You want to grow your business in 2017. We all do. Your business processes are probably getting in the way of your goal, however. Do you feel there are not enough hours in the day to handle your business and your clients' needs. What about personal and family time; do you have less and less of that?
Running a business and serving clients is hard. Not having a process to streamline the whole thing and get all your moving parts moving in the same directions will stifle your business growth in 2017. But, there is a bit of good news. Making your business run more smoothly and freeing up time for your LIFE is as easy as playing with those wooden blocks was as a child.
We use this process with our clients and we are sure you'll be able to implement our "Bloc System" in your business this year and open up opportunities and time for growth. You've heard of Agile and SCRUM, but for smaller businesses a BLOCS system is easier to implement and navigate.
So, what are B.L.O.C.S.?
B - ase Base is what needs to be done on a daily basis to run your business. Do you need to return emails, process orders, pay the light bill? These are all of the basics of having a business. Your entire structure would crumble if you didn't dedicate time to your base. Problem with that is that the BASE doesn't make you money. It allows you to make money. Sometimes it's better to outsource BASE tasks so you can focus on the other B.L.O.C.S.
L - ife Life is the lifeblood of your business. This is the time set aside to doing what makes you the bucks or the thing that you started a business to do in the first place. Is your life crunching numbers as an accountant, giving speeches as a public figure, painting a house. This is what falls under the life category.
O -outsourced Outsourced tasks are the tasks that you do not do directly but support the L block. Let's say you are a Plastic Surgeon and your L block is performing nose jobs. To accomplish this you would need a few O blocks like Anesthesiologist, nurse, front desk person. Sometimes we need to add O blocks so we can squeeze in more time for the money-maker L blocks. You can not control every block if you want your business to grow!
C-lient Clients / Customers, you know those folks that pay you? You have to dedicate blocks to making them happy, keeping them loyal and getting the referral. Since you are the face of the company, you'll need a C-Block carved out for client time and a streamlined system, like autoresponders to facilitate this process.
S -ystem Systems streamline mundane, necessary, and time-consuming processes. Weather you are outsourcing part of the system to an O-BLOC or setting up online S BLOCS; like appointment scheduling, order processing and management, social media posting. Systems make everything work more efficiently.
So,how does the BLOCS System work and how can you implement it to your business, specifically? Schedule an appointment and our BLOCS consultants will help you build the BLOCS for success in 2017.
