Business Creators Radio Show With Adam Hommey

Perhaps you think your law firm is successful because the phone is ringing… and some days, it’s ringing off the hook. However, you find you are still struggling to grow your firm or even be profitable.

Here’s the hard truth: A ringing phone only indicates that your marketing is successful. It’s what happens when the phone is answered that will drive your success… or failure.

Sales and marketing expert, Chris Mullins, joins Adam to help you understand the important role your receptionist or intake specialist plays in converting every call to become a profitable client along with the steps you need to take to ensure the right person is answering the phone and answering it correctly. You may think this is a small matter, but if a call isn’t handled well, nothing else happens.

There is a saying in business, “Focus on the outcome, not the income.” While you’re in business of course to make a profit and create a lifestyle for yourself, chances are you started your company for a bigger reason than just money.

We often forget the big picture of why we started our business as we get lost in the minutae of the actual building of the business. But focusing heavily on the outcome…what impact are you creating for your customers and the world…creates a stronger business sense and structure than just figuring out how to make money.

What’s the difference between the confident business owner who leads the growth of their business vs those who can’t get out of survival mode? It all comes down to this: All successful businesses have a clear marketing strategy that makes everything they do more effective.

Unfortunately, many busy small business owners get so caught up in tactical daily marketing execution like building a website, sending email, tweeting, advertising, optimizing a landing page, blogging and so on, that they are not taking the time to work on the decisions that’ll improve the performance of their tactics.

There is nothing worse at the end of the day than not knowing where your money went or stressing about how you will pay the bills; all while you are not getting paid a salary consistently. Add to that, being hit with unexpected bills, not knowing if you can pay your employees, or not having a firm grasp on your ability to grow the business and you have the makings for a disaster.

Half of all small businesses never see their fifth birthday. Small businesses fail for one reason: lack of focus on the financial health of the business.

Why? Because the financials are confusing. They’re not sexy. Most business owners start their business because they’re good at the “craft” of the business…

But far too many ignore the financial health of the company. And we’re not just talking about how much money is in the bank.

Joining Adam is founder of the CFO Project, Adam Lean. In this episode the ‘Adams’ team up to talk about cash flow, lack thereof and the 7 steps you can take to create more profit and more cash flow in your business.

The “starving artist” myth is a limiting belief that’s been passed on from generation to generation and it’s about time we put an end to it. Not only is it disempowering to artists trying to promote themselves and their work, it’s also a barrier for many talented teenagers and young adults who will not pursue a career in the arts from fear of not being able to support themselves and later on in life, their families. Many will major in a more “socially accepted” program and pursue a career they don’t enjoy. Our society just doesn’t value doing what ignites your passion when it comes to earning a living. Instead, we are conditioned to do “the right thing”, even if it makes us incredibly unhappy.

So what should you do when the thing you are really good at, the thing that really drives you and excites you come Monday morning isn’t putting food on the table?

Joining Adam to dispel the myth around the arts is award-winning Business & PR Strategist and founder of The Artist Entrepreneur, Catherine Orer.

Every year, businesses spend billions of dollars on initiatives, tools, and technology that leaders believe will help their customer-facing teams drive more revenue or customer engagement and loyalty. Yet they lack the internal models necessary to navigate organizational complexity, and the ways of working needed to gather cross-functional knowledge across silos. The result is that too much irrelevant content is created, information is overwhelming and hard to find, and the investments are wasted because their end deliverables simply aren’t helpful for their intended audience.

CEO of Oxygen, Juliana Stancampiano, joins Adam to discuss why businesses are essentially throwing money out the window when it comes to training programs.

The best employers inherently know that taking care of their employees means their employees will take care of their customers. Offering a benefits plan that takes care of the employee and doesn’t break the bank, that’s the dream. It can drive higher job satisfaction, improve morale and help with the ever-present issue of employee engagement.

Most employers don’t know how to accomplish this – or even that it is possible! Every employer should be in complete control of their healthcare spend – driving the maximum value from every dollar and allowing those saved dollars to grow the business and the bottom line.

Understanding how to drive those savings while finding a world class benefits package can be intimidating. Few insurance professionals understand how to get under the hood and tinker to make the plan work better.

Allison DePaoli does. And she joins Adam in this episode to show us how.
