Episode 90 – “2017 – Are You Ready?”

It’s not too soon to start thinking about how you’re going to make 2017 a success for your company. Here are 5 areas I am providing you with to start 2017 out STRONG!!!

YOUR BUDGET:
There could be a number of reasons why your business is not achieving its financial targets: 1) Sales are down, either because of a decline in the market or because of competitors, or most likely….You’re not taking the right actions; 2) Margins declined while your costs stayed the same.

A lot of people create a budget to control spending, and thereby limiting their opportunity for growth. But the secret is to increase spending and increase revenues. Can you be charging more for a product or service? Are there additional things you can be selling to existing customers?

On this episode of The 10x Business Owners Mastermind Call, John Pyron “The Sales Doctor” is going to share with you step-by-step how to dramatically increase your sales over the next 2 months, so you can finish 2016 strong and go into 2017 with massive Momentum.

Between now and the call, really dive into your financials and figure out what is working and what isn’t.

CONSIDER YOUR ASSETS:
Your company’s most important asset is its people. Are yours being heard? Your employees can be one of your best resources in terms of business decisions. Figure out what ideas may have been suppressed and bring them into action.

ARE YOU USING THE RIGHT SYSTEMS:
It could be time to consider if your company is using the right technology to maximize profits. While it can be tedeious to research and invest in new technology, and then get an entire company on board with it, new technology could be the difference between your business succeeding and failing.

ARE YOUR KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS CLEAR & MEASUREABLE:
Make sure each department understands their expectations. Real employee engagement starts with your team members agreeing with “I know what’s expected of me at work”.
Having clear KPIs allow you to manage more objectively and determine areas of improvement.

SHARE YOUR VISION:
Be realistic with your team about what potential downfalls the company could experience, your time frame for getting things back on track, and what each department should be trying to achieve individually.

I am here to tell you thetre is still plenty of time left in 2016 to examine these areas and create changes that lead to better outcomes in 2017.
