What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made over the past year, or year and a half?  I was in a room with entrepreneurs who generate over $1 billion in annual revenue and that question was one of the most important when it came to learning how to take your business to the next level.  Join me as I share the answer to this question and the stories behind them.

Highlights:

  • Severance packages are the cost of poor leadership
  • Never take your foot off the pedal on a prospect
  • Be careful of who you are hiring
  • Just one person can affect the culture of a company and not always in a good way
  • How you personally lead will make or break the success of your team and over the business
  • The opportunity costs due to lack of action
  • Make sure you have deep conversations with the people you want to promote as sometimes they are already in the right position for them
  • Always be recruiting. Ensure you have the team members to handle the opportunities as they arise
  • When it comes to launching, ensure you have the framework fully developed before doing so
  • Keep your eye on the marketplace
  • Balance your priorities
  • Have a cyber plan and cyber insurance program
  • Hire great people, give them authority and get out of their way

 

Until next time, get out there and make a difference, be unstoppable, and leave no regrets!

The main goal of any business plan is to obtain new clients and keep them on as clients.  But in order to achieve that you must reach 100% of the marketplace utilizing 100% of the ways. This week I am going to share how to take your recruitment and retention results to an even higher level.

Highlights:

  • Don’t rely on email to reach your market. If you are not deleted, it may be a long time until it is read
  • Take on the mindset of a consumer.
  • Design a marketing campaign and use all venues within your reach include phone, snail mail, email, text, video, and run the gamut
  • There is power in the human voice, it helps with a connection so don’t be afraid to call or use voice broadcasting
  • Research on how a certain marketplace likes to communicate and build a campaign around that
  • When do you start reaching out to your lost souls, referrals, and wind backs? Day zero.
  • Everything starts with two things: decision and action

 

Until next time, get out there and make a difference, be unstoppable, and leave no regrets!
