Dear friends:
Have you seen this meme? –>
It illustrates the winding road to success everyone must walk! If this meme resonates with you because you feel the highs and lows – don’t worry… YOU ARE NORMAL!
Here are two steps you can take today to hurry towards the more clear and controlled part of success:
1) Let sales guide your priorities
Sales numbers are a thermometer and guide for your business.
Yet it’s very easy to get distracted by the 🔥 fires burning… the urgent elements of running your business or dealing with your worst behaving client. This is classically called “Tyranny of the Urgent” and results in prioritizing URGENT over truly IMPORTANT.
Yet if you re-focus on sales you will find that the answers that can help put out those fires are usually being spoken through your sales results. Sales will tell you if you are A) doing sales activities and B) if you are doing them effectively.
As you talk to potential clients you also learn – there are better clients out there (so you can fire your worst one without worry), which products your clients love, and get feedback on what processes are missing to help them be satisfied. These are data points that make you a better business owner… and ironically a happier one too.
Your current sales numbers reflect your investment in sales. It’s that simple. In = Out. If things are bad right now, the issue is you’re either not A) doing sales activities or not B) doing them effectively. If thats the case, it’s ok – re-focus on sales… and let that guide you as your priorities starting now.
2) Create a team to stay focused on your priorities
Watched behavior is better behavior… for your employees but also for you and me! Everyone is human and does a better job with an eye 👁 on accountability and encouragement.
We all want to be on a team – so create one and be the leader of it. #TEAMSALES!
Usually few people will be invested back in your life without some of your investment in them but people can be shockingly easy to motivate! 🍩
How can you motivate others in your life? Sometimes you can just ask an experienced friend in business… and offer to buy them lunch every week. Ask your bookkeeper to send you an email report of your ESTIMATES out, INVOICES, SALES NUMBERS and ask them to tell it to you in your weekly meeting.
Whether you reach out to a friend, mentor, coach or even an employee – if you can create a SALES team who cares about your numbers and will help you keep an eye on it. You will quickly find you perform better.
I wish you wild growth success,
Emily
