Are You Annoying Your Customers? And what to do about it (and get great reviews) 4:29

Do you know what it's like to buy from your business? Do you understand your customer’s buying journey? Do you know what hoops you make your customer jump through in order to do business with you? Is it possible that your buying process is annoying your customer? Regardless of whether you run a large enterprise or a small business, your customer's experience of you will attract them to come back again and again - or frustrate them until they are lured away by your competition. If they think you don’t care, they’ll happily go somewhere else. This week we focus on common things business owners do to drive customers away, and what to do about it!

Driven vs Ambitious 3:11

Are you Driven or Ambitious? And why does it matter? The first female NFL coach, Dr. Jen Welter, was the keynote speaker at a conference I attended a few years ago where she put this question to us all in the audience. It made us pause and most of us were not sure! She explained how these words define our outlook and what is really motivating us all. In this week’s video, we discuss the difference in out attitudes and work / life enjoyment depending on whether we are driven, or ambitious - or a little bit of both!

Stop Babysitting Your Team - Use the simple Five S Training Method - like a Flight Instructor Does 4:22

Do you ever feel like you need to babysit your team because they have trouble completing some tasks successfully and consistently? I know many business owners who feel that way. And it is usually because they don't have an effective framework to train their team members, or they just don't invest enough time training them to be effective. In this week's video, I share with you a 5 step training framework I learned from my flight instructors while getting my pilot's license. Using this 5 step process to train your team will result in more effective team members, better execution, and free you up to focus on what's most important in your business.

I was at the airport recently and I got thinking about the windsock as it was blowing around in the gusting winds. A windsock is a simple yet critical tool for pilots, as it tells them what direction the wind is blowing and at what speed, which is extremely important when you’re taking off or landing a plane. What areas of your business do you need to know the velocity and direction? Cash flow? Lead flow? Sales? In today's episode, I share how to choose what to measure in order to make effective decisions, take the right action, manage your business well, and most importantly, be able to scale.

Robbing the Emotional Piggy Bank...of Your Customers 2:30

3 years назад2:30

Whenever we interact with our customers, we are having an impact on them. The impact is rarely neutral, and usually either positive or negative. When we have a positive impact, its like making a little deposit into their emotional bank account. Having a negative impact on a customer is like making a withdrawal from their emotional bank account. Whether we are making a deposit or withdrawal is based on how our customer feels after interacting with you or your team. Here’s a little story to illustrate the concept. My son and I were flying cross country and I had paid extra to get a window seat. We’re big airplane fans and we wanted to see the sights as we were flying across the country. We get to our row, and there’s actually no window! Just the bulkhead! So frustrating! -- Connect with me on LinkedIn Watch episodes on our YouTube Channel Watch THIS episode on our YouTube Channel Schedule a Discovery Call with me www.kaizenperformance.com…

Different Behavioural Styles on your Team: Differences as Strengths 2:36

3 years назад2:36

2:36

This week I want to talk to you about personality styles and behavioural styles. Think about this: on your team do you have anybody that kind of drives you nuts? Are you looking at their difference as a weakness? If you are, I'd like to challenge you to look at their difference as a strength. For example, if you're high energy a lot of motion person, you're getting out there making things happen, and you've got someone on your team that's a little bit slower paced and reserved, they're looking out for your best interest so they might just be checking those balances that you're not seeing. Conversely, if you're a little bit of a slower paced individual maybe a little bit conflict avoidant, maybe not as "out there" having somebody on your team that's got a lot of great energy and is willing to get out there and shake things up might be a real strength as well although you might find it a little intimidating. We want to make sure we've got a well-rounded team. A solid team, whether you're individual and it's the contractors or support people you have, we want to have a lot of variety in our personality styles and behavioural styles on the team. When we see them as a strength we can be a lot stronger together. If we see our differences as challenges we're going to be nitpicking and feeling frustrated all the time. So this week my challenge to you is look at the people you're working with. If you find some differences in their style that is sometimes frustrating for you, try to find the strength in it. Find out, why did you bring them on board in the first place? Why are you guys working together? What was the amazing thing you saw in them that made you want them on board in the first place? What is that strength? Try to get around those differences, look for the strengths.

3 Steps to Overcome Self-Sabotage: From Possibility to Probability to Profitability 3:49

3 years назад3:49

3:49

Have you ever said that you wanted to be, do, or have something and then immediately or shortly thereafter you decided that you couldn't be, do, or have that thing. And then you talked yourself out of it. What happens there? You're inspired with the idea of something that you could do, but then you made a decision that it wasn't possible for you. Something I want you to think about is when that happens, is that a logical or an emotional response? It's emotional right? Logically if there's something that you want to be do or have why couldn't you do it? If it's been done before, I'm sure it's possible for you. We have these emotional responses sometimes that talk us out of taking any action at all towards something that we're excited about. That eliminates the possibility that we can ever achieve what we want to achieve. In this episode, learn how to move through the negative "can't do it" so you can achieve what you want to achieve! As you grow, as your identity develops, as a business owner, you're achieving new things, you'll have new ideas on what's possible for you, new negative responses that you need to get through, new ways of getting started, more consistencies to increase your probability more profitability, and guess what? Now we think we can do something else as well. So this is the whole loop: Possibility leading to probability, leading to profitability.
