We have the solution for your systems optimization fatigue. That broken system that’s been on your to-do list forever? You can check off in just 30 days, and create momentum for your business to thrive in the new year. 

It just takes a perspective shift, clarity on what you need, and saying “no” to any more delays. 

A New Perspective on Improving Your Business

Sometimes as humans, we can be really strange. We put off things that we think will take too long, even if it’s a problem that bothers us daily. I had a family member who needed a new pair of glasses, probably for years. When they finally got around to making an appointment, they were shocked by how easy and quick it was to get the new prescription & frames. And the difference it made in their daily life? Incredible. 

It became a joke we tell now about the way we put things off. 

“I’m too busy, maybe I’ll see 👀 tomorrow.” 

It’s ridiculous, but it’s absolutely the way we operate. The busier you feel, the easier it is to view solving problems as an inconvenience you don’t have time for. But, often those unsolved problems are their own source of stress that cause you to go around half-blind.

When it comes to your business systems, fixing problems can feel overwhelming. I get it. The tendency is to deal with the symptoms of a broken system rather than find a top-level solution. But each day you “make do”—holding everything together with bandaids and a prayer—you are losing time at a compounded interest. 

Just like that eye appointment, the solution might be faster and easier than you realize. When it comes to broken systems, you don’t need a six-month plan and a full overhaul, you just need a clear target and a Systems Optimization Sprint. 

Fixing the Problem Starts with Knowing You Have One

We worked with one client who was technically using Monday.com as her CRM, but she knew that she and her team used it disjointedly (or not at all) and leads were falling through the cracks. She was spinning too many plates to fix it on her own, so she brought us in to revamp the system that was costing her money and business growth potential. 

She could have blamed her team for dropping the ball. She could have chalked up her slow client onboarding to difficult or complicated people. She could have lost hope that her business had capacity to grow.

Instead, she recognized where the real problem was. 

If you already know that you have a broken system, but you just don’t have the time and energy to make it better, we want to partner with you and make life easier. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what our client had to say:

“Follow-up with potential clients has become systemized and simple since Upwell optimized my CRM, on Monday.com. I was losing money by missing leads, but now customer management is straightforward, and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”

Don’t Regret Delays You Can Avoid

“I wish I’d done that sooner.”

That’s what one of our clients said after we turned her ClickUp into a project management tool that actually worked for her and her business. Her team now enjoys using ClickUp, and they have joked that they’re only kicking themselves for not fixing it sooner. 

The temptation is to delay because you don’t have time to fix everything right now, but it’s better to fix one broken thing and move on, than it is to allow decision paralysis to hold you back. 

In every one of these cases, focused optimization beats strategic planning that never gets off the ground. 

When you see one problem solved in 30 days, suddenly the next improvement doesn't feel so daunting. Success breeds confidence. Your team sees that change is possible and gets excited about what's next.

With traditional consulting, you're six months in and still in the "discovery phase", but with our System Optimization Sprint, we’ll get your problem fixed in just 30 days.  

The System Optimization Sprint

The System Optimization Sprint is a four week project aimed at optimizing a single platform within your tech stack, while this project happens quickly, it’s still a laser focused deep dive to ensure a thorough optimization of your system. After 30 days you’ll get: an audit for one core system, recommendations on what to optimize, and implementation of all approved recommendations. 

The System Optimization Sprint or, SOS (you get it) is for the business owner who’s identified the leak in their systems bucket and needs expert assistance in getting it fixed, fast. 

It’s easy to keep putting off problems that don’t feel pressing, but each month that goes by without systems optimized to work for you, is a drain on your business that could be easily avoided. Just think what you could accomplish 30 days from now with an optimized project management tool or CRM!
