5 Schedule Fixes to Make Your Business More Profitable
An entrepreneur’s most limited resource is his/her time, and there is never enough of it! Don’t you just wish you could have a week where everyone leaves you alone you can just work on all of the things you never have time to do? Dreamy, right?
Since carving out that EXTRA time seems pretty impossible, how about working with the time you are already spending and making that time MORE PROFITABLE! There are many things you can do to squeeze more green out of your limited time and here are just 5 ways.
- Host Powerful Staff Meetings – Finding time to meet with your staff can be tricky, and when you do it’s easy to feel like the conversation goes off the rails quickly into aimless conversation, or time-wasting rants. To make your staff meetings engaging and Profitable start talking numbers…measurable goals, that is. Host engaging fun meetings that get to the point with staff quality scores, client stick rates by employee, number of auditions won, staff award level numbers, the company’s number of days since the last recurring client cancellation due to quality and other numbers that make things clear about what everyone is shooting for. Make the targets clear and you will get everyone more self-motivated to improve the business with every scrub. More efficiency will mean more profitability.
- Prioritize Planning Time – You spend a lot of time all week doing various things, but not everything that you do pays off like it should. For example, you could spend the week texting back and forth with your staff, or you could spend your time analyzing your recruits over the last year and develop a new employer branding that makes you attract 5 times more qualified recruits. Taking the time to work on the “important” and plan out a different strategy is difficult to find the time, but wow, the impact that one week has on your business and your profit is so much more powerful.
- Manage Your Time in 2 Week Sprints – As entrepreneurs most of us have a list of things that we want to do in our businesses that is 10 times longer than we could ever do. Instead of tearing your hair out, get realistic…Start approaching your projects in two week stints. Every two weeks you complete one project. The patience this takes is tough, but you are more likely to really get things done…profitable things…and in a year that is 26 major projects that can get completed.
- Make Your Management Meetings More Profitable – Host weekly management meetings with all of your leadership personnel (possibly including your Field Supervisor/s and Trainer/s) and have a specific agenda checking in on all of your dashboard highlights measuring sales, customer retention, staff retention, recruiting success and more. You should be measuring the big issues in your organization and when you notice changes, you can identify moves that will have big impact on your efforts, your revenue and your profits.
- Make Your next 30 Minutes the Most Productive Of Your Week – Have you heard of the Pomodoro technique? It’s nothing new, but a 1980’s method that is still super effective today. The time-management method works on the principle that you focus on a task for 25 minutes and then take a break for five minutes. It works like this: (1) write down the task, (2) set the timer for 25 minutes, (3) focus only on that task for 25 minutes, (4) and then take a five minute break. Repeat no more than 4 times. Studies show you will be twice as productive as you would be multi-tasking or more! When you are twice as productive with the time you spend, you will have more spare time to deep think about how to be more profitable.
The 5 Greatest Lies About Your Business Success
Are you a cleaning business owner whose business is RUNNING YOU? Do you feel like you have been told lies about the perks you can get running your own business? Watch our video revealing what I hear are the 5 Greatest Lies of small business ownership.
Did you know that MOST cleaning business owners, even high revenue businesses don’t achieve the profits, time and freedom they deserve? The average small business owner works TWICE as much (200%) as the average employee in the U.S. And, 2/3 of all small businesses fail, and 82% of the businesses that fail do so because of money and profit problems. I was thinking about these statistics and how important it is for small business owners to get control of their time and their money, and I decided that Sharon Cowan, CBSE and I would host a powerful workshop January 1/31/18 in San Diego. Quality Driven Software is hosting their conference at the same resort 2/2-2/3 and we decided to band together and make really impactful resources for cleaning business owners.
