Have you ever wondered how understanding your team's instinctive problem-solving styles could transform your leadership and enhance collaboration?  In this episode, I had a conversation with Niki Ramirez from HR Answers about just that. We explored the Kolbe A™ Index and its impact on group practice leadership teams. Join our conversation to learn more about: The essence of the Kolbe A™ Index and how it identifies our natural instincts for taking action. An overview of the four action modes defined by the Kolbe A™ Index that influence our problem-solving approaches. Personal reflections on our own Kolbe results and the insights gained from them. The benefits that group practice owners can reap by acknowledging and valuing the diverse instinctive strengths of their teams. Nikki's expert advice on how to effectively integrate Kolbe assessments into team development for a more inclusive and dynamic work environment. My chat with Nikki was not only insightful but also a testament to the power of embracing the unique talents within our teams. I'm convinced that leaders who leverage tools like the Kolbe A™ Index are well on their way to fostering a more collaborative and successful practice. Thanks for listening! Like what you heard?

Nikki is celebrating a sales success story today with a member of the Sales Maven Society, Niki Ramirez. Niki is the founder and principal consultant at HR Answers, a human resource consulting firm that specializes in providing support and HR guidance to small business leaders. Listen as Niki shares the challenge she came to Nikki with around her speaking engagements and how to connect with people to create a future sale, plus much more on this episode of the Sales Maven Show. Nikki helped Niki follow a process in preparing the people who were in her sessions to be ready for an offer at the end by sprinkling in important information language as a lead-up to the offer. Nikki believes that it's important to plant seeds while still following the rules of no selling from the stage, allowing people to take the next step with you. Niki shares that once they determined her strategy, she invited people to join the list and join her community. She says that 18 to 20 percent of the people at her conferences sign up to be on her mailing list, and she has also implemented donating to a local charity for every person who signs up to her email list. Then she makes a blanket donation to the charity. Niki also talks about Nikki's advice to have different offers ready to meet a prospective client's needs. Niki believes some benefits she has received from being a part of the Sales Maven Society are that it has made it so that she doesn't have to think about what to ask because there are so many smart people already asking the questions. Having access to the materials, recorded training, and the how-tos have made it so that she can make a checklist of things she is working on to improve her techniques is another big plus.

When you think of an employee manual, you probably think of a rigorous handbook that weighs a ton. But, employee manuals have come a long way since then and can prove to be incredibly useful in our businesses. We often hear of CEO’s in the entrepreneurial world who are reluctant or even fearful of dealing with people issues. Rather than overcoming those fears, they keep them bottled up and stay in the chaotic mode of overwhelm far longer than they should. Little do they know that a lot of their problems can be solved with help from an employee manual that includes a few key HR policies. An employee manual can provide you with the confidence to answer your team’s questions while also empowering your team to discover their own answers inside its pages. On this episode of the podcast, Shelli Warren talks to Niki Ramirez about why an employee manual is one of your most powerful tools as a CEO. Niki is the Founder and Principal Consultant at HRAnswers.org, a firm dedicated to providing progressive, practical human resources and guidance that leaves an impact on small business success.
