For many business owners – large and small – the thought of building better systems is an enticing one.
But it's also daunting. For instance, how do you know what components a system needs? What's the trigger for when one of these components needs to do something? How do you make it repeatable and iterative?
And, most importantly, how do you measure the results of the system to make sure it's successful over time?
Here to discuss that with us is speaker, author, sales expert, and nationally syndicated business columnist Shawn Rhodes.
In this episode, Shawn shars his insights about his own systems and how he identifies when an additional component is needed. He also shared his acronym for building new systems: Trigger, Replicatable, Iteratable, and Measurable (or T.R.I.M.).
Using this acronym, Shawn has helped companies across the country build systems – sales and otherwise – that not only bring in more revenue but do so consistently AND scale the business to new heights.
If you're ready to build systems in your own business, this is one episode you don't want to miss!
