EP 188 3 Keys to Success When What You Sell is YOU

EP 188 3 Keys to Success When What You Sell is YOU

 

Key 1 Define your lane well.

Avoid trying to take over every task despite your skill level. You might not be providing the best value to clients. This might not be the best use of time. You want to commit full focus. Build a connection with other professionals that compliment your services. You build your value by bringing great referrals. Others can refer you for your specialty.

 

Key 2 Build your confidence first.

Part of the selling process is hearing no. Bring your skills to opportunities that fit. Provide value rather than sell aggressively to any and all.

 

Key 3 Dont take it personal

No does not always mean never. It might just not be the right time.

EP 186 3 Keys to Managing Remote Workers

EP 186 3 Keys to Managing Remote Workers

 

Remote work has been around longer than you might think! Remote work saves office space and provides more flexibility. I worked from home while expecting my first son. I had an extra phone for dial-up. Looking back I was ahead of the game! Regardless, remote work is becoming more frequent.

 

If your employees are working from home there might be a huge shift in your approach. Set specific goals and deadlines to ensure productivity.

 

One particular image I have in mind is that of two mazes. One maze had a direct route to the finish. The other maze took all sorts of twists and turns. Which maze do you prefer?  Appearing busy is less important than achieving goals! Remote work requires more short term goals. Define what progress is!

 

Remote work can be isolating. Bake in some extra time for team connection. I recommend some open office hours. Play some games online or have some social hours.

EP 184 Increase Creative Problem Solving

EP 184 Increase Creative Problem Solving

Does your team lack creative problem solving skills?

You have the power to boost your team’s skills. Your team might be trained to come to you to solve issues rather than take their own specific liberties.

Be specific with what your team can solve.

Visualize a sandbox. How much freedom is given to solve an issue. How much room do your employees have.  Define what your team’s sandbox is.

At zappos a customer service representative has complete creative freedom to solve an issue up to about 100 dollars.

Where does your team lack freedom to solve problems?

Has your team been trained, intentionally or unintentionally to go to leaders with issues.

What is the problem solving process in your business?
Require a few potential solutions when bringing up problems.

Celebrate moments of independent creative problem solving.

Missteps are an opportunity to learn.
