How Data and Systems Work Together

It all comes back to Innovation.

Creativity can lead to innovation, but Innovation is all about doing something new, changing how you do things. Innovation can change the world, but it doesn’t have to be big.

If you are keeping track of how many customers you see in the day and you know how many customer you see in the morning vs in the afternoon. Then compare how many of those customers buy your product at which time of day. Then you can plan your day better to reach more buying customers and save time.

It’s theoretically possible to stop innovating and continue to do business without changing anything that you do, but in the real world, if you’re not innovating and growing, you are depleting.

Everything you quantify allows you to reconsider what changes you can make in your processes to save you time and increase revenue.

Stampede is currently using our podcast, Know Like Trust to measure what kind of businesses will work with us the best. We started with coaches and health and wellness businesses, then we switched to accounting and programming. The coaches were very eager to jump on the podcast and speak and some of them are interested in doing business with Stampede. The accountants and programmers are more reluctant to get on the podcast, but we’re hoping that they are more eager to do business with us.

Stampede has spent time innovating. Recent innovations have been discussed in prior episodes, like the Prospect Powermid. The original innovation happened when we decided that we don’t build websites the way other people build websites. We make it easy for you to come up with your information. We tell you what we want based on specific information that we have found to be the most successful organization of information on your website.

You need to orchestrate your business which is basically to create processes to tell your employees how you want the business to be run. Franchises work because there are processes and systems. You can hire really good employees that can figure out how to run your business for you and you become the product of your business. But if you orchestrate everything, then your business becomes a product of you.

It’s not about micromanaging, it’s about giving them a patter for success. Without the processes and quantification, you don’t know if it is working or even what is working. Southwest Airlines burned their rulebook but that was part of the orchestration. They orchestrated speed to completion by removing the rules that were bogging down their employees.

Spontaneous discover occurs in the process of orchestrating your business. If the processes are in place and you look at it, you will find the magic. Numbers might be boring alone, but they tell stories and provide images to really help you understand your business and see the big picture. Numbers are awesome!
