EPISODE 117: Discover the secrets to unlocking massive business growth in our latest podcast episode! Strategy Sprints founder and CEO Simon Severino joins the boys on the podcast this week to dive into the power of delegation, using A.I. to streamline processes, and the benefits of daily flow. During 19 years of entrepreneurship, Simon has executed hundreds of go-to-market strategies with B2B teams around the globe. Having scaled his own consultancy, Simon has retired from operations and now became an investor, helping thousands of entrepreneurs reach financial freedom and have a business that runs without being dependent on them. Simon understands the value of time and just what a rare commodity it is for business owners trying to create some separation from their businesses. It's a critical goal, says Simon, because visionaries can't do their best work if they're mired IN the business rather than working ON the business. There are ways to create space while continuing on a trajectory of growth, but of course not without certain compensations. That's where Simon's team comes in, along with his helpful compendium: “Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business.” Episode links: Simon Severino on Instagram Strategy Sprints website Strategy Sprints on Instagram Strategy Sprints on YouTube Strategy Sprints on Twitter Strategy Sprints Facebook Page Where to find us: Show Hosts: @joshlevinefitness & @travishawkesmedia  - CONTACT FOR COACHING & MEDIA!

What do wealthy and successful people have in common? Mastering the art of organization and efficiency. Processes are a key ingredient to their success. If you want to join their ranks, then you need to start optimizing your own processes. Don't worry—it's not as daunting as it sounds!Simon Severino, the author of Strategy Sprints, joins me to talk about optimizing your processes and accelerating growth to create an agile, successful business.Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation:Optimize your processesBe agileOffer people what they needUse emails for salesGo on a vacationEpisode Highlights:[04:26] The Importance of ProcessesThe first years of running a business aren't fun. You want to have zero people risk, and you can do that by creating great processes. Break down your processes with these steps: Find out what's working and what's not. Map out what's working and create the core valuation process. Pick one to turn into the flagship offer. Optimize it every week.[09:02] Strategy Sprints MethodThe Strategy Sprints method aims to double your revenue in 90 days by simplifying what you do and scaling what's working. It entails mapping your current value creation system and improving the sales in each of those elements. [11:04] Being AgileAgility means being able to change as quickly as the market is changing. Offer people what they need. Send out emails multiple times a week. Aim for an open rate of 45% and a 3% click rate.Social media is a marketing instrument, so use it only for awareness. Warm emails, cold emails, and cold calling are the best tools to use for sales.[27:10] Optimizing Sales Funnels Do you have multiple sales funnels? Pick one problem of one customer segment, then start optimizing a sales machine for 90 days. When you get 50% conversion rates and consistent cash flow, you can stack a second problem or additional offer.[33:48] Why You Need a VacationVacations can be used to see how well your systems and processes are running when left on their own. Are they self-correcting and self-adapting mechanisms? Or are they dependent on you? If it's the latter, then it's not scalable.[33:48] How to Optimize ProcessesPick one offer and optimize it for the next 90 days. Follow these steps: describe the three main pain points, figure out the main problem, create an offer, map out how to get them interested and engaged, put together an email list and communicate consistently.Notable quotes from the Episode: [05:37] “You cannot do 50k, 60k, 100k per month by doing the same things. So we have to help you write down what you're doing. Systemize it.”[13:49] “Offer the people that you are here to serve the one thing that they need.”[26:02] “Sales is commercial teaching.”Resources Mentioned:Strategy Sprints by Simon SeverinoConnect with Wyatt Graves: LinkedIn | WebsiteThe Mentee Podcast: Website |

