Growth is a term used to describe increasing some thing. Within the context of your company, it might be sales, leads and revenue or sales.

In order to grow your company, it's important to take stock of how all aspects of your company operate as a whole, which includes marketing, sales as well as client satisfaction. Alongside your business review, it's important to examine your personal time and what you're doing in conjunction with it. The goal of building for growth is to build both a life and business that you're excited to lead.
Recognize your potential for scaling up
Although it may differ in every business the first thing to do is to examine the customer satisfaction processes.
Many people start out in the field of coaching as well as delivering the services they provide. While there is a limit to the amount of time within a day. It is likely to be a hindrance if you're spending all your time working on individual clients but not putting the effort in implementing the infrastructure of your company.
If you are then you should start recording everything you perform. If you don't think like you have a process begin taking note of the times you spend on your typical jobs - calling, creating materials for your clients and email communications, as well as setting up and maintaining jobs.
The most common things to delegate are the administrative and technical tasks. You won't be able to determine which aspects you ought to prioritize until you begin keeping track of your hours.
Common business areas that can be expanded
Here are Katya's recommendations to areas that can serve as good points of reference from which to increase your process's scale that you're using
Client atboarding
It's very simple to automatize. When coaches take on new clients, there's no subsequent process of engagement or follow-up. There could be a plethora of requests from clients, and you answering the same question repeatedly.
Start to develop a process that assists clients in settling into your company. This could include an email welcoming to each customer upon signing in to working with your. Instead of emails, consider sending videos, or text messages explaining the expectations of your clients.
In defining things such as communication guidelines, limits, boundaries as well as learning goals and homework assignments students will be required to finish.
Your clients will ask these questions regularly. If you know how to answer them, they could be listed in a short onboarding session on . All prospective clients must take all of the lessons, and include a link to your schedule at the end of each lesson for them to sign up. If they decide to sign up by clicking the link then you'll be able to tell they've read and agreed to all of your conditions as a coach.
Incorporating tools in the equation
There are many software tools to manage projects as well as time management software, but they are those that Katya typically recommends to customers:
- Trello. A web-based project management tool that is visually appealing and a collaborative tool.
- Asana. If you're a person who lists and want to manage your work, this application might be more to with your needs.
- Hubstaff. A time-tracking software that is efficient and can be used to track your time for either you or with your friends.
- RescueTime. Time management software for free.
- Convertkit. Software for sending marketing emails that you could use for promoting the onboarding process and materials for training.
Check your time, your to-do's, and projects, so that you get an exact image of what the issues are. If you're spending lots of time in emailing or carrying out the same tasks related to managing projects time and time again, that's an indication that you need to employ a virtual assistant to manage your email.
The Pitfalls and the Challenges
These are the most significant challenges Katya is facing as a coach and the other service-based businesses face as they attempt to expand their operations:
Not hiring soon enough
The reason for this is typically a fear of not knowing how for people to delegate tasks. If you believe that you're the only one who can perform a task or that you're the best at everything, you're definitely going to struggle more than you're required to. The cause of burnout lies in the booking process as well as marketing, and pleasing clients. Do not let yourself become a victim from burnout because that you haven't hired your staff quickly enough.
"When you find the perfect person, it is important to trust that person, and then be willing to let go. They may also assist in scaling up, or hire others to assist you so that you are able to concentrate on reaching your goal."
- Katya Sarmiento
If you're nervous about welcoming guests to your home, you should start recording each and every aspect. Conduct a time-based audit to discover which areas you're using the most of your time. Find out what motivates your work and what you are unable to do. List the aspects that cause you to be exhausted, then find a person the right person for the job.

Doing not take long-term perspective
If you went on a disappearance for 30 to 60 days, would your company still exist? A majority of companies do not have to be in the same situation. If you don't have the desire to take a vacation, or a sick day, or to enjoy time with family members and friends, it will never happen. Be sure to take the long view of your company, and plan to build structures that let you not just have a profitable company, but also an enjoyable life.
Scaling personal brand identities
Certain coaches build their own personal brand around their names and are blocked from scaling their company while adhering to the personal brand they've created. If that's you then you're in a position to expand your business!
- Make courses. Create content that is in line with your knowledge, however, be sure you label it with an alternative to your personal brand name.
- Certification. Establish a procedure for obtaining certifications built on your activity as well as make it available to other organizations.
