Hire the Person Smarter than You
Many bosses will be intimidated by hiring someone smarter than they are. You run the company, so there is no way they can fire you. You need smart people for the obvious reason that they know more about you in certain areas. They can better make it all work for your business to rise. Perhaps you are not as good in public relations or human resources and management. Instead of forcing your energy towards something else or, worse, forcing your inabilities on to a good employee who will become disgruntled and quit, hire the person that is better than you to do the job.
Your business needs creative ideas, vibrancy and interaction. If you are always the smartest person in the room, then your ideas will go stale. This could lead to being delusional about where your business is going and how to keep moving forward. No need for you to take the lead on everything, as you are the owner of the business. Build a team that can think and act without you. If you have created a good team they will be proud when your business is winning and be down when the business is not doing as well. If you do not have this formula yet, you can keep working on it. Sometimes it takes a while to build a quality team.
Customer Lives Improved
What is in it for your customers? This should be the mantra for your company. If it is not, then rethink your business model. By now you should know who is your ideal customer, their demographics, and even what more they like that compliments what your business has to offer. Your business should exist to improve customer’s lives. Your team will help to find these solutions. It is especially great if your team feels they are rallying behind something that impacts others’ lives in a positive manner. You must define this on your terms and within your the arena of your business.
Sales growth can wait while you are in this part of building your business. Grab the positive factor that pushes your team and then focus on sales.
Not Just Dollars, But Real Numbers
What are realistic numbers that your team can live with and still win? Is it page views that you want to focus on? What about meals served? Or, is it calls and presentations? Whichever your business focus is on in order to get your sales funnel flowing, focus on realist numbers. You want some healthy competition, but not a maniacal team set on the numbers. There is a fine balance for every company. If it is too stressful you will start to impact the flow of creative ideas. If it is too lax you may not be challenging your best team players enough. Which numbers can your team members take pride in? How will you gauge improvement – weekly or monthly?
Focus on the Company’s Numbers
Focusing on the company’s numbers is going to be crucial to keeping the door open. Once you have started to bill clients or customers, you will want to have a strong follow through. Perhaps this is the part where you hire someone smarter than you in order to get the job done. Fee financing covers anything related to your financial obligations. You may have acquired funding in order to get your business of the ground. Know what the necessary steps are so that you are ahead of the financial game.
