Don’t wait until later to do this…

I was speaking recently with someone who had sold not one, but two businesses in the past several years.

I asked her what she found were the more challenging aspects of selling.

She said that one of the biggest challenges was getting her processes in order. She didn’t build her company with the idea of selling it in mind and certainly didn’t think about capturing her processes as they operated.

So, preparing to sell her business the first time was quite onerous because documenting her processes was something she had to start from scratch.

It wasn’t until these were in place that her business could be properly evaluated (along with other metrics).

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are not only valuable when you’re trying to sell your business, they're actually very powerful to:

  • onboard new clients and employees (successful starts lead to greater increased retention)

  • create consistency in your customer experience

  • support your employees to understand and work towards expectations and outcomes

  • help maintain your brand in the market place

  • create consistency in service or product delivery

and the list goes on…

If the thought or even the words “Standard Operating Procedures” makes you cringe, don’t worry, I’ve got you.

I would love to share a guide that can help you clearly and simply create yours.

And, it provides additional context as to why these are important to consider for you right now.

If you need support when it comes to creating your SOP’s, then reach out and let’s chat.

NOW is YOUR time.
