To have a successful membership program depends on your ability to market it to your customers. As a business owner, you need to get out of the mindset of being a builder into the mindset of being an educator. You’re here to give people solutions to their programs.

About Our Guest
Kurry Co-Founder, The Service Hub Podcast Co-Host, Owner of Wasatch Bike Pros: Mobile Bike Shop, and Sales and Marketing Analyst Parker Willams join us in The Site Shed to talk about recurring income, how he began using it to help other businesses grow and what it truly is as well as how it works.
Three years ago he was working on his mobile bike shop and was coming to the end of the season. He dreamt of having a recurring business model as he was starting a family. He ran into a friend who introduced him to membership programs and service agreements and later offered him work with their business. Parker Williams moved up to a Sales and Marketing Analyst within months and started teaching membership programs, service agreements, and recurring income.
Later on, he decided to apply this knowledge to his business and help other businesses use this same method. He has then helped other businesses to reach up to $10 million in recurring revenue. They also recently created a software that also generated close to $20,000 in just one month.
