MBA1594 How to Evaluate Your Employees

If you’re not evaluating your employees, you’re not getting your money’s worth.

Just as importantly, the employees aren’t getting their time’s worth. 

Finding out if your employees are growing — or just working — is crucial. But it has to be done in a way that’s fair and long-term-goal-oriented.

Today, we’ll explain how it’s done.

A solid evaluation system isn’t just to help you figure out who to fire. It ensures your employees are getting real opportunities to develop and make big contributions. It gives them a path to follow so that you can both win.

Don’t just hire and walk away. Create evaluations that are efficient, accurate, and foster a stronger team. Click Play!

MBA1591 Creating a User Manual For Your Business

Can your business run without you?

It’s important that it can. 

As your operation grows, it becomes more and more dangerous for you — or anyone on your team — to be indispensable. When life happens and you can’t make it to work, your business should be able to run on autopilot, at least temporarily. 

To do that, you need a playbook. A guide. A manual! 

So let’s create one.

Today, we’ll explain why and how to create a manual of Standard Operating Procedures for your team. Beyond letting your business run without you, it makes everything from onboarding new employees to selling your business easier and more efficient. 

It’s a long-term process that never really ends — but it should start right now. Click Play!

MBA1589 Why Selling Low-Priced Products Can Be Harder

We assume big price tags are for big businesses.

But it’s the opposite, really.

Today, we discuss why new and smaller companies think they have to undercut. While it might seem like a better way to sell your product at first, the message it sends — and the customers it attracts — can make this strategy backfire badly.

You have to be able to afford your customers. And low prices can’t get you there.

By charging what your product is worth, you build a stable foundation to serve everyone better. It’s about the quality of customers, not the quantity. So unless your last name is Walton, ditch the clearance-bin prices. Click Play!
