As entrepreneurs and business owners, we're capable of a lot. When we have goals in mind — and clients who need us — we’re really motivated to get things done. But, what if there’s a better way to do them?
Explore this scenario with us for a minute:
A potential client requests a proposal. You create one from scratch and send it over via email. You tell yourself that, at some point, you just need to create a template or a process for this kind of thing. But you never find the time and keep making them from scratch because it’s just easier (and faster) to do it that way. Not to mention, you already know how to do it, so why spend the time creating a process that just replicates what’s already in your head?
Does any of that sound familiar?
This is actually how a lot of businesses operate. But just because you can create everything from scratch doesn’t mean you should. That’s when it’s time to explore systems and tools that work for you, so you can continue to scale your business.
If you're not sold on the idea that your business needs systems now, let us detail some of the ways it can be costing you and your business.
Between scheduling calls, playing email tag, and launching new projects, there’s a lot of time spent communicating and keeping everything on track. If you don’t have systems in place to organize it all, you risk something falling through the cracks. Or, even worse, creating a bad client experience.
As a result, you not only lose time that can be spent growing your business, but you might lose out on actual business. Thankfully, there are tools with built-in systems that can avoid these situations altogether and create a seamless onboarding experience for your clients (and you!).
With a CRM tool like Honeybook, you can streamline virtually the entire client onboarding process. It automates tasks like:
With a project management system (like ClickUp), you can simultaneously keep your team and clients on track. By fleshing out tasks, processes, due dates, and everything in between, you’ll save tons of time:
Simply put: You can’t grow your business if you’re constantly caught up in the small day-to-day tasks. Whether that’s answering tons of emails [link to inbox zero blog], creating deliverables from scratch, or reinventing the wheel every time you need to get something done, you’re likely wasting precious time — time that can better be spent on big ideas and strategies. Because as business owners, we all know that time equals money. What’s more, having a scattered and disorganized business increases your risk of losing clients or partnerships. All of which, of course, hinders the growth of your business.
For business owners, the ultimate dream is to work less while making more. Without systems in place, though, the work might feel non-stop and even start to affect your personal time. Truth is, you don’t have to hustle and grind 24/7 to have a successful business.
Does it take hard work? Absolutely. Will you have some days and weeks that you have to put in extra hours? Of course. But it doesn’t have to be like that all the time.
On the surface, it seems like systems are only good for keeping you organized and automating a few tasks. But when you think long-term, they’re so much more than that. Let’s break it down:
The short of it? More organization, automation, and streamlining means more time to live your life. And systems are your solution to do all that and more.
