I spent 2 years looking at 100s of “systems” to help my businesses run better.
I found 7 that are the best at solving the problems every business has.
They have transformed my businesses, career, and life by allowing me to focus 100% on pleasing my customers.
Here they are!

PROCESS/STRATEGY/VISON/ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
- EOS/Traction
- Cost: $17.99 for a book.
It is a very practical guide that solves all of these for an SMB.
Think of it as "business by worksheet."
Guides you from a 10-year big vision down to what you& #39;re doing each week.

MARKETING
-Storybrand
-Cost: $12.99 book.
What EOS does for its areas, Storybrand does for marketing.
Think of it as "marketing by worksheet."
It uses the same Hero& #39;s Journey (think Star Wars) that resonates with everyone.
Then turns that into highly effective marketing.

HIRING TOP TALENT
-Topgrading
-Cost: $14.99 book.
This is the "contrarian& #39;s hiring methodology".
It takes all the common, broken ideas in hiring and does the opposite.
You get a process that only high performers get through.
(Caveat: great ideas but some a bit dated.)

PERSONALITY ASSESSMENTS
-Culture Index
-Cost: Thousands/yr (sorry)
Unlike Meyers-Briggs, DISC, etc -- it& #39;s scientifically backed.
So you can use it in hiring.
It& #39;s also valuable as you try to "meet your employees where they are."
We& #39;re all unique special flowers after all :-)

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION MEASUREMENT
-Net Promoter Score
-Cost: $16.57 book
All the customer satisfaction systems are broken.
NPS is just the least broken one.
The good news it& #39;s gotten really easy to implement with all of the Saas systems out there.
