“One of the main reason a business stays in chaos is because of a lack of systems.
When you’re working as on solo operator, you can get by with a few simple systems. But as you employ staff and work on bigger projects or sell more products, you need to systemise to become Tipping Point ready.
And as you grow, the systems for a four person company are very different from a 12 or 25 person business. Same with a having just few clients vs thousands of clients.
And systems can apply to all areas of business. Systems allow us to create predictable results – and nothing takes the pressure off like knowing what lies ahead.
- Do you have a system for your customer service queries?
- What are your marketing systems?
- What about your finances or the way you manage receipts and book keeping?
- Do your communications have a consistency about them
- Does your marketing look and feel a way that makes customers trust you?
- Is your social media adhoc or is it being published on a regular basis?
Systems allow us to be consistent, save time and effort, and helps us train other team members to do their best work with us in our businesses.
But systems aren’t only relevant for those with teams. Any task that you’ll have to do more than once is worth systemising.
We learned this the hard way… definitely going through a period of chaos as our business grew from a few part-time staff to more than 40 full time staff in two countries.
We had to keep paying attention because without the right systems there were a lot of mistakes being made and these mistakes were costing us time and money. So we paid to have someone come and sit with every person to understand how they were doing things – and document that so we could create a manual. That manual is now online and automated as much as possible to avoid things falling through cracks.
When we plan a new course you can bet that we are following a system of what happens before, during and after in how we develop a concept, market a course or webinar, liaise with guests speakers, handle our marketing, produce the event and do our follow up. Our systems are tight so that we have predictable results – but it wasn’t always this way. We had to really focus and prioritise systems.
When you look at your business, have you got your systems documented? Do you take time out to work on systemising tasks or projects you do repeatedly or are you always re-inventing the wheel?”
