One of the vital components of being in business is sustainability – you simply can’t be all things to all people and have all your income be generated from working one to one with clients UNLESS you decide to take on further employees or contractors to assist.

The financial management of your business has to be strategic. Planning out your income strategy in tandem with your sales funnel does take time but is well worth the effort when you see the income coming into your bank account and reflected in the financial reports of your business.

Use the template above to help you review and reflect on your current sales funnel – remembering to link it to your income generation strategy.
