Believe it or not your staff can literally make or break your business. It is imperative that you hire the right people, train them properly and put them into the right positions. You only get one shot to make a good first impression, and a poorly trained staff will make a poor impression every time they answer the phone or interact with a client or customer.
About 90% of the businesses that I coach ask me to train their staff. The major reasons that my clients have me train their staff is that they simply do not know what to do; or, they do not have the time. This article will give you some easy to follow steps.
- A great staff is made not born. Start by hiring the right people.
- Check references before hiring
- Be slow to hire and quick to fire.
- Give clear expectation
- Train in “bite sized” pieces
- Make sure your staff has ownership of these topics:
*Telephone procedures
* Communication procedures
* Advanced personality training
* New client or customer telephone procedures
* Established client or customer telephone procedures
* Telephone shopper procedures
7. Teach the assistant how to attract new business so they pay for their salary
8. Teach the assistant how to build relationships with clients or customers that stimulate referrals
9. Teach systems that create a stress-free environment
10. Teach front desk mastery
11. Teach team building-so everyone supports and helps one another
12. Teach how to create a WOW experience for all new clients or customers
13. Teach how to create a second visit experience that encourages referrals
14. Teach collection procedures
15. Teach how to self-motivate
These are the basic fundamental skills that your support staff must master. For them to master it you or someone else must train them. Invest the necessary time and money to train your staff because a well-trained staff will pay you dividends for years to come.
