The COO is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the business and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. This includes managing internal operations, such as finance, human resources, and IT, as well as external operations, such as sales and marketing. Hiring a great COO can have a significant impact on the growth and success of a company. A strong COO will have a deep understanding of the industry and the company's operations and will be able to identify areas for improvement and implement effective strategies to drive growth.

For this episode, David is joined by Nick Weiksner who is CEO of South Col, which is described as an accelerator fund partnering with E-commerce businesses to help founders, pick it up, make it grow, and then get a successful exit. Nick explains how South Col does this and what entrepreneurs should look for in an investor partner. KEY TAKEAWAYS South Col is the last face of Mount Everest, a hard face that must be climbed to reach the summit. South Col acts as a kind of Sherpa to carry some of the stuff for entrepreneurs who are pushing their businesses to reach the peak of performance, so they can exit and sell for the best price. Once you have made a business decision, get it done and don't look back. If a company is not communicating effectively, that issue can be fixed in just a few months. Nick only collaborates with entrepreneurs who have something that they care passionately about, a strong purpose. Be crystal clear on your niche, and your focus. Exhaust it before you move on to something else. Be honest with potential investor partners about what you need. If you need capital, don´t be shy about asking for it. If you need advice and support, make sure that regular contact is scheduled. Typically, it takes a year to get a business ready for sale. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can continue growing your underlying business, but you have to have something transformative,' ‘I'm driven by data.' ‘I've never run my lemonade stand the way I want to run it. I've always run it, with outside investors, there's a board.'

Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see.

How Mr. Mo Changed the Game for Broad River Retail

In the third episode of the Business Operating Systems series, host Charlie Malouf welcomes back Stacey McCormick and Carl Hillesland to discuss the transformative impact of Mr. Mo, the Retail Performance team's business operating system. Introduced in late October 2021, Mr. Mo powered the Retail Performance team to achieve record results in 2022 by instilling an increased cadence of accountability and increasing trust. In this episode, Stacey and Carl walk through their approach to implementating Mr. Mo; recount the roles each of them played; discuss their healthy and vigorous debates; and review the key milestones that they achieved along the way. They discuss the impact of measuring three main behaviors (Using 3X Tool, Draw the Room, and conducting a quality Comfort Test) to drive exponential results. And they discuss how Mr. Mo led to several iterations and improvements of their most critical sales processes. For instance, they have had seven different iterations of the 3X tool, and v8 is in the process of launching now. They have retooled the Comfort Test process twice since launching Mr. Mo. And, they have introduced multiple additions and enhancements to the C4 sales process, such as the Purposeful Reapproach. The episode delves into how the indoctrination of Mr. Mo led to notable uplifts across the board in their Retail KPIs in 2022, including the following: - Highest Sales per Guest (SPG) in a single year that the Company had ever had - Highest Revenue Volume Year - Highest Conversion Rate - Highest Average Ticket (by far!) - Highest Sleep SPG - Highest Secret Sauce (effective net margin) - Highest # of Experts Stacey describes how the impact of Mr. Mo helped them overcome a challenging economic year for the retail furniture industry in 2023. When many other retailers were struggling or suffering through double digit declines, we experienced a record year in every single measurable KPI that we control and impact, except for one, in 2023. That speaks to the power and impact of Mr. Mo and an established Operating System within a Company or department. Topics and takeaways in this episode include: - Visionary - Integrator relationship - Goal-Setting changes in terms of raising the floor of performance instead of shooting for the moon. Instead of raising the ceiling, raise the floor. - Burning the Boats - Offense sells tickets - Rising tide lifts all boats - Business Operating System helps you get today done while keeping an eye on the long-term benefit - Behaviors drive beliefs - Framework for solving unknown problems when they manifest - In reference to the October 2023 Cyber Event incident: in times of uncertainty, you need to increase your communication. - Your leadership either creates confidence or chaos. Their adaptation of Mr. Mo facilitated leadership development and empowered employees, especially during challenges like a major cyber incident in 2023. The ethos of playing the "infinite game" in business, as per Simon Sinek, and fostering collaboration across departments were key themes explored, demonstrating the long-term success of Mr. Mo at Broad River Retail. Stacey and Carl discuss some of the books that they have read along with their Senior Retail Leadership Team that have helped shape their framework by introducing tools from EOS such as "rocks" and the rigorous L10 meeting structure, which has elevated the senior retail leadership team's understansing of the concepts within Mr. Mo.

Carl, an EOS implementer, shares his journey from multi-unit leadership to embracing EOS to drive high performance in teams, citing his experience at Ashley Furniture to illustrate the necessity of systems for scalable success. The trio considers various operating systems like Rhythm Systems, Pinnacle, and introduces Mr. Mo, a business chassis employed within Broad River Retail.

