times per year due to
work.
That means it is harder to scale a service
business where you sell your time. Typically,
you have to hire more employees or
outsource certain activities. Moreover, labor,
especially for knowledge workers, is
expensive.
With time being a top factor to consider when running a service-based business,
more than half (53.2%) of small business owners say they are uncertain about the
future of their business.
So, the question remains: How do you grow when you’ve started and run a
service business? To answer this question, you have to know your strengths.
Everyone has a strength (or multiple strengths) they can capitalize on, but many
believe they have to be the foremost in their field to be considered an “expert.”
Many who seek out knowledge or guidance are not other experts, but ordinary
people, looking to understand fundamentals. In this sense, we could all stand to
understand our expertise and find ways to package it into a signature system
that sells.

Having a signature system that you can package and offer to customers in
program form can be a real game changer for your business. Signature systems
are attractive to customers because they provide ready-made, easy-to-follow
solutions to their problems. However, don’t worry about having to find or invent
one to use. Base your system on your own experiences and success in a specific
area. You already know the process inside and out, so now you can explain it
clearly to someone else who wants to get the same results.
You can package up this expertise into a signature program and make it a
crucial part of your existing business, helping you develop a more unique and
memorable brand. Alternatively, it may lead you to develop a whole new
business or a lucrative sideline.
If you want to take a big leap forward with your business and boost your brand,
you want a system that you are known for and which provides you with the
potential for multiple income streams.
A signature system is a method for solving a problem your audience faces. It's a
method you've used in the past to solve this problem which you can teach to
others so they can achieve the same results.
This system can earn you income directly, but it can also be used for branding,
gaining exposure, building a marketing funnel, and setting up multiple streams
of income.
The biggest perk of your signature system is that anyone can do it. All you need
to do is figure out what you can teach and how you can teach it.
There are five critical steps to creating your unique signature system and putting
it into a program to teach your audience.
More than half (53.2%) of small business
owners say they are uncertain about the future
of their business.

Identify and Design Your System
Your signature system is something you've used in the past that's worked for you.
This could be:
▪ Building a list of 10,000 leads in a month
▪ Finding a health and fitness routine that fits into 30 minutes per day
▪ Decluttering your office in a day and keeping that way
▪ Clearing your mind of distractions and achieving greater productivity
▪ Writing and publishing a book every month for the next year
▪ Using Instagram to bring in new customers to your retail store
You may have seen systems like this offered by big-name online entrepreneurs
that guarantee you'll be making millions by this time next year.
However, everyone has a system they can teach. Signature systems are most
often offered by entrepreneurs, trainers, coaches, consultants, small business
owners, and service-based businesses. In reality, anyone can turn their
experience and knowledge into a teachable system.
Start by looking at some area of your business or your life where you've solved a
problem and seen results. Work backward to see how you did it. You should be
able to identify the specific steps you took. Is this something you can teach to
others so they can get similar results?
If it's hard to think of anything offhand, try asking others. Talk to people you've
helped, such as customers and clients. Ask them directly or see what they're
saying about you on social media. They can give you some ideas you haven’t
considered.
It's important to choose just one system to start with initially. Choose the best or
easiest to understand at first. Once your first program is up and running, you can
always create new systems in the future for more income and exposure.

It's likely that you have such a system, but you've never thought of it in this way
before. You'll need to go through each step and decide how you can teach
others how to do it. You'll also have to provide whatever resources or
background information others will need to know.
Next Steps:
▪ What is something you've learned how to do and have gotten positive
results? Can you turn this into a system you can teach others?
▪ Write out the steps you've used to get results with this system.

Define Your System's Uniqueness
The real value of your system is that it's unique. Others have similarly solved this
problem, but no one's system is quite the same as yours because you came up
with yours on your own.
Do you know what makes your process different from others? Discovering your
system's uniqueness is an important step, and it will be crucial in marketing a
program that teaches it.
One way to do this is to look at your competition. Search online and find similar
systems, and then see if you can glean what sets yours apart. Search relevant
keywords in Google and on Amazon, where many businesses sell programs such
as these.
Pay especially close attention to the benefits these products offer. Somewhere
in their marketing materials, they'll mention the specific benefits of their program.
You don't need to use the product to find these. Identify the unique benefits
your system offers that theirs don't. These are the unique benefits you can use in
your marketing.
Next Steps:
✓ Find similar systems that solve the same problem as yours.
✓ Look at the benefits each system offers and compare with your own to
discover your unique benefits.

