Navigating Lost Opportunities:

 

Franklin reveals that, historically, about 80% of potential clients were content with the call center explaining they aren't salespeople and a Pest Pro will return their call. Recognizing that he couldn't personally attend to every call, he realized that around 80% of callers were only looking for immediate assistance. Not capturing these leads meant a missed opportunity, as people often hang up and contact another company for instant service.

 

Identifying Unique Abilities:

 

Using Eric as an example, Franklin discusses the concept of working geniuses. Eric possesses enablement, invention, and wonder, with a significant dose of tenacity. Tenacity, Franklin explains, is the quality required to see a project through completion. In this case, it highlights the difference between planning and dreaming (where Eric excels) and implementing with persistence (where he shines).

 

The Art of Execution:

 

Eric's remarkable ability to execute stems from his discipline in staying focused on one project until its completion. Franklin details Eric's capacity to immerse himself in a creative process, such as producing music, where he meticulously handles every step, from writing to mastering. This trait contrasts with entrepreneurs who struggle with focusing on a single task due to the allure of multiple ideas.

 

Understanding Entrepreneurial Wiring:

 

Franklin underscores that entrepreneurial tendencies are often encoded in one's DNA, making it difficult to alter certain characteristics. He likens consulting to counseling, requiring patience and guidance to help business owners understand and work with their inherent traits. Franklin also emphasizes the importance of aligning actions with the long-term vision, practicing patience, and seeking sustainable growth.

 

Seamless Migration and Future Steps:

 

The conversation shifts toward practicalities, discussing website migration, accounting, and understanding financial reports. Franklin outlines the technical aspects of migrating the site while preserving its SEO value. He also acknowledges the need to comprehend financial numbers and recommends evaluating them through expert guidance. Franklin concludes by reminding the business owner of the importance of stepping back from the business to allow it to flourish and the need for consistent, patient effort.