She started the company after spinning up a 7-figure law firm in under 2 years and receiving requests for help from other law firm owners for help. That was when Brooke began to understand the apprehension lawyers felt around the numbers in their business, and how rarely they used data in their decision-making process. As Cathcap grew and helped more than 200 firms, she began to see a trend between the firms that excelled and the ones that just survived - and that difference was implementing EOS. After years of trying to find great EOS coaches who understood the legal industry, Brooke ultimately became an EOS Implementer and now helps law firms achieve all their goals. Brooke is an international speaker, international best-selling author, and coach whose down to earth actionable advice has helped hundreds of lawyers.

For this episode, David is joined by Laura Johns the CEO and founder of The Business Grower. Currently, her company has 50 clients, for whom she and her team provide a wide range of marketing support and services that enable them to grow fast and sustainably. They do everything from creating a plan to establishing and scaling social, websites, branding, ads and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS For many businesses specialization is a fast way to grow. Work out what has been the most profitable, impactful and fun work, and then focus on those services or products. Always track what you are doing. Map out your touch points and keep a record of your journey with each client. Nobody is on social media to see your product, they want contact with people. Your social channels need to feel to people like they are in the room with your team. Most of your social media posts should be about serving your customers rather than selling your products. Strong processes are essential. Get your hiring right. Skill tests will help with this. Be clear about what you expect from people. Each team member should have their own KPI. Strong values are essential. Trust yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘My goal is to truly equip them to make better decisions for their businesses.' ‘Live in honesty, in integrity.' ‘The data will tell you whether or not you're making an impact.' ‘Getting the right people in the right seats is a huge focus of mine.'

