✨ Hey, it’s Damously,

Every founder dreams of more sales. But here’s the ugly truth: most businesses are addicted to chasing new customers—pumping cash into ads, posting nonstop, and celebrating every new lead like it’s the finish line.

The richest companies play a different game. They don’t just win by getting more customers… they win by making each customer worth 10x more over time.

That’s Lifetime Value (LTV). If you can turn a $50 buyer into a $500 buyer, you can outspend competitors, dominate your niche, and scale without living on the “new customer” hamster wheel.

Today, here are the Crazy 8 Plays to multiply your LTV—fast.

1. The 3X Upsell Rule

A single sale should never be the end of the journey.

Here’s the 3X Upsell framework:

  1. Immediate upsell: Offer a premium or bundle right after purchase.

  2. Post-purchase offer: Send a follow-up a few days later with a time-limited deal.

  3. High-ticket backend: Introduce your premium coaching, consulting, or DFY service after trust is built.

This ladder turns $50 customers into $500 customers without needing extra traffic.

2. The Recurring Revenue Model

One-time sales make you broke. Recurring revenue makes you rich.

Memberships, SaaS tools, coaching retainers—anything customers pay for monthly turns spikes of income into predictable cash flow.

Even a simple $9/month add-on, scaled to 1,000 customers, means an extra $9,000/month on autopilot.

3. Price Anchoring for Bigger Sales

People rarely know what something “should” cost. They compare prices you give them.

Offer three tiers:

  • A low-ticket option ($99 ebook)

  • A core product ($997 flagship course)

  • A premium package ($4,997 VIP coaching)

Most people will choose the middle, raising your average order value instantly.

4. The 28-Day Cash Surge

Every 90 days, run a cash play:

  • A weekend flash sale

  • A bundle offer

  • A holiday promotion

It injects fast cash into your business without relying on new customers.

5. The Value Ladder

The best businesses build a ladder of offers:

Free lead magnet → $27 mini-course → $297 main product → $2,997 mastermind

Each step warms people up for the next. Customers climb higher, spend more, and stay longer.

6. Retention Machines

Acquiring new customers is expensive. Retaining old ones is cheap.

Simple retention strategies:

  • Surprise gifts or bonuses

  • Private community access

  • VIP loyalty discounts

Retention = higher LTV with zero ad spend.

7. Referral Loops

Happy customers can become your best salespeople.

Incentivize sharing:

  • “Bring 3 friends, get 1 month free.”

  • Affiliate payouts or credit bonuses.

One customer can turn into three… then nine… then 27. That’s exponential growth.

8. The High-Ticket Backend

The big money lives at the top end of your offer ladder.

Once customers trust you, offer premium options: done-for-you services, private consulting, enterprise packages.

One $10,000 client = 200 low-ticket customers combined.

Key Takeaway

LTV is leverage.

When every customer is worth more, you can:

  • Spend more on ads

  • Outbid competitors

  • Scale profitably without stress

Run the Crazy 8 Plays, and watch your revenue per customer go through the roof.
