Why should you explore the Superabound Lean Business approach?

We can give you five good reasons. If they resonate with you then click here to get our free quick-start guide

1. Your team will be more Vision-aligned and supportive

 
A major challenge for non-lean organizations is that their departments are often siloed to a point that there is little collaboration and important changes come from on high (usually after a major issue is identified months or years after it began).

As a lean business, your teams are going to be smaller and the people on them will be able to collaborate effectively without 10 meetings a week trying to get everyone together. That means you can do more with less people because your team is ready to offer their skills and talents towards your very clean Vision.

2. You can avoid customer service disasters more easily

Having a lean business means you are closer to your customers and clients.

Instead of finding out there is an issue only when it becomes a huge client service problem (costing you time, trust and money) you will be among the first to know every time.

A lean business allows you to support your customer service folks in a way that makes them feel empowered and allows your clients to get the best possible treatment on everything from an email request to troubleshooting a bigger problem.

Lean companies have larger businesses beat on this almost always because the owners are closer to their customers and care deeply about those relationships.

3. Hiring isn't a headache

Lean businesses don't get lost trying to fill seats because they are more thoughtful about value and vision fit and working with folks who will compliment and add to team. 

Recently we supported a client to create their Lean Dream Team.

We have since watched this business owner experience less wasted time, money and energy training people who weren't a fit. Now they have a team of committed people who are a great fit and will be able to grow with the company.

Best of all, they are having a great time at work because the whole team is so engaged with the next lantern.

4. Your business will have more money and time to invest in what really matters.

As a lean business owner you care about making sure your company has a healthy inflow of revenue and that you aren't wasting money. But the product of becoming more profitable means more cash to invest in ideas that excite you.

This has been liberating for our clients. When you have a sustainable flow with money in your business there is freedom to invest in resources that support you without losing sleep at night worrying that you are spending more than you are making.

5. You can innovate without the financial risk or time drain

If you are a business owner who loves to create and experiment but hates to waste time, energy and money trying to see if your idea will work, becoming a lean business is for you.

The truth is not every idea in your business is going to be a winner. But when you are running lean it is easier to test things out, see what your clients want and find out what potential challenges your team sees all without pouring months, money and time down the drain.

You can test and adjust more quickly because your idea doesn't have to go through a long line of people to see the light of day or require a dozen meetings to get off the ground.