A successful business requires a business mentality. If you want to succeed in your business, you need to think like one. Learn how to lead, not just how to work. This is how Tommy Mello made his career soar. The focus of his leadership development was not on how to solve problems but on how to improve his leadership abilities. Your mindset should be focused on cultivating your team. For him, he can hire a subject matter expert to solve problems he cannot solve. Rather than being ashamed, he encourages us to ask for help and find the best people for the job. The end goal should be to manage these people and grow your business by managing them, not to do everything yourself. In today's episode, we discuss leadership, culture, marketing systems, and recruiting the right people for your business. Be inspired by Tommy Mello's story and learn how he elevated his business. This episode provides you with an inside look at his secrets and strategy. Tommy Mello owns A1 garage door service. Six years ago, he began his podcast to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. He is a note-taker, and every time something comes up in his head, he writes about it. His success inspired him to write the first book Home Service Millionaire, and he then wrote Elevate, a book about attracting and developing a winning team. You can buy his book using this link: www.elevateandwin.com/keith “I never call people my employees. I like to call them internal customers. I like to call them my coworkers. I like to call them my team.” - Tommy Mello. Topics Covered: 0:33 - “Tommy Mello built a home service business specifically in the garage door industry from scratch up to 30 million 50 million, and now they're doing 200 million this year. He has over 700 employees.” Introduction to Tommy Mello. 2:04 - “I love what I do, man, and I'm opening up doors. The first thing I start with every speech I do is I'm in the garage for business. I'm in 23 states. If you like what we do, use our company, and see how we do things, but also have a graduate company looking to partner up with a great company that's going to take care of your internal customers, that's us. So at building little marketers out there. It's amazing what happens when you give. It's the byproduct of giving just good things happen.” Tommy shares how he got started in the business. He never refers to his employees as employees; he calls them his team. It's that kind of approach that builds a great leadership team. 7:27 - |You guys are welcome to see my price book. And they never knew what he was doing so much better. While he was marketing to the right customers at the right time. He was branded correctly, and he didn't have turnover. And so you got to pay your people the right amount. Otherwise, your guy quits who's running the warranty call for the customer. They're not there who's running on weekends and nights To the holidays, oh, they're not there because they didn't treat my employees right. They didn't pay them appropriately to a living wage, they weren't able to be homeowners. So they had to move farther out away from the city. And now they can't work for me because they didn't make enough money. So I think the byproduct of taking care of people is your customers get handled in the same day service, they got the right parts, they got a trained technician that cares.” Paying your employees appropriately was Tommy's main point. A good salary won't make them leave you. It is the byproduct of paying people what they are worth that they provide good customer service. Therefore, you must set your price high enough to cover the cost. 12:35 - “A lot of times when I was smaller and business, I thought I was saving money by buying used trucks and not hiring the best and not getting the best trainers. And I thought I'd just help. But then I realized that I was actually losing money because things weren't hitting the finish line, and things weren't getting done. And it was kind of a hodgepodge put together. And all these ideas without hiring the best consultants, without reading books, without listening to great podcasts, without getting learning at great speaking events. I realized I was actually kind of shooting myself in the foot. I was actually making my life harder. And I thought I was going to be an expert at everything, but I became a jack of all trades, a master of none. Then I started investing in myself and everybody around me. And that conclusion has been very positive.” Tommy admits that he can't do everything by himself. His secret to success is hiring the best of the best. Having a jack-of-all-trades approach won't help you succeed. It's important to stay on track with your schedule. Leadership skills can be improved by recognizing your weaknesses. 20:10 - “ I never want to be the bad guy. I'm not a good, bad guy. I'm not good at firing people. In fact, I'm probably too lenient on second or third chances. But I've really empowered my team. And I think that that's something that most business owners fail out.” Don't be afraid to make big decisions and praise those around you. Encourage your team to make their own decisions and recognize their achievements. 38:06 - “I learned the simple formula without a budget without numbers. How much are you spending as a percentage of revenue on marketing? And if it balloons for one month, why? what's working and what's not, when you can reinvest the things that are working all the time, and the evidence is clear, because you've got data integrity to make sure the numbers are right, then it's basically a compass. And you just got to follow TrueNorth to get where you want to go. And the CRM and the accounting tools allow you to do this, but a lot of people go accounting or smiling. I don't want to budget. It's too much work. And it is a lot of work. It's a lot of work to get it right. But when it is right, you'll find the Holy Grail.” Tommy loves numbers, he's always calculating and computing. When it comes to business, numbers are very important to him. He ensures they meet their monthly KPIs. Every department maintains a scorecard to track performance. 46:12 - “I want to see their six-month plan, their one-year plan, their three-year plan, their five-year plan, and then I want to show them how it could help them hit their goals. Same thing with vendors, the same thing with anybody. And that's the whole meaning of the word Elevate. You get to win when they win. And it doesn't need to be losers.” Tommy explains why he wrote Elevate and what the book title means to him. Key Takeaways: “People used to talk about me on Facebook before the podcast and say he's our villain. He is such a prick. He comes into our market. He takes our employees. He raises prices, and he charges too much. And others like, well, Tommy's a pretty good guy. I'm making a lot more money now. The employees are happier. My clients are happier, and my vendors are happier because our product mix is better. So they all won. And that's the hard part for people to comprehend. And it just doesn't make sense. But it works.” - Tommy Mello “I really believe these things, and I just have you got an opportunity to grow to be whatever you want. I'm here to help you get to where you want to be. I want to know your dreams, your goals, and what you want out of life. And if we could work on these together, what do I get out of it? Number one, I love homeowners. We had two new homeowners last week. We got a new kid that came into the Awan family two weeks ago. It's amazing. Right now, yesterday, my guy rest of the hospital's wife's pregnant. I don't know if she has had the baby yet. But I love this stuff. So that's amazing. But what's also amazing about it is when they're winning, I'm winning. I tell them if their dreams are coming true, I know mine are. My dream has to be big enough for all your guys' dreams to fit inside. So when I watch every one of your dreams start to come true. The byproduct is I know, I know, I'm successful when you guys are hitting your goals because the way I designed the pay structures is it's inevitably that outcome.” - Tommy Mello Connect with Tommy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thomasmello/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1341478446?ign-itscg=30200&ign-itsct=lt_p Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialtommymello/ Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@officialtommymello YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC95oOLvDda4V6LdyRoHb3w LindkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommymello/ Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas Resources Mentioned: The Home Service Expert: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-home-service-expert-podcast/id1341478446 Elevate: Build a Business Where Everybody Wins: https://www.amazon.com/Elevate-Build-Business-Where-Everybody/dp/B0BWSNBQZV HVAC Spells Wealth: https://www.amazon.com/HVAC-Spells-Wealth-Ron-Smith/dp/142431481X Rocket Fuel: The One Essential Combination That Will Get You More of What You Want from Your Business: https://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Fuel-Essential-Combination-Business/dp/1942952317 Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business: https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661837 Home Service Millionaire: https://homeservicemillionaire.com/ Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less: https://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137382 The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results:https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-Results/dp/1885167776Surprisingly-Extraordinary-Results/dp/1885167776 Come Up for Air: https://www.amazon.com/Come-Up-Air-Leverage-Drowning/dp/140024384X The Infinite Game: https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Game-Simon-Sinek/dp/073521350X A1 Garage Door Service: https://a1garage.com/ Elevate: www.elevateandwin.com/keith Jobber: https://getjobber.com/im/ambassador-referral/?gspk=a2VpdGhrYWxmYXM4NTIx&gsxid=Rs6pwtznLDcs 7 Steps To Marketing Your Business: https://www.keithkalfas.com/7steps
