Why You Need a Simple Employee Checklist

Every small business owner dreams of building their business. Creating more sales and more profits. I often hear how they feel frustrated by their employees. Either the employee turnover is high, they can't find good help or the employees just seem to always stopping and asking questions.

Both of these problems can actually be helped by having an employee checklist in place. An employee checklist will create a roadmap for the employee to stay on task and be more efficient. These leads to happier employees and more of your time being given back to you now that you don't have to constantly stop to address issues.

In this episode, we dive into a few examples and why each of you, whether you have employees or not, should always have a checklist in place for most jobs or services you provide.

The 5 Mile Radius Rule

So how far do you search for business? Do you travel 5 miles? 10 miles? Up to 50 miles? What if I told you that the vast majority of your business should be coming from within a 5-mile radius? Most neighborhoods have thousands of potential customers within any 5-mile radius. The key is to focus on solving a pain point that many of the folks in that area are searching for.

Too often we try and shotgun all over the place vs using a sniper rifle in a small area. By going all over the place, you are costing yourself profit by wasting time driving all over the place. Once you back out your drive time and costs, you are making less than you thought. This is time you could have taken a closer job making more money.

In this episode,f we take a deeper dive into why this is an important concept and when is the best time to go beyond the 5-mile radius rule!
