Do You Know and Plan For The 3Rs for Your Business

Do You Know and Plan For The 3Rs for Your Business

Everyone is familiar with the 3-Rs from school reading, riting and rithmetic. This was our first introduction to an effective performance model. As proficiency increased in each R, performance was further enhanced. Effective performance models by their very design are a continuum that automatically raises performance to the next level.

Todays businesses have their own 3-R Performance Model. This model hasnt really changed since the early of origins of business enterprises. No matter what the latest business guru or executive coach advocates, good business practices and most importantly the bottom-line always appear to return to these basic 3-Rs. For without Relationships, Referrals or Revenue, todays businesses will not achieve current goals nor grow.

R1 Relationships
With the Internet providing immediate access to unlimited vendors, products and services, todays business owners must develop sustainable and loyal relationships. Current customer service research suggests that the cost to attract a new customer or client is 10 times greater than to maintain an existing customer. Relationships lead to the second R.

R2 Referrals
Referrals according to recent research account for 84% of all sales. This research supports what our common sense tells us about human nature. We are more likely to believe a close friend and probably a not so close friend over the slick Madison Avenue advertising efforts. Additionally, only 1 in 26 dissatisfied clients will share their dissatisfaction with the organization, but will be more than happy to share their bad experience with others.

Referrals add value to the bottom line by reducing marketing dollars. You cant pay for referrals. This R is given free much like a friendly smile or a sincere handshake. R1 and R2 make R3.

R3 Revenue
Without this final third R, companies would not be in business. Revenue is the ultimate desired end result. When revenue grows, both the company and employees transition beyond surviving and transform into a thriving, high performance, results driven team where everyone shares a laser focus. Successful companies and individuals actively work the 3-Rs every day regardless of their yearly achievements. Complacency for these individuals is not an acceptable attitude!

If your goal is to reach that next level of success, then maybe the first step is ask yourself, do you know your 3-Rs? And the second step is to begin to construct a plan to help you improve your 3-Rs. P.S. If you dont have a plan, then you are on someone elses plan.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
