The other thing I want to talk about today, and hopefully this will give you guys some ideas, but one of my favorite books that I’ve read recently is a book called "Rework", by Jason Fried and the team over at 37 Signals. So far, in less than a day now of results, that’s going really, really well, so I'm intrigued and excited to watch what's going to happen over the next little while. Until we sell out, this is the new price point.

Eventually it will be something that we have full production runs of, and at that point, the price will be X, but right now, because this is a newer thing, we want more case-based success stories. I can't remember exactly how the script went as I'm sitting here in my car, but we did a couple of tweaks with the script, talking about how it was rare.

We talked about that and basically said, "Hey, this is a trial run. On our phone number, if you'll call in to order, we have a voice message thing that we're doing, and we are also tweaking the copy on the page, which basically just talks about the fact that the supplement is rare right now, which is true because we ordered our last batch of whatever it was, and they're almost gone, so we spoke to that. We decided to test something in the last day or so, and I don't have extensive results yet to show you guys, but so far the numbers look really good. I'm not so good with timing and all of that kind of stuff, so all sorts of headaches has been happening. If I put in an order today, six weeks later is when we'll get the bottles back in, so it's a huge timing issue. When we went back, we ordered twenty-five hundred bottles, and it sold out, so then we went back and got another thing, but the thing that's annoying is that we have a six-week delay before the next order comes in. When we first launched, we had no idea if it was going to sell, so we ordered a thousand bottles, and it sold really well. We recently launched a new supplement, and if anyone's ever been in the settlement business, I'm learning all of the headaches that come with the inventory management and stuff like that. Yesterday I talked about the power of things being rare in your business, and so when I was sitting there that day when I got to the office, I was thinking about how I could use that on anything I'm working on right now. It was the thought process I’m going through. One of my buddy’s kids is in town and wanted me to beat up on him a little bit, so I’m driving there, but I just had some ideas I wanted to let you guys have some fun with. I’m actually driving to go to wrestling practice right now. Right now I’m actually not driving to the office. It was super corny, super cheesy, but it sounded like a cool radio show, and so we’re going to use it for a while. We hired this dude to make an intro,” so I listened to it. He was going and he was putting up the first podcast, getting it all installed on iTunes, making it all work, and he was like, “Hey, do you want to use that intro we had done about four years ago for the ‘Marketing in Your Car’ podcast?” and I was like, “Oh, yeah, I forgot. If you listened to the first podcast yesterday, I told you I’d been talking about doing this for 4 years, and I was having my brother do my audio/video stuff. I want to welcome you back to the “Marketing in Your Car” podcast.

It also highlights the importance of good processes and standardisation so that wastage through poor quality is a thing of the past.
It focuses on improved communication and empowerment of staff so that problems can be resolved without having to be escalated to upper management first. However, adding just a few layers of management, or a few dozen people to a business can change the way it communicates and obscure what was once clear.ĭid you know that on average, upper management are only aware of 4% of problems facing staff and customers? Did you know how much poor quality was costing your business? Lean Six Sigma is a proven business improvement approach that can help us tackle both of these issues. In small businesses, where teams are in single figures, it’s relatively easy to stay informed of problems and understand the full picture when it comes to poor quality. As businesses grow, the number of layers between frontline staff and those running the organisation increase.
