7 Things You Can Do in 24 Hours to Add Value to Your Business (and Clients)

Most businesses are so busy fighting fires they miss immediate opportunities to add value. But some powerful business moves don’t need months to implement.

Here are seven high-impact actions you can take in just 24 hours to strengthen client relationships, add revenue, and make your business more resilient.

1. Run a Critical Path Analysis on Your Client Journey

Map every step clients take from first contact to final delivery. Where do they get stuck? Where do they go silent? This quick exercise reveals friction points you may have normalized but that are quietly killing deals.

A wealth manager I work with discovered 40% of potential clients dropped off at the account funding stage – not because they lost interest, but because his complex bank transfer instructions created unnecessary friction. One simple process change increased his conversion rate substantially.

2. Audit Your Business Communication for Response Times

Pull the data on how quickly your team responds to client inquiries, questions, and issues. Long response windows signal to clients that they’re not a priority. Fixing this one metric often leads to immediate improvement in client satisfaction.

3. Create a Value-Added Service Map

List all the extra services or advice you provide clients that you’re not explicitly charging for. This isn’t about immediately monetizing everything – it’s about recognizing where you’re creating unacknowledged value. This clarity helps you position your business more effectively and potentially develop new revenue streams.

4. Set Up a Referral Automation System

Most businesses know referrals are gold but treat them like random windfalls. In one day, you can create a simple, repeatable process that triggers after successful client interactions. The businesses that grow fastest are those that systematize what others leave to chance.

5. Eliminate One Unnecessary Step From Your Sales Process

Review your current sales sequence and ruthlessly cut one step that doesn’t directly contribute to client understanding or decision-making. Every form, call, or approval you eliminate accelerates your path to revenue and improves client experience.

6. Conduct a Competitor Pricing Review

Many businesses set prices then rarely revisit them as market conditions change. Spend a few hours researching what competitors are charging for similar services. You might discover you’re leaving money on the table or have an opportunity to adjust positioning based on market gaps.

7. Launch Your Own Branded Payment Platform

This is potentially the most powerful 24-hour move available. If your clients already make international payments for property, investments, supplier payments, or payroll – you’re watching revenue walk out the door every day.

Right now, you advise clients on currency movements, help them manage international transactions, then send them to banks that charge excessive fees while you earn nothing. This fractured experience damages your brand and leaves substantial revenue unclaimed.

With your own branded payment platform:

• Your clients stay within your brand experience for the entire transaction
• They save significant money compared to bank exchange rates
• You earn revenue from every transfer – capitalizing on conversations you’re already having
• You gain complete visibility over payment timing, reducing client frustration
• You differentiate from competitors still sending clients to banks

This isn’t a theoretical opportunity – it’s immediately actionable.

Why Payment Platforms Deliver Exceptional ROI

Among all the 24-hour moves you can make, adding payment functionality stands out for three reasons:

1. It monetizes existing client activity – these aren’t new sales; they’re transactions already happening that you’re not capturing value from.
2. It solves a genuine client pain point – international payments through traditional banks are slow, expensive, and opaque. Offering a better solution positions you as the problem-solver.
3. It creates recurring revenue – unlike one-time optimizations, payment processing generates ongoing income from every client transaction.

With Sciopay, you get your own branded payment platform without building anything or becoming a regulated entity. Your clients convert currency and make payments through your interface, with access to 50+ currencies at rates far better than banks offer.

Launch in a day, with no code requirements and no upfront costs. Your clients get a superior experience while staying within your trusted brand, and you capture value from conversations you’re already having about international money movement.

Stop watching client payment revenue walk out the door to banks. Start offering the seamless, full-service experience clients increasingly expect.
