Save Money and Time By Standardizing Your Procedures
Presented By: Joanna Beck
Companies focus on the big picture: Increasing sales, lowering costs and delivering products to market quickly. Unfortunately, it’s the small things that hamper growth: a missed deadline here, a failed callback there. They all add up to frustration and are roadblocks to growth. Companies can be more effective and efficient by identifying and correcting the small issues that impact the big picture. This helps them better serve existing customers, reach new customers faster and increase profits.
Joanna is frustrated by insufficiency and promises that don’t deliver or solutions that don’t work. She has endured companies that make it hard to solve customer problems and are only focused on themselves. Joanna ventured out on her own to show that small changes can make big impacts. Entrepreneurs don’t have the bandwidth to change and improve operations, and her knowledge and experience make a huge difference to their bottom line.
