Quotes:
“I record the call and just let my client braindump what each team member does and their needs, and from there I figure out what process we need to document for our SOPs.”
“It can be a process, but we get it figured out and we start writing the SOPs. Once clients see their workflows written out, they’re more on board with [why SOPs are so important].”
“Carrie knows me so well that she knows what I’ll be procrastinating on while she’s gone. She has other people on her team slacking me.”
