To deliver a great client experience, you need the right people on your team — but you also need the right processes to help your team thrive. So how do you decide what needs a process? And how should you go about developing these processes?
According to Venus Tahmasebi, running a business is all operational. There are other components to it, but without systems in place, you can’t operate.
Early in Venus’ career, she wore many hats and was involved in everything. She was answering the phones, locking up the office, signing up the cases, handling the cases, hiring, firing, and undertaking the firm’s finances. She was involved at every level. However, as the firm started to evolve, Venus realized she couldn’t do it all on her own. So, they started to develop internal policies and protocols to figure out the best way to manage operations.
After discovering what worked (and what didn’t work) in the firm, Venus has some advice for other businesses looking to develop systems and ultimately improve the client experience. To determine if something needs a process, you should analyze each issue: is it a case-specific challenge? Is it a people issue? Or, is it a process issue that you see reappearing again and again?
Once you figure out the areas that need processes, you need to get the team involved. Systems and processes naturally start with leadership and culture, but it’s also important to train your team, get them involved, and give them the opportunity to offer up insight into what’s working operationally.
