Most meetings are a waste of time.
When you don't have a specific outcome for what you want to accomplish during a call, time is wasted ON the call trying to figure that out.
That's why before the call, I always ask them what they want to discuss during the call.
They book the call (it's self-serve so there's no phone tag) and they get a link to join the call.
During the call, I give them an outline for what we're going to cover.
Issues are discussed, priorities are set, and decisions are made. We don't waste time chit chatting.
I just got off a Quarterly Review Call with a client and here's exactly how the call went:
1. We went over his numbers from the last 90 days. We broke down his lead generation system into steps and looked at what's working and what isn't working.
2. With a clear picture of his current situation, we set a goal for the #1 measurable goal he wants to achieve over the next 90 days.
3. Based on THAT goal, I help him figure out the specific items that will move him there.
4. We prioritize the items to be implemented based on what will make the most direct impact to increasing his conversions.
5. Rinse and repeat every quarter.
In sum, you don't need to have a bunch of meetings, all you need is a simple business s.y.s.t.e.m.
What does a system do for you?
