Final Round – “Breaking Down the Recipe for Success”
What systems would you go back and put into place sooner?
I wish I had used the CRM called Highrise — and Jessica shared the reason why this CRM is so cool.
What one strategy or “recipe” would compound into big wins for business owners?
Focus on how to keep clients longer instead of trying to bring in new clients.
How to exceed expectations and add the most value?
An individual would underpromise and overdeliver — they go above and beyond.
What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?
- Follow the money initially — focus on what you’re passionate about later
- Get yourself a coach, mentor, or mastermind group — you need someone to keep you on track
- Go to live events — build relationships with people like you — you’re not going through it alone
