  • 76. Hiring The Best Players

    Hiring is something that most of us want to do, but not necessarily the process of hiring…

    • DISC Assessment
    • Culture Fit
    • Skills Assessment
    • … all before proceeding to a final interview.

    • 74. Making SOPs Work For You

      We recently talked about creating SOPs… but now what?

      A Google Drive folder filled with SOPs do exactly nothing for us if they’re not part of our operational workflows.

      We have to operationalize our SOPs.

      There are many different tools that you can use to actually create SOPs, such as Process. All of these work very well.

      But the problem is

      • That you are having to switch systems in order to follow them
      • No cross-collaboration available
      • Accountability is lacking
      • Just another thing to link to…
      • Learn the process that I use to operationalize my SOPs in this valuable episode.

          • 71. Humanity in the Office, Automation in the Business with Michelle Nedelec

            No matter where you are in business, you could use more automation in your systems.

            Having our systems automated allows us to concentrate more on the human side of the business as everything else is already taken care of.

            International bestselling author, Michelle Nedelec is an expert in Entrepreneurialism and the founder of Awareness Strategies. She’s run her own series of companies for over 22 years and for over 15 years has been helping Managers and Executives to continually double their profits and revenues.

            Learn more about:

            • Why creating “Frankenware” will inevitably fall apart and we should be using fully integrated technologies (hint: not just with Zapier)
            • How to best serve your team by delegating and properly assigning tasks and assignments
            • Ways to enable customer support to properly convey tech problems to the broader team
            • Why data and tracking the source of traffic is so critical to long-term organic success
            • How to manage a global team with international clients and still stay on top of technical issues
            • This was a super fun conversation and it was fascinating to hear the perspective from someone with many years of experience. While we sometimes take our tech for granted, it is one of the most important (and most likely) areas of the business to break.
