Interested in an additional source of sustainable income without hours of manual work?
That was probably a stupid question because, duh, what entrepreneur isn’t interested in that? The problem is extra sources of reliable income don’t just grow on trees. Many business owners and their teams are too busy to track down revenue streams that don’t require constant attention and will actually help scale their businesses for years to come. But we have good news: Our new feature Solution Launchpad takes the stress out of scaling by helping you generate steady, repeatable income.
Keep reading to learn how Solution Launchpad works, all the benefits of this tool and the steps you can take today to get started.
What is Solution Launchpad?
Solution Launchpad is a handy little feature right inside your Keap app that enables you to take automated solutions you’ve built, quickly duplicate them, and sell them to other businesses who want to hit the ground running with small business automation. Essentially, it’s an efficient, repeatable way to generate additional income without hours of manual input or having to expand your payroll.
Who can use it?
Keap Certified Partners can jump into Solution Launchpad today! If you’re not a partner yet but have Keap expertise and the desire to make some extra money, becoming a Keap Certified Partner is your next step. Once you do, you can take full advantage of Solution Launchpad as well as tons of other partner-exclusive perks.
We’ll get into the specific steps you can take based on your partner status below, but for now, just know that whether you already get paid to set up and customize Keap apps for your clients or you're looking to start, Solution Launchpad will help you do so in a sustainable, scalable way.
How do I make money?
The entire process of this feature is pretty simple, and it can be summed up in four steps:
Build: Build custom automations as you would for your own business! You might even already have campaigns that you can sell. Just take a look at which ones are working for you because chances are they could work for other businesses too. If you have plenty of business automation solutions in your app already, all you’ll need to do is copy their components so they're ready to sell.
Push: Once your custom Keap solutions are built, it’s time to pass them on to your clients. This is the fun part because, with a few quick clicks, you can push what you’ve built straight from your Keap app to the one you're building for a customer. You can also grab a link to your solutions and email it to your clients so they can access your solutions and load them into their apps themselves.
Customize: After your campaigns are in their new home, you can tweak any necessary elements so they seamlessly align with your client’s business. The result will be a fully-customized app created in a fraction of the time.
Get paid: What more is there to say? After nearly zero manual input from you or your team, that cash will hit your account and you’ll see just how awesome Solution Launchpad is! From there, you can keep repeating this quick process for every client on your list, and as you do, you’ll be scaling your business in a balanced and steady way.
What are the other benefits?
Aside from being a great way to boost your bottom line, there are a few other big benefits that you’ll notice when you start using Solution Launchpad.
Reduced implementation and setup time: When customers hire you to set up their small business CRM and automation platform, it takes some time for you to build each and every component in their app. But with Solution Launchpad, you can set yourself apart from competitors by drastically reducing the time you need to create a fully-functioning, ready-to-use software solution. In the end, you save time and your clients get what they’re paying for faster. Talk about a win-win.
Ability to serve more people: As you can probably tell, Solution Launchpad was designed to save you hours of manual input, allowing you to multiply the work you’ve already done (without having to hire additional team members) and deliver it to clients more efficiently than ever. With less time spent in the weeds building out apps, your growth won’t be limited by the amount of hours in your day and you’ll be free to serve more people.
Consistently deliver an excellent customer experience: Before this new feature, mistakes were more likely to happen because each campaign had to be replicated manually. But you don’t have to worry about that anymore. You can simply duplicate your solutions in seconds and send them off to your clients, leading to consistent results and a perfect customer experience every time.
Protect your agency’s intellectual property: Building your custom solutions in Keap and sending them off will set your business up for long-term success. But what you may not have realized is that this process also offers enhanced security. Solution Launchpad protects your expertise and assets so your customers can enjoy them but not replicate or sell them as their own.