Simon Severino studied philosophy at the University of Vienna and later became a business coach at a global consultancy. Two decades of experience led him to found his own consulting firm, through which he now advises business leaders about market strategy via his Strategy SprintsTM Method. He and Tom Fox explore his signature methodology and how it translates into creating value in the compliance space. The Problem of Strategy Simon tells Tom that the problem was how to create strategy. There are tools to analyze the market and figure out how to enter it. However, the tools to build an organized, aligned team that gets feedback quickly were missing. Since the executive team is removed from the market, they don't have closed loops. "For the last 15 years, I've been obsessed with just building that [tool],” Simon comments. “How can an executive team have an agile way of doing things so it feels like a sports team? That's what I've been building. That's now the Strategy SprintsTM Method and the Strategy SprintsTM Company and the Strategy SprintsTM product, which is 90 days coaching of executives." The Chain of Value Creation “I always see the whole chain of value creation or the chain that really matters,” Simon says. The chain doesn't stop at his clients; their clients are part of the chain as well. He says that compliance officers should consider how they can become a valuable contribution to the whole chain. He suggests that they see themselves as business partners. “Always see yourself as a business partner of your internal colleagues and… everybody serves the client out there.” Tom responds that putting the customer first translates into greater profitability. It means you become a business generator instead of a cost center, he tells Simon. They discuss Peter Drucker's contribution to the practice of management, and how he influenced Simon's work. “My whole work is Peter Drucker's philosophy plus agile methods for the digital age,” Simon comments. The concept of efficiency vs effectiveness is one of Drucker's principles he adopts: “Spend more time on effectiveness, finding out what's the right thing to do in the first place.” Strategy SprintsTM  Tom asks Simon to talk about the key points in his book Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business. Simon responds that it's about asking yourself what is the right thing to do now. In today's digital age, with broken supply chains and volatile markets, it can be difficult to make decisions. The book provides case studies and blueprints for taking the right actions in various areas like operations, marketing, sales, hiring, and client onboarding. Many CEOS today are talking about how to renegotiate contracts so that they reduce the risk of something going wrong. They can do this by splitting the risk and making sure that costs are variable instead of fixed. This will help them be more prepared if something does happen. “Risk management is the highest art form when you run a business because everything is risk/reward ratio,” Simon comments. “You have to become very good at weighted probabilities.” He explains why he thinks Elon Musk is a master of risk management, and why it's the safer way to build a business.

Why do so many business owners spend time creating strategy, only to put it on the shelf?   Strategies can't help your business grow unless they've been fully integrated into the decision-making process, and are part of the daily running of the business. Without a strategy, time is wasted, teams are out of alignment, and vital revenue is lost or misspent. So what's happening? Today we sit down with Simon Severino, the Founder of the Strategy Sprints Method and author of Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business. This method focuses on three strategies, three habits, and three numbers to double the revenue of B2B businesses with 90 days of coaching. We start with the origin of The Strategy Sprints Method as Simon shares how his 17 years working as a strategy advisor left him feeling like there was something missing. Only after he started his own business did he become frustrated and see what the market needed. As many entrepreneurs do he looked back into his career to find the tools that worked and started to build the Strategy Sprints Method. Simon explains how his method of three strategies, three habits, 3 numbers and 274 prebuild modules gives clients the tools they need to deploy a strategy in a manner that can move the company forward faster, bring teams into alignment on a single sheet of paper, and help them learn faster than the competition. In addition, we learn how Simon uses his own strategy within his company to avoid the many pitfalls that take executives off track and allow them to get overwhelmed, which often leads to burnout. He shares how having hard checks in place can save you from jumping into new trends that everyone else is doing but won't actually have a positive impact on your business. If you're seeking a strategy for your B2B business and want to increase revenue this might just be what you need. Three Key Takeaways: *  Thought Leadership strategies need to offer clients a way to move forward that they can understand and buy into. *  Thought Leadership tools need to be accompanied by a strategy to deploy them. A good tool without an instruction manual will not be used. *  Don't fall into the trap of excitement around new technology and trends. Analyze their usefulness, before committing time or money.

If you've become the bottleneck holding your business venture back, this episode of The All-In Podcast is for you. Simon Severino, founder of Strategy Sprints, shares the coaching methodology he deploys to help entrepreneurs free up time and avoid common mistakes – especially in seasons of growth. He highlights some of the predictable stumbling blocks and explains how Strategy Sprints tools address challenges like employee burnout, customer service overwhelm, stalled onboarding or erratic sales and inventory flow. Simon understands the value of time and just what a rare commodity it is for entrepreneurs trying to create some separation from their businesses. It's a critical goal, says Simon, because visionaries can't do their best work if they're mired IN the business rather than working ON the business. There are ways to create space while continuing on a trajectory of growth, but of course not without certain compensations. That's where Simon's team comes in, along with his helpful compendium: "Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business."

