Successful Business Plans

Successful Business Plans


The Situation...


I am the Chief Executive Officer of a retail company. Every year, we list our business plans, company goals, etc., but most of the time we do not meet them. How can we make our Business Plans work?

The Coach's Response ...

Realistically, it is you who can make it happen. Your job is not only to write and communicate the business mission or plan of your company. You have to take it over the line until it becomes what the company wants to be.
You have to show them the way and the building blocks until it prevails in the work environment.
You will then instill in your people the meaning of accountability and ownership.

Powerful Question ...

  • What are you unhappy about?
  • What can you commit to make your business vision and plans become a reality?
  • What are you prepared to do to breathe life into them?
  • What will you do to be on top of things in your organization?

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
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

Stories That Coach! - My ‘Stories That Coach’ blog is to deeply express my ‘inner-views’ in my life journey as a Coach. I want to take these stories to you, with each coaching story becoming a specific 'thought' platform. It is our place to actively share, generously express and deeply and widely interact.
