The EMyth Business Development Path 4 The Dynamic Road of the 21 Lessons Y our journey starts in Leadership, and leadership begins with knowing yourself. As a leader you must know what inspires you; to understand your passion and purpose, why you do what you do. Your Values, Passion and Purpose is intended to help you understand yourself, what you stand for as a leader and what drives you. Next, a leader needs a vision. Your Business Reimagined is designed to help you flesh out what you already see inside you as your vision, and get it down on paper so you can communicate it to others. It guides you to ask the relevant questions that will give you just enough detail to build upon. Next, you learn to track your steps towards your vision. In Tracking Your Progress you find an extremely effective way to measure both the tangible and intangible aspects of your business that will require focus to realize your vision. Once you understand your values and vision, and have a way to track your progress, Branding comes next. Here we explore Your Brand Commitment, which helps you identify the feeling you want your customers to have as well as your employees to best support your brand promise. Next, comes Finding Your Own Voice, which guides you to identify and describe your unique differentiation and how you communicate it to your target market. With Creating Your Look and Feel, you learn how to extend your voice throughout your company so your customers have a unified feel for your brand. Next comes Finance. While all the Dynamics are important, Finance is clearly key to running a business. Unless you have these basic components in place you ll never feel in control. Through Financial Intelligence You Can Use you set up and understand your financial reports and learn how and who should review them. You also explore some of your attitudes about money as well as the different functions of a financial team. Then, you take on Building a Budget With Vision and Creating a Cash Plan, both absolutely critical to flourish as a business. In Management, you create your Organizational Roadmap through an Org Chart, which gives you a visually alive path to understand and plan the growth of your company through its people. You learn new ways to recruit and hire based on your culture and brand in Brand Based Recruiting. Through Developing Great People, you ll discover the power of creating an ownership culture & receive tools that will help you form its foundation. After setting the foundation in Leadership and through the strategic disciplines of Branding, Management and Finance, we connect those strategies to the activity Dynamics: Delivery, Sales and Marketing, where your new strategies connect with your customers. We start with Delivery as you must consistently deliver a quality experience so that every customer is satisfied with your brand promise. In Your Product Reimagined you learn to innovate your product or service to offer the best possible alternative to your customers. In Systematizing Excellence you create a quality control system that ensures that every customer receives the same feeling of excellence, every time. In An Experience Worth Talking About you will discover ways to exceed customer expectations which builds the relationship & creates word-of-mouth referrals. After shoring up Delivery, we move into the Sales Dynamic, where you explore how to create Your Unique Sales Process, your way of helping prospective customers get involved with your brand. Through Connecting Your Customers you ll learn new perspectives that solidify and further the relationship with your customers to bring them back again and again. Selling With Integrity supports creating a sales roadmap and scripts so every salesperson has a similar path to rely on as they relate to your prospective customers. Now that you can deliver and sell in a new and dependable way, you re ready to create more prospective customers through Marketing. Reaching The Right Customers guides you in discovering the best segments or niches for you to focus on, and those that are better left alone. In the next lesson, Understanding Why They Buy, we explore what makes your customers tick, why they buy, and learn to better understand the kinds of messages that might move them and draw them in. In Developing Your Channels, you learn to choose the right places to target your marketing messages and create a structure and system to do it seamlessly and consistently.
