The SOP system my clients and I use
easy plug and play
Hey.
If you want to join our free community, where I’ll give you exclusive information and training you find anywhere else, click here
In today’s newsletter we will go over the following:
The SOP Plug-N-Play system I use for myself and my clients
How you should use it
Why this is important
And a whole lot more
Operational Idea of the Week
Use your client journey to analyze where you can delegate, eliminate, and automate tasks in your agency to save yourself more and more time
This should be a weekly task where you find out what you do for each client for fulfillment and remove the fluff, then delegate or automation
This gives you more time to focus on acquisition
Deep Dive
Let’s talk about SOPs
I look at SOPs in two ways
Step by step process
Frameworks to have the team adopt
Hormozi and a few other big people in the space often talk about how useless SOPs are, and I agree
Look at it this way, if you hire a CMO, are you going to give them SOPs?
Probably not, because they understand how to do things well
Chances are when you hire these key posistions you won’t need to give them SOPs
Instead you might give them frameworks on how your company does things
The culture you have and so on
Rarely are SOPs needed for c suite and executive roles
SOPs are really only needed for those that are starting out and hire someone like a VA, where they need to understand how you go about doing the task
But you can’t always give them SOPs, you can’t give them plug and play step by steps all the time
Rather you should give them the key SOPs and frameworks
And if they have good problem solving skills and proper skills for that role, they’ll be able to actually go about doing that role well
I’ve worked with companies that don’t do SOPs and just frameworks
And companies that give step by steps and SOPs
And they both work well
But most times the involvement needed when you give them the frameworks are less compared to the latter
So have this principle in mind when going about what SOPs you need in the moment
Here is how I go about building SOPs:
What are we teaching? Is there a framework I can give instead that will not need me to make an SOP?
If we need an SOP go over a 5 minute concise process as to what we are teaching, your team doesn’t want to watch 30 minute SOPs unless its highly relevant and valuable
Record a loom video going over the SOP
Once finished recording the SOP, have it write you a SOP with the loom ai feature
Then toss the SOP into notion, airtable, or where you house your SOPs
And thats it rinse and repeat over and over again
You can also look back at the SOP a week later and see if it was valuable or not
If it wasn’t then go back and make it even better
The better a SOP is the better understanding your team will have
Don’t make a useless SOP where you just ramble for 20 minutes of total nonsense
This is a very easy and simple process you can follow
Let me know how you get on with this
