Recovery Plan P4

If cash is tight in this lockdown, bounce up and down, you know,...

... we're opening up with locking down we're slightly opened me up a slightly looking down...

with all of this type of stuff is very unpredictable, can cause a lot of uncertainty.
And if your cash flows is feeling the impact of it, then this is for you.

My name's Gordon D'Silva

And I built a little model recently, which I'm rolling out to my clients and rolling out to the business community at large, because our want the business community to, to weather this storm.

It is a big storm and it's going to affect the whole country in some way, because we've spent so much money in support for our current situation.

So. Today, I want to talk about cash flow.

If cashflow has been hit, we need to feel with managing our cash flow.

We need to feel it's being managed rather than just ebbing through our fingers like sand.

Right.?

And the first tip I have for you today is to stop waste.

In every business there is an element of waste.

Now, sometimes it could be waste like I had.

Where we had multiple subscriptions for a product.

We're hoping that I would grow into them, but you know, now growth is not top most on my mind...

It's really, you know, making sure that we don't waste any money in the current situation.

So I've canceled some of those subscriptions.

It may be that you've got costs that you don't have to incur.

Now, you don't want to have, you don't reduce costs that are going to affect your customer service or your customer delivery or your customer care, or in fact, your customer acquisition. .

So the types of costs you can, reduce are probably going to be limited, but, you be careful when you limit, when you reduce costs, because typically you, limit the ability of your business to move forward.

So that's my first step.

Hopefully it was useful.

Don't forget, comment, share, like, .

Get it out there, follow, do whatever you need to do...

And there's some more tips coming up. I've got another one coming up to your own cash flow in a moment.

On the third tip I have for stabilising sales falls... and maybe growing a little bit... and maybe growing a lot ...
...is to pivot and look at new product ss or services.
You want to look at how you deliver them. How you offer them,
How you put an offer together,
How you position the offer,
How you pivot what you're doing, how you change your delivery methods,
How you bundle different things together to meet the needs of the current situation for your customers and clients.
And of course, think of something completely new, you could offer them.
You know, if your business is shut down and you can't go to work, then what could you do instead?
To make income.
What other skills do you have?
And everyone has got skills.
No one has got no skills.
Everyone has got skills.
How can you use those skills to, to launch your new business, to get income for yourself and your family, to look after yourself and them?
And then of course the team and the wider community...
That's it for this one.
I look forward to catching you on my next bite sized piece.
So let me leave you with that.
This is Gordon wishing you well, hopefully that was useful.
And I look forward to your feedback.
Don't forget, click like, share it, follow... whatever, and there's more to come take care.
Goodbye.

Recovery plan P2

On this little micro strategy, we want to talk about our positioning in the marketplace and our marketing.

We want to make sure that our marketing reflects the situation that our clients find themselves in...

... what one great marketer.... I can't remember if it was Dan Sullivan or someone really amazing.

He says, "you've got to enter the conversations going on in your customers or your clients mind".

And if right now in your client's customer's mind, there maybe this lockdown issue, this, this, uncertainty.

And you need to reflect that.

And if you do that, they're going to understand that you understand them, and it's going to be one little notch closer to helping them know, like, and trust you, which is so important in online marketing.

So that's my first tip for this one or my second tip, in fact, and I'll catch you on the next one.

For my third one, which is a trio.

Recovery plan P1 When sales slows or crashes

When I did my research for this, there was one of three things that was hampering business.

And the first one I'm going to talk about today is growth, growth of sales, growth of income.

And if you will income has dropped stagnated or collapsed, then this bit is for you.

And so what I thought I would do is break it down into this quick sections of three things.

When our growth is down, we want to, I have more positive signs that our sales are coming back, that our sales are stabilising.

That we can carry on doing business.

And to do that. I've identified three little, projects that can be broken down further to help us, make sure that we get our sales back.

The first thing we want to do is we want to make sure we up our client care.

Clients are the most valuable things in business besides our teams, of course, besides ourselves. but our clients are the most valuable thing.

They’re like gold, and we need to treat them better than gold.

And to do that, you just need to up your client care.

It can always be increased.

And a mindful of the story of Zappos, when, he offered to sell shoes to people... as many as they wanted, and he would pay for the shipping to return them.

Amazing.

And the rest is history.

He did amazingly well.

So let me leave you with that.

This is Gordon wishing you well.

Hopefully, that was useful.

And I look forward to your feedback.

The full strategy will be uploaded in my group here (free). https://www.facebook.com/groups/368953794077185/

Don't forget, click like, share it, follow... whatever.

And there's more to come...

... take care.

Business is complicated.

Without breaking it down into pieces, it can be overwhelming.

Just pick one area to focus on for the day, big one project for that piece of focus, set to work on getting it done or moving it forward.

One a day, equals over 250 per year.

That is a lot of progress.

If you would like some thoughts on a project to work on.

End of a busy week, lets take stock...
Hi, this is the end of the week.

And it's time for us to just reflect on how the week went.

And when I'm in my coaching sessions, I ask my clients three questions.

The first question I ask, and today's a Friday, so you can play along as if we're in real time.

You can pause the video, as, and when you, you feel, you want to just consider the questions a little bit more, but you know, your first answer is usually the best one because that's, what's really going on inside.

Right.

So the first question is.... what were your wins this week?

So there could be anything from a personal win to a business, win to an achievement or to a learning, whatever it is.

What were your, what were your wins this week?

Just make a note of what your wins were and you can post them in the post all together with these three questions.

So when it comes to wins, just put a W and then put your wins after that.

And then, then second question. Is what did life or your business want to teach you this week?

So that would be a learning an L. So what lessons did you learn this week from either business or from life?

You know, business and life is constantly throwing us challenges and lessons than we want to. learn from.

And let's learn from what those are and, and make a note of them. So we don't just let them go. We learn from them.

And when you write them down, you're going to learn them at a deeper level.

So, write those down.

And the third question is what projects or projects are you looking at working on next week?

And of course, on this one, I sort of interact a little bit because we sort of look at what the business wants to achieve, what the business owner wants to achieve.

And I sort of filter that. answer through my lens and what I know about their business and what I know about, their business numbers, their cashflow, their, ability and stuff.

So, and, and what they're good at. And I try to keep them focusing on things that are good at, so that they delegate this stuff that they arn't.
So we want to make sure we look at what project we're working on next week.

So we have that in the back of my mind or in the front of our mind. ..

What the project is that they're gonna do hit the ground running on Monday.

So those are my three questions for the end of the week.

Please play along, answer those three questions.

And therein is the end of the week.

You can then celebrate because you've done really well this week, regardless of what you've done, you've done really well.

And you've either. Won stuff. You've learned stuff and you've planned next week.

So that can't be a bad week.

All right.

This is Gordon wishing you a brilliant weekend and I'll play this. I'll put this video back up to the top at the end of next week so we can play again.

Alright.

Again, this is Gordon wishing you well, bye bye.
