How Efficiently Does Work Get Done in Your Organization?

This week I want to explore with you the different ways that work gets done in an organization.  And more importantly, I want to encourage and inspire you to perhaps re-think how work is getting done in YOUR business.

I believe that work gets done in any business or organization of any kind in one of three different ways.  Let me define these three methods or approach to getting work done – then I’ll ask you which applies most directly to YOUR business.

How Clearly and Precisely have you Defined Your Ideal Customer?

This week I want to help you resolve one of the most frustrating challenges that face most business owners – having to deal with customers who are NOT their “ideal” customer.  If you’re like most business owners I’ve met, you have a handful of customers who you would GLADLY see go away – except for the fact that you need the revenue that comes from them doing business with you! 

Am I right on this?  Let's discuss how to resolve this big problem.

What Promises Should You Be Making To Each and Every Customer?

This week I want to challenge you about the promises you make – or should be making – to those who use your products or services.

You see, I believe each of us, as business owners, owe it to our customers to make them a promise – or even several promises – of how we will conduct business with them each and every time they need our products or services.

Does Your Customer Service Make Your Customers Tell Everyone About It?

This week I want to challenge you to “up your game” when it comes to your Customer Service.

You don’t have to be a Sewell Cadillac or a Nordstroms to blow the socks off your customers.  Just focus on them with your complete attention, make their issues bigger than your issues, and don’t be afraid to recommend others if they truly have a superior solution.

Does your Team Culture nurture Individual Winners or Team Winners?

This week I want to “geek out” on the Olympics for a bit – I hope that’s ok with you!  If you’ve got a pulse you are probably aware that the 2024 Paris Olympics just finished up a week ago after 16 days of some of the most exciting sports competition you could ask for.

Whether it’s in cycling or track and field, or tennis or gymnastics or some other sport, we can learn a lot by watching those who aren’t any more gifted than someone else compete.

How Do You Welcome New Team Members Who Join Your Team?

This week our topic is one that will have a long-lasting impact on your team and your culture – the Process You Use to ON-BOARD NEW TEAM MEMBERS.

We all know that when we first meet someone, our first impression lasts the longest.  It’s why when we first meet a prospective customer, we put our best-foot forward.  We want to make a positive first impression – because it makes it much easier to build a solid relationship when we start with a positive impression.

Do Your Team Members Play The “I’m Right – You’re Wrong” Game?

This week I want to address a situation that seems to come up far too frequently.  This one has to do with how your team members react and respond to others on your team.

This is the game where when two people disagree on how to handle a situation or they have different opinions on what the focus or priority should be, they begin to take sides on the issue.

So how do you get rid of the “I’m Right – You’re Wrong” attitude in your business?  My preferred approach is to change the game we are playing.  Rather than allowing team members to play the “I’m Right – You’re Wrong” game, I want you to introduce them to the “Yes- And…” Game.
