The 6 Essential Steps to Implementing Any New Idea For Your Business
Ever read a thought provoking book or attended a motivational seminar or marketing meeting, excited to return back to use tons of new ideas that you know will have a tremendous impact on the near future growth of one's business?

get more info is a couple of months later none of these ideas that you knew would make you more money and grow your company have already been implemented or were even tried, deemed a failure by your staff, abandoned and quickly forgotten.

Was it the idea that failed, or was it you that failed the idea because the owner and leader of one's company?

Earlier this week I was a guest at the Tony Robbins 4 Day "Business Mastery" Conference in Las Vegas. The conference featured Tony Robbins and included Chet Holmes (who wrote THE BEST Sales Machine and a number of other dynamic motivational, marketing, sales and operations related speakers, who captivated the the hall for four amazing days.

Whether they were the CEO of a big corporation, a dentist, small business operator, restaurant owner, mortgage broker, or solopreneur seeking to turn an idea into a new venture, everyone I spoke to on breaks spilled over with energy, excitement, ideas and innovation, that they knew would impact their business once implemented upon their return home.

The important question is, will they continue on their return this week and begin to implement what they learned, or will they be sucked back to their daily routine and fail to make the positive change they know will impact their future business? Appears like a simple question, however in reality, most can do nothing without out some form of coaching or consulting help to push them forward.

A common theme that lots of of the speakers emphasized was that any good plan that they took away from the conference would not succeed without six essential elements. These were:

One Thing At a Time
An Effective Implementation Plan
Policies and Procedures
Proper and Consistent Training
Unyielding Commitment
Accountability
One Thing At a Time!
To often we return from a conference and even read a book also it sparks a range of ideas that we desire to implement immediately. We all have been enthused and impose our new vision upon our company, with all the current best of intentions. What we end up getting though is confusion, natural resistance, inconsistency and in the long run no positive change.

Step one 1 is prioritize what you want to perform and follow the preceding steps to address one idea or improvement at a time. Once you have planned, implemented, trained and woven this new policy or procedure in to the fabric of one's organization, then move onto your next idea.

This requires some patience that many are unwilling to simply accept, but one successfully implemented policy or procedure that brings positive change to your organization, is worth a hundred great ideas which are never effectively implemented.

An Effective Implementation Plan

No matter if you are discussing a new online marketing strategy, sales presentation, changes in inventory control or expanding your product or service offering. It is advisable to plan it out, discuss and utilize the talent you have on your team and develop a plan that will reach your goal, while playing to the strengths of your organization.

Take time to get input and ideas from your own people because they are your greatest resource and so are critical to making any idea a profitable jump forward or perhaps a dismal failure for your company.

Consistent Policies and Procedures

Implementing a new online marketing strategy, product development, sales plan or operational initiative without clearly defined policies and procedures that support your time and effort is really a recipe for failure. You have to detail not only the target, but exactly the steps necessary to achieve it. Whether that is clearly a sales script for a new product, order filling procedure, how the phone is answered or the process that every new lead travels through the business, it all should be defined.

Here again your biggest and best resource gets your people involved with defining the simplest way to implement a plan and create the policy and procedures that will follow.

Proper and Consistent Training

This is a pit that many of us fall into when it comes to implementing change or even maintaining consistency within our organization as it grows. If we establish policies and procedures to steer our organization, but usually do not effectively train our people, educate new employees and re-enforce what has been taught on a regular basis, people will turn to either what they know or what's easiest.

Handing someone a new printed procedure for their policy manual isn't effective training. more info requires understanding, role playing and repetition. Effective training makes policy and procedures second nature and the natural reaction to a particular situation, whether that is sales, marketing, manufacturing, accounting or administration.

Unyielding Commitment

Chet Holmes calls this "Pig Headed Determination" in his book that I mentioned above. You can not implement anything that could have a meaningful longterm impact on your organization, unless you are committed and unwavering in your determination and expectations that the plan will be followed.

It is not unusual for a new sales or marketing plan to take months to bear fruit and the usual reaction of your sales team is to go back to what they know and take the road of least resistance. This is where you should remain firm, lead and hold your people accountable, that the procedures are followed and the outcomes are achieved.

Develop and review frequently metrics and reports to track and quantify that the plan has been followed as developed, implemented and trained.

Accountability

Talking about holding people accountable. The first person you should make accountable for any effort to be successful is yourself and that can be the hardest step in the process for some. If you do not have Unyielding Commitment to the plan, do not expect any one else to.

Excuse #1 1 that a lot of use when I discuss accountability is they do not have enough time to lead and manage the steps I have outlined above, but the reality is that as the owner, nobody requires them to create time and so they never do.

Think through what you ought to do to make sure that each one of these 6 steps are followed in order to achieve real growth and success for the business.

For Additional info could just mean commitment to better personal time management to facilitate implementation of a new idea. For others it could mean hiring a business coach to keep them focused, discuss strategy and help them through the procedure (even the best athletes have a coach). Maybe your company is to big to lead and manage the types of changes you intend to implement, which may mean outsourcing the process to a consulting group, who can facilitate all or the main process to have success.

The end result is that their is no excuse which should prevent you from driving forward to implement positive change in your organization, no matter the size of your organization, the market you are in or the existing state of the business enterprise economy.
