Dr Patricia Murugami is a large life & corporate who needed to share a clear & personal message for her growing multinational community through a personal website (see her personal & online coaching websites).

Coming from a background of corporate accounting and auditing, Dr Patricia realised that more executives and people at her workplace needed to live fulfilling lives at work and beyond their desk. She founded Breakthrough Leadership Transformation (BLT) to help her growing community of corporate & social leaders achieve their goals through her coaching.

Long-Term Impact

Growing a loyal community with an organic, personal voice

Within two months after the launch, she experienced a 33% growth of her community to over 4,000+ online members in early 2022. This was from her online & offline events, personalised communication through Mailchimp, and an overall pleasant experience for all her website visitors. This growth was also due to her solid investment into connecting one-on-one with her community over a decade.

Scaling revenue with online content and subscriptions

With an above-average conversion of 6% of her total traffic, it was easy to tell that her brand messaging & community’s loyalty encouraged more purchases and memberships by her community. A good e-commerce conversion rate is usually one between 1% and 4% of total traffic.

Getting more value from the clock with automation

With the new Dr Patricia and Rise School websites handling some of the customer interactions such as purchases, community memberships and online coaching, Dr Patricia and her team had more time to work on the business tasks focused on growing the brand and business.

Creating a welcoming, impactful brand for long-term growth

The most important goal for the brand updates were to improve the community’s experiences of interacting with Dr Patricia not only offline, but also online through her website. By creating a warm feel on the websites, it would be easy for her to create a welcoming first impression to new and existing community members who visited the websites.
