You hired your team because your business grew too big for you to handle all the things on your own (a fabulous challenge to have, btw). But I get it – even with support, you still have issues letting things go .. we all do.
Every business will experience growing pains. And while your team might be amazing at what they do, they can’t read your mind when it comes to bringing your big vision to life. That’s why it’s absolutely critical that you bring your vision and expectations to your team in a comprehensive way, so that you can delegate with confidence.
In order for your business to grow and thrive, while still maintaining the quality service that surpasses your client’s expectations, every member on your team needs fully documented processes and standardized training.
I’m often asked what’s the best way to start documenting processes when you’re so busy you can’t see a way to make time for another daunting task. My answer is simple.
All you need is:
1) The task you want to document.
2) A tool like Loom or Zoom to record it. You can talk through the process while laying out the steps you take to complete it.
3) A translator like Otter.ai. Pop the recording into the translator and you’ve got a fully documented process in a matter of minutes.
(And you can cross that task off your list for the day, also. Win win!)
Streamlining processes through automation and SOPs is my thing. If you need help setting up SOPs quickly and efficiently so you can delegate and train your team the right way, book a discovery call and let’s talk about it!