If your business is struggling to keep pace with the rapidly changing digital landscape, today's episode would teach you how the agile method of working was invented to help you overcome it.Join Mike in this episode of the Advance Podcast as he interviews Simon Severino, a Business Strategy Advisor for SaaS or Services Businesses. Simon shares the common bottlenecks entrepreneurs experience in their journeys and how to overcome them using the methods explained in his book, Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business. Discussing first-hand the essential habits and methodologies for business growth, acceleration, and development, Simon helps you prepare for the highly volatile, high rate of change working environment using the modern agile ways of working.EPISODE 14 SUMMARY & HIGHLIGHTSWhat are some habits you can implement to overcome the common bottlenecks experienced by entrepreneurs in their journey?06:55Allocating time for the right thing - Have a daily habit, a weekly habit, and a monthly habit. Your daily habit reflects on how you're allocating your time.08:05The weekly habit is reflecting on the information – creating a dashboard of marketing numbers, sales numbers, and others from different departments.10:10The monthly habit is to be your strategy call. Think: Are you doing the right thing at the right pace? What are your competitors doing? What else can your customers do if they don't work with you? How do you distinguish speed and velocity?13:08Velocity means speed including direction. The distinction intends to ask: how many people have a clear vision of where they're heading in the next three years? Without vision, you might be running a super-fast marathon in the wrong direction. Have your vision written down for the next three years, ninety days.What are the benefits of having your vision written down?10:11Simplification, de-risking, revenue increase, and increase in employee motivation are a few of the many benefits of writing down your vision for the next few weeks, months, and years. How do you distinguish agile and rigid methods?25:49Agile methods help you combine or recombine the same elements whenever they are needed, and it's simple to do so. Agility means you have the same rate of change inside as outside. If your rate of change inside is lower than the rate of change outside, then you are not agile; you are rigid. You'll encounter problems in the supply chain, geopolitics, market volatility, and the like, meaning you won't be able to navigate the business for longer.How do you make the big decisions in life?30:04Stay in nature for as long as you want without a goal. Let the answer come to you in a moment of clarity. Center yourself; when you have clarity, you get to sprint from there.QUOTES05:19-05:29“Sprint is a very specific method. It focuses on agility and resilience because that's what you need in tough times.”RESOURCES MENTIONED ON THE PODCASTBook: Strategy Sprints: 12 Ways to Accelerate Growth for an Agile Business by Simon SeverinoCONNECT WITH SIMONLinkedInCONNECT WITH MIKELinkedIn

The Importance of Adopting an Agile Business Process Ft. Simon Severino Agile is not exclusively for the engineering and product department. The method enables you to fall in love with the problem, not the solution. Simon takes us through "the three growth levers," shortening the path to "wow," and how to turn fixed costs into variable costs.    Key Takeaways:  Verify and compare measurable metrics.  Daily, weekly, and monthly metrics that represent progress and/or regress, such as the number of form submissions, website visits, conversions, etc.    Eliminate the silos within your business.  Whether it's a RevOps process or any other operational structure, keeping your business from siloing is critical. Silos create undesirable division. It "divides" a business and creates barriers that make it difficult to work together as a single unit.  Run tests constantly in parallel.  Always be Testing (AbT). Everything is a work in progress and nothing is perfect. there is always room for improvement so be sure to be testing all measurables within your organization to ensure there aren't points of failure or blockages present.    About Simon  Simon Severino is the author of "Strategy Sprints" & "Habits of Success," CEO of global consultancy Strategy Sprints, creator of the "Strategy Sprints Method," seen in Forbes & Entrepreneur Magazine, member of the SVBS Silicon Valley Blockchain Society, and the #1 speaker on agile strategy and agile sales.   Feel free to connect with Simon Severino or Rob Turley on LinkedIn or follow @strategysprints or @RobTurley2 on Twitter!  #DTRHpodcast #Agile #ProcessImprovement #Operations #SalesOps #RevOps #SalesEnablement #TechStack #AgileSales

• Simon Severino says a modest goal is to double sales within 90 days • “I help executives with ‘go to market'” (Total Recorded Time is 14:40) Succeeding in business is often compared to running a marathon. But Simon Severino says before winning marathons, runners need to master running sprints. He puts that philosophy into business strategies that he and his company teach to entrepreneurs. Ask Simon Severino what he does for a living and he'll tell you, “I help executives with ‘go to market.'” He says small business owners can see their revenue “double in 90 days” by following his system os making regular small improvements in products and services. To do that, companies need to better align operations and sales, he says, as well as optimizing marketing. Too often, Mr. Severino says, businesses put marketing first, leading to disappointed customers. He joins us for this Bizgnus Podcast via Zoom from his offices in Vienna, Austria.
