Tuesday’s Tips — Are Your Numbers Down?

Do you feel like your business has become stagnant, or worse, your sales have dropped? What about other areas of the business? Are you just not happy with the growth (or lack of) that you’re seeing? 

Bill was working with a company where everything was cruising along nicely, until all of a sudden, their orders had slowed down, and they weren’t sure why. 

Bill likes to use the “Four Q Conversations” methold to really dive deep and detect what could possibly be going wrong. It’s set up specifically to ask your core customers what’s lacking in the business, and how you can help them! 

These conversations were developed by Fred Reicheld, who is also the man responsible for the Net Promoter System. These questions, although it might sound basic at first, are strategically designed to help go deeper with your customer beyond the typical weather and sports conversations.

About the Podcast

Scaling Up Business Podcast
Scaling Up Business is all about how a few companies make it...and why the rest don’t. Our podcast shows are drawn from the lessons of our coaching clients, coaching partners, and the leading authors that contribute to our Conferences and the Scaling Up best selling book by Verne Harnish, and the Team at Gazelles.

We’ll share practical tools and techniques for building an industry-dominating business. These approaches have been honed over three decades of advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives and helping them navigate the increasing complexities that come with scaling up a venture.

We want to turn what can feel like an anchor, into the wind at your back — helping you create a business where the team is engaged; the customers are doing your marketing; and everyone is making money.

Each episode of the Scaling Up Business show focuses on one of the four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. We'll share the tools and methods that have been used by more than 40,000 firms around the globe to scale their companies successfully -- many to $1 billion and beyond.

Running a business is ultimately about freedom. The Scaling Up Business show tells leaders how to get their organizations moving in sync, to create something significant, and still enjoy the ride.
