Summary:
In this episode of #70secondCEO, Carl Gould introduces the third core function of your business—Systems—with a focus on what he calls “YES systems.” These are the processes that fulfill your promises to clients: the services you deliver, the products you sell, the experience you create. Whether you run a hotel, retail store, or law firm, YES systems are what you get paid to do. Carl explains why this part of your business must run with clockwork precision and why consistency, predictability, and tactical execution are the keys to success.

Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of investment per day for a lifetime of results.
Third function of the business is your SYSTEMS. Remember, we have YES systems and we have NO systems. The YES systems are:
YES, we have clients and we have to fulfill the orders; and
YES, this is what we get paid to do
So if you're a physical therapy practice, this is when you do physical therapy. If you're a hotel, this is when you have somebody check in and they lodge and they patronize your facility. If you're a retail store, this is when you're actually selling them something. If you're an attorney, you're arguing the case. You get the picture. This is what you get paid for and this is when you do client fulfillment. That's a certain type of person, a highly tactical, compliant, process driven person that runs this part of the organization and is very systematic. Very predictable, and very, very consistent. You should be able to throw away all of your clocks in the building because if I walk in and I look at your YES systems, based on what they're doing, I should be able to tell time of day, day of the week, day of the month, quarter of the year. I should be able to tell by their actions.
