🚀 Why Setting Employee Expectations Matters
Many business owners assume employees think like them, but that’s rarely the case. When roles and responsibilities aren’t clearly defined, businesses lose time, money, and opportunities. A prime example? A high-end dental surgeon lost leads on $50,000 procedures because the wrong employee was assigned to follow up. With proper alignment, he could have closed more deals!
💼 Whether you own a small business, salon, dental practice, or marketing agency, setting the right expectations can increase productivity, improve employee satisfaction, and boost revenue.
