HOW TO STREAMLINE YOUR BUSINESS SET UP YOUR PROCESSES, WORKFLOWS FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Word of the week: Streamline
Streamlining your business is all about reducing your workload, reducing errors, and being more efficient. This comes in the form of workflows and processes that are designed to avoid repetitive and redunant tasks in your business.
For example: I used to have to send individual email invoices every month to my clients. I wasn't using my Customer Management System to it's maximum capacity and once I took the time to dive deep into it, I can now automatically send invoice emails on certain days. Makes my life so much easier. In addition, I could also set up auto-payment for my clients and not have to worry about that at all!
So what tasks in your business are repetitive, redundant and consume your time and take you away from staying in your zone of genius?
Here are some areas of business that you may want to evaluate for maximum efficiency:
*Turning leads to clients
*Client processes and communications
*Order processes/ Shipping processes
*Communication processes (current and past clients)
*Money coming in and out
*Payroll and taxes
*Hiring processes
*Client and Team Onboarding processes
*Website reports/ analytics, updates, additions, product management, etc.
*Marketing and Social Media (Blogging, Emails, Podcasts, Videos, etc.)
For example: What is the process of onboarding a new client? From start to finish? If you wrote down that step by step process, now you have a workflow! And then next I'd hire an expert to evaluate this process and see if there are any steps that can be eliminated, delegated, or automated for maximum efficiency.
