Join Jaime and Sara live every Friday at 10am CT for this special edition of Live with Bottleneck: A Week In Review, as they talk about the week that passed and the challenges that they’ve faced, as well as implementation of things for the future of the company and for the viewers.
Almost Died
Jaime and Sara talks about a close call with the tractor they were using in their continuing construction work at their property. Jaime adds that it certainly got his blood pumping, but also made him realize something.
“It’s kind of funny how it takes incidents like that every once in a while, to remind yourself that you’re indeed alive.” – Jaime Jay
Sometimes we get so set in our ways, that it’s almost like we are on autopilot. Moments like this, and also happy events, can take us out of that monotony, and help us appreciate and see the smaller exciting things happening in life.
What Happened This Week?
Besides the tractor incident, there were a few issues with client miscommunication with the DAs, but Jaime and Sara were able to quickly clear stuff out by talking to the parties involved.
“All it takes is a phone call to clear up what happens. Because so much is missed in a text message or an email. Sometimes you get an email and t he person that is sending the email is either in a hurry or very emotional at the moment, or they weren’t able to read it through.” – Sara Knox
There are also things that they probably could not discuss in such emails, so it is ideal to set time to contact them and get the proper context.
It also helps to talk to both sides separately to get their point of view, and to understand where the miscommunication may have come from.
What’s Coming Up?
Jaime talks about Bottleneck’s targets for this quarter, and how close the team are in hitting it.
One of which is the Bottleneck Academy, which we have launched recently. There’s also the matter of workflow documentation for the whole team, which will detail different tasks and assignments, in case someone has to carry the load for someone who is out on leave, or for an easier onboarding experience.
But the biggest task is our current migration of the CRM from Hubspot to Go High Level, as it all has to be finished before the end of May.
Jaime and Sara also talk about new pricing options regarding ISP, to make our services more appealing for new and current clients.
