One of the best high ticket business opportunities I found was a company called The SFM. The Six Figure Mentors is an online business training and education company which helps people build online businesses from scratch.
One of the things that’s different about The SFM is that there is a business community which you can plug into. Once inside there’s a whole wealth of information and you can join the various Facebook groups for help and advice while building your business from anywhere!
What Is The SFM?
The SFM is a company founded by Jay Kubassek and Stuart Ross. Their goal is to empower entrepreneurs to use digital technology to enable them to live more fully and without the need for a job or a boss. They offer high ticket business opportunities for the people in their community.
What Can They Do For Me?
Stuart and Jay’s company The Six Figure Mentors offer a high ticket business opportunity. By using their products, tools and services, anyone can learn how to build an online business by selling their range of high ticket products and earning up to 40% commission on each sale.
Affiliate marketing is a business model which allows anyone to use other people’s products and earn a commission. But The SFM is different to most affiliate products because of their business structure:
- Access an automated high ticket sales funnel with a range of products for you to sell
- Earn 40% commissions on your product sales (depending on your position in the business structure)
- Sell high ticket products worth up to $20,000+
- Benefit from subscription digital products – subscriptions pay you monthly for memberships
- Benefit from an in-house sales team closing sales on your behalf.
- Access a training and education program which helps you in all aspects of the business.
- All the tools and software needed to build your business are included.
The SFM Success – What Does It Take?
The SFM has already had a number of success stories from their program. It’s no magic bullet of course and this is a legitimate business opportunity which will take hard work and determination to succeed with.
But there’s a huge advantage in leveraging digital technology over traditional methods of earning money. Trading your time for money is a severely limited business model. An online business has the benefit of digital products and a global audience. High ticket business opportunities don’t come much better than a digital business system which lets you work from anywhere and leverage digital technology.
The Business System And ‘Gearing’
The business system itself is geared to give you a good return on investment in a number of ways:
- Subscriptions – pay you monthly over and over for one sale.
- Multi-tier sales – Earn commissions from sales made by your referrals (according to your position in the business structure)
- Up-sells – benefit from later sales closed by the in-house team (just refer the customer once and benefit later on when the purchase again)
- High ticket products – let you use paid strategies more effectively and scale up more easily than with small value items.
Selling digital products and using internet marketing techniques is also a massive benefit to a business from the get go! All of these systems can be automated and scaled up. That’s hugely powerful for a business because most businesses have the human element standing in the way of growth.
Physical businesses are limited by location and provide value to a limited customer base; whereas an online business is completely automated and scalable.
Of course having the knowledge of digital marketing is going to be the biggest challenge for most people who start an online business. That’s why Stuart and Jay’s company offers some of the best training programs available:
Training
Microsoft Lynda (Under the Linkedin umbrella of companies). ML recently partnered with SFM as a way to offer their own 6,500 training courses as part of the SFM curriculum.
DigitalMarketer (The world’s longest standing and most highly respected B2B and B2C marketing training company). They have partnered with SFM and now offer their own training as part of the SFM curriculum.
The SFM also has a huge range of trainings and webinars within its back office. They offer live question and answer seminars globally online. They also run physical meet ups around the globe throughout the year.
What Do I Get With The SFM?
Once you join the SFM business system as a member, (See Six Figure Mentors Cost) you can access the back office, software and training materials. Most importantly you will be able to set up a sales funnel and landing pages which have your own unique affiliate links within them.
The software available will enable you to build websites and landing pages for your online business which are fully customisable. You will also be able to access many other useful tools. Checkout the image below to see an example of one of the software’s you’ll be able to use:
You can also join the many Facebook groups which offer training and one to one advice during a Q & A sessions which run during the week.
Depending on where you position yourself within the business structure, you can benefit from a number of high ticket products which you can use in your funnel. See Six Figure Mentors Compensation Plan.
High Ticket Business Opportunities – Position And Earnings Structure
The top priced product is the DEA Black level of commission structure. This purchase also gives you access to a top level retreat with 7 figure earning entrepreneurs. As a DEA reseller positioned at DEA Black level you can benefit from 40% commissions on these high ticket sales and also 10% commission on tier 2 – sales made by your referrals. See the chart below.
The first high ticket product you can access in the range is the Elite level membership. Elite offers the lowest priced high ticket product which you can then use in your sales funnel for maximum business growth at a minimum cost. Elite membership is $2000 and this enables to you to sell the product yourself and earn 50% commission on the sale. (subject to changes).
Basic Membership Earning Structure
As a basic member of the SFM you won’t be able to take advantage of the high ticket business opportunities available at the higher levels. You will still be able to access trainings and events though, and the Facebook groups which can help you with various marketing strategies.
I used The SFM education to help me grow my martial arts club, by using what I had learned. You can also still sell the high ticket items but your earnings from selling them will be much lower. This will limit the potential of your business and you will need to focus on the free marketing strategies only. Paid marketing will be too expensive to recoup your advertising costs at basic level. See chart below:
What Are The Chances With High Ticket Business Opportunities Like This?
Many people start out with affiliate marketing and don’t carry on. That’s a shame because it does work if you keep at it and keep learning and developing. But for those looking for a quick fix, it simply doesn’t work because they haven’t put the work in to allow it to work.
Any business is only as good as its owner, too and high ticket affiliate marketing is no exception. High ticket business opportunities, like many opportunities, come with a risk. If you start down the path, you need to commit to the long term with it. 90% of people will drop out before they see any results from this kind of business.
It’s the same with many things in life. If you expect a business system to do the work from you, you’ll be disappointed. If you work hard on yourself and on your business, you can make some dramatic life changes with a business like this.
