This Week’s Mastermind Discussion

On this week’s call, we discussed the question: How are you conducting “strategic” assessments and planning for your organization?

Participants shared their best ideas, including:

  • End-of-the-year surveys for the organization:

    • Surveying what’s working/not working in coaching and training

    • What systems, tools, tech, products, and services are agents using

    • Evaluating tools and initiatives to identify improvements, eliminations or missing resources

    • Encouraging agents to assess/survey by showing we are doing the same thing

    • Survey in person as part of a lunch/meeting discussion

    • Use Jotform or Microsoft Forms

    • Share results with decision-makers to adjust action plans and budgets

    • Conducting Department specific surveys

    • Engaging Outside services like T360 or other consultants for objective views

  • Doing “Financial Fridays”:

    • Reviewing office/company financials based on growth priorities every week

    • Ensuring alignment between spending and strategic objectives

    • Comparing current financial performance to year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter trends to see trends and patterns

Thanks to everyone for contributing their great ideas to the Mastermind conversation!
