The Ultimate Business Tune Up Rich Allen

Have You Built a Firm Foundation for Your Business? Today I want to share with you the five (5) key elements that I believe go into creating the foundation for any business.  You may want to grab a pen and paper so you can write these down – because when we’re done, you’re going to want to spend some time reflecting on your business and perhaps even adding some details to these 5 key elements in your business.

How effectively are you Qualifying your New Prospects?  Many businesses have their team assembled, they have their product or service ready to go, and all they need to make the business work is to find and secure more customers. So this week I want to tackle one of the bigger challenges – Qualifying new prospects.

How are Your Employees Feeling About the Impact Your Business is Having on Those You Serve? This week, I want to dive deeper into the LEVEL THREE – or as I call it GEAR THREE – statements that every employee is asking and assessing on a daily basis. These Gear Three statements are related to whether the business is serving their customers well and if the business is making a difference in the community and world we all live in.

How are Your Employees Feeling About their Fellow Team Members and Their Future with Your Company? This week, I want to dive deeper into the LEVEL TWO – or as I call it GEAR TWO – statements that every employee is asking and assessing on a daily basis. These Gear Two statements are related to their supervisor and managers – the leadership of the business – and to their future with the business.

How Can You Keep Your Employees WITHOUT Requiring a Signed Non-Compete? You’ve probably heard the reports that the Federal Trade Commission, better known as the FTC, has issued a ruling that is intended to promote competition by banning all non-compete clauses issued by companies to their employees. I’m going to recommend that every business owner use this warning shot as a reason to double-down on creating a work environment that supports and builds a “radically-engaged” team.

How Good are You at Catching People Doing Things Right? No matter how good they are at their job, the majority of employees feel that their immediate supervisor or direct line manager focus WAY MORE on the things they get wrong than those things they do well. Great talent is hard to find.  And when you have great talent, the LAST thing you want is for them to be discounted and disenfranchised from the business.