Identify Target Markets for Your System
If you have a good system that gets results,
someone else can use it to get the same
results as you. The challenge here is to find
out exactly who those people are so you
can focus your marketing efforts on them.
You may already have an audience that
you market to. This market isn't necessarily
the right one for your new system. You may
need to reach out to a new audience, or
you may find that your system is right for a
particular segment of your market.
If your system is well suited to your current market, this will make it easier to sell.
Your existing customers already know and trust you. If you've been doing your
marketing well, they're ready to buy from you.
What if you have to look for other markets? This will involve some extra work on
your part, but it will expose you to a new audience. This potentially allows you to
start a whole new business.
The key to choosing a market is to consider pain points. You're looking for
people who are suffering from the problem your program solves.
Once you choose an audience, you may find yourself tailoring your system to
meet their specific needs. For example, you might have a system for building
high-engagement blogs that you've used for your marketing funnel in your
business. You might choose to tailor it to people who are just getting started with
their online business presence like you were when you set up your first blog.
As you start creating your system and researching your market, you might find
that these newbies struggle especially with using social media to help build a
blog readership. Because of this discovery, you might change your system to
tailor it specifically to growing blog traffic and engagement with social media.

Next Steps:
▪ Would your system benefit your current market or a subset of your current
market?
▪ Who is facing the problem your system solves?
▪ Identify the target market for your signature system.
▪ Could you change your system in any way to better serve your market?

Craft an Enticing Title
Naming your signature system is extremely important. It needs to be consistent
with your brand or the new brand you hope to create, and it needs to tell
people exactly what your system will do for them.
. Remember that this is what people will hear first, and they’ll decide whether
they check out your offer to learn more or not. The title needs to be exciting and
motivating. It should be as specific as possible, but also quick and snappy.
In addition to the title of your program, the title for each step is also essential.
When you tell people what's in your program, you can list these steps by title,
and this will further motivate people and tell them what benefits they can
expect.
Brainstorm several different titles and give each some consideration. Make a big
list and narrow it down. Ask other people to help you figure out which is the best.
Often, another person will have a different perspective as an outsider who didn't
create the system.
The title should be memorable and drive home
the benefits the customer will receive.
Next Steps:
▪ Create a list of titles that explain the benefits of your course.
▪ Narrow down your list until you have the best title.
▪ Create titles for the steps that you can use for marketing.

Package and Sell Your System
You might have an excellent system in place, but it's not going to generate
multiple streams of income unless you know how to package and sell it.
For this step, you'll turn your system into a teachable program. The system is what
you used to get success; the program is the container you put your system in so
that others can use it and get the same results.
Your first signature system should be a medium-priced product. It'll be in the
middle of your funnel, between lower-priced or free content (like short reports or
blog posts) and higher-priced items (like personal coaching).
A signature program can take any one of many different formats:
Study your target market and determine the best format for them to digest your
information (text, video, or webinar) and the best delivery system (one-on-one,
group-based, self-study, or a mix.
Your format should also depend on the nature of the material you're teaching. If
you're showing someone how to set up websites, you might offer video tutorials
where they can see what you're doing, and tech help with a live representative
if they run into trouble.

On the other hand, if you're offering a language learning course, you might
deliver classes through a webinar system, with self-study materials and group
meetings for students to practice speaking.
It would help if you also decided how long the course will take and how much
you'll offer in terms of materials. Keep in mind that the more material you
provide and the more in-depth you get, the more you can afford to charge for
your program.
Support materials are especially important. As students work their way through
the course, they'll undoubtedly need some help. These supplemental materials
can include anything from checklists, resource guides, and workbooks, to live
online support and quizzes.
Finally, you'll need to determine what marketing channels you'll use to reach
your audience. If you've defined your target market well, this shouldn't be hard
at all. You should already know where they hang out online and what kinds of
content they like.
Next Steps:
▪ What format and delivery system will you use to offer your signature
program?
▪ What marketing channels will you use? (Remember to emphasize benefits
in all your marketing materials)
