On this episode of Live with Bottleneck: A Week In Review, Jaime and Sara talk about the importance of departmental delegation and how it can ease working in general.

Departmental Delegation
Sara talks about delegating to departments, and the department heads will be taking care of disseminating it to the rest of the team so that Jaime as the head of everything, won’t have to micro-manage. Delegating also means empowering these department heads to make decisions on their own.
Jaime says that departmental delegation is about getting the same message across and that it is understood by everyone, and it also means that moving forward, as heads of the company, they won’t have to be in all of the meetings. They won’t also need to give out specific directions, since with departmental delegation they can just take a step back and allow everyone else to do their job.
Departmental delegation is about believing in the people you hire, and trust that they know what they are doing, and that they are awesome at it, they are doing a great job, and that they are growing professionally in their positions.
What Happened This Week?
Sara has been working with Chanelle, straightening out the books, and trying out a new payment system. Wise has been, as Jaime wittingly said, a wise decision, since everyone got their pay quickly, and the fees are easy to deal with. However, they are still struggling with Canadian payments, as US to Canada bank transfers are proving to be a real problem.
Jaime has a great week because he was able to delegate most of the meetings and he didn’t have to be in them, so he was able to do a lot of writing and researching on his own. He was in a couple of meetings for building the new website. They will be launching the automated sales process in June, and both Jaime and Sara are excited for that to happen.
What’s Coming Up?
Jaime has hired the last two positions that the team has been missing, and they are all ready for scalability. They will be adapting a three-pronged approach for June 15, when they will be launching their automated sales process, switching from HubSpot to Go High Level.
They are also creating Bottleneck Academy, a pool of talents which will be trained and certified as distant assistants to recommend to clients. It will be easier to match a distant assistant with a client with the new automated sales process, and Bottleneck will be taking care of training and certification so that clients won’t have to wait long.
