How to Streamline your Business Processes to become More Efficient

Girlfriend, are you feeling disorganized? It happens. We get busy and end up finding ourselves feeling overwhelmed and under prepared.

Last week, we talked about the secret to providing a positive client experience. In the article, I shared a horror story of my own experience working with a professional who was disorganized, stressed and overall, frustrating to work with.

We discussed the importance of your clients working with the best version of yourself and feeling that “organized, great energy, on top of it” attitude from you every time they come in contact with you.

So, this week, we wanted to dive deeper into the importance of the organization aspect of it all and how streamlining your business processes can help you feel more organized and ahead of the game.

Here are a few reasons why streamlining your business processes are important –

1. It keeps you organized.
2. It helps your team, partners, clients – everyone involved – feel comfortable and confident during the process.
3. It helps you provide an outstanding experience in turn helping you gain more clients through referrals.

Now that you understand the benefits of having organized business plans, here are a few ways you can streamline your business right now –

1. Set up email templates in your email signatures that you can fire off to clients at a moment’s notice. Here’s some we created for our VIP members.
2. Delegate, delegate, delegate. Assign your team members clear cut policies and procedures and ensure each one is doing the work to put them in place.
3. Map it out. If your current process is a mess, carve out some time to sit down, write it all out, find the areas for improvement and draw a new process that brings it all together.
4. On that note, list out your pain points. And the pain points you consistently come across with clients and business partners. Where is there room for improvement?
5. Seek out advice. There’s no harm, in fact I recommend you do this, in reaching out to someone who seems to “have it all together” and ask them about their own processes/successes. They will likely open your mind to ways you can improve your own business and make your life easier. All of the great leaders I’ve ever met, heard of, or read about talk about the importance of having a mentor and learning from the best.

Girlfriends, hopefully these tips will take you far and allow you to evaluate your current processes to find room for improvement.
