Pro Tips
What I mean by that is that all you’re doing is doubling your capabilities because you’re one person now you have two people. What’s going to happen is you’re not going to take account that half of your productivity will not go to manage the second employee. So you really did not double your productivity.

One of the benefits of hiring your first VA. I’m not sure exactly what you’re going to get out of out of that person as you know as productivity, but as you’re training them you’re going to have them document everything. So now your business, will basically have processes for everything you do.

Quotes
So when marketing automation came in it basically gave you more, the multiply on your investment such as resources, such as marketing dollars, and so on. So you’re able to say the right message to the right person yet, not lose that personalization to that to that transaction so to speak.

That was back during the times where I think if I remember correctly Infusionsoft was charging like five grand to onboard you.

But now you almost can’t survive without some sort of system that basically brings together your sales marketing and operations.
– Meny Hoffman
In general business owners have this tendency of going to a conference or hearing about something about the new, new, system. They say “let me jump in it and do it” and that’s where I think we need to back up and say strategy first execution second.
– Meny Hoffman
I suggest doing this once a quarter and it’s without anything happening, it’s just because. Employees deserve that because if they giving the the time and the energy and the effort to be part of your organization, they deserve from leadership other than just a paycheck and a compliment. It’s to have that dialogue with leadership, to know where they want to go, know what’s working for them, and where you could even be giving them specific feedback.
– Meny Hoffman
It’s your duty as a leader to give them the resources they need in order to be able to be successful what they do.
