Do you struggle to delegate? You can't grow if you can't scale! Fix it with these tips:

Have fear of losing control? Add more structure
If you fear that tasks won't meet your expectations, here's a solution: Clearly define tasks and expectations. Get clear on what needs to be done and communicate what you want to achieve, instructions, deadlines, and necessary requirements.

Don't trust deliverable quality? Build and test little by little
Hesitation to delegate often comes from a lack of confidence in your team members' abilities or reliability. Overcome this by starting small and gradually adding more. Start with smaller assignments and increase complexity as they prove their capabilities. Build trust in their skills while minimizing risk.

Don't have the time to onboard? Foster more learning on the go
You may feel it's faster to handle tasks yourself... but you're shooting yourself in the foot. Offer training via shadow calls and screencast working sessions. Invest in growth early to enhance your team's ability to handle tasks. Establish regular check-ins for progress tracking, addressing challenges, and providing feedback.

Give these tips a try, empower your team, and reap the benefits of delegating!

👻 We’ve all been there. Sometimes leads ghost, what can you do?

Actually- there ARE things you can do.

Check it out:
- Put follow-up dates in your calendar with reminder notifications
- Set meetings instead of just sending emails, emails can be ignored easily!
- Revaluate your closing process, could there be more touch points?

All three of these actions will create a noticeable difference in your communication. While you may not always close a lead, requesting feedback when you are met with rejection is a great way to find insights. Don’t be afraid to hear a “no,” it is an important part of business.

Having a CRM (customer-relationship-management) tool for your business plays a critical role in any business's success.

Since all CRMs are not created equal it's important to start by clearly defining your business objectives. With your business objectives in mind, create a list of features/functionalities your CRM must have. Additionally, make a list of other applications you need the CRM to integrate with (ex. GSuites, Zapier, Slack, Dropbox, etc).

With this information in mind, start reviewing CRMs and scheduling demonstrations to get a feel for the CRMs you're most interested in. Some important things to think about throughout your demo are:

- Whether customization is available or not
- Whether the user experience is intuitive and efficient or not
- If the CRM is scalable with additional advanced functionalities

All in all, there are hundreds of CRM options available. The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a CRM for your business is to keep it simple. It's easier to start small and scale up as your business grows.
