Team Management

Happy Employees = High Profit?

We’ve all heard the phrases “the customer is always right” and “it all starts with your customer”

But is that really true?

My friend and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Brian Scudamore disagrees.

He believes that no company grows sustainably without first taking care of its people.

When you take care of your people, they’ll take care of your customers, and your customers take care of your brand, reputation, revenue, and profits.

So, in this week’s newsletter, you’ll discover how to hire the right people and create a happy work environment, and a winning culture so your employees are taken care of.

This will in turn bring you higher profits and a much healthier business in more ways than one.

Before we get started, you may like to check out this snippet of an interview I did with Brian at the Dragon Summit™ last year…

Where he talks about the importance of finding the right person not just for your business but for you as well, and much more >>

Why Happy Employees Make All The Difference

The results are in, and studies show that happy employees mean lower employee turnover and higher revenues for the company they work for.

Here’s the thing, it’s a myth that more money is what makes an employee happy.

Sure, everyone wants more money, but if an employee’s job lacks responsibility and trust…

Or they feel like they’re being treated unfairly, or they feel like the things they say are overlooked or seen as unimportant, then this affects their job happiness.

How To Hire The Right People

Depending on the size of your business, hiring the wrong people can and will cost you hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars over time.

Likewise, hiring the right people will save and make you millions of dollars.

My hiring strategies are quite unconventional.

Most people hire based on someone’s resume, whereas I’ve not read many resumes at all.

In fact, all my team members were hired based on their attitude, and we trained them on the job.

Many of them started in one position, but ended up in a completely different position, as I like to promote from within.

How To Build a Winning Team

An average leader only takes the relationship with employees 1 or 2 layers deep.

As a result, the employees won’t stay loyal to them.

So, if you want to be the kind of person your employees will stay loyal to and do anything for, you must connect with them on the deepest level possible.

Now, depending on the size of your business this could be challenging, but still doable.

In this video, Gary Vee shares his method for getting to know and building a strong relationship with your employees >>

The method he shares is simple, yet effective, so set aside some time to implement this, and you’ll reap the rewards for years to come.

How To Create a Winning Culture

You may have heard the saying “no one man is more important than the mission”.

As the CEO of your company, you’ll have to make many tough decisions.

Some of which may be to fire people who don’t fit the culture even if they’re phenomenal at their job.

So how do you create a winning culture?

You first need to identify what your company’s core values are.

At Team Dan Lok, our core values are:

  1. Loyalty
  2. Harmony
  3. Extreme Ownership
  4. High Performance
  5. Constant Improvement

You’ll notice ‘Harmony’ is one of our core values, and that fits in with my previous statement of firing people who don’t fit, even if they exhibit ‘High Performance’.

So what would you like your company’s core values to be?

You could model some of ours and add a few of your own.

But you must first get clear on these, so you know if your employees are a culture fit or not.

How to Be a Better Manager

People ask me all the time, “Dan, how can I best manage my team?”

I used to be a micromanager, and what I realized is, not only does micromanaging waste everyone’s time…

But, I discovered people can’t be managed.

It’s much better for you to create a system for your employees, and your employees will manage themselves.

This makes your job as a leader much easier because your job is to coach and guide your team to success.

Not only are systems important for your employees, but they are essential if you want to scale.

Why?

Because you can’t scale if more of your time is being taken up every time you hit a new revenue level.

In this video, I discuss more reasons why you need systems to scale, and why you NEVER want to be the smartest person in your company >>

How to Become a Better Leader

Leadership is a learnable skill, and there are many ways you could become a better leader.

First, you must know what you need to work on…

And this could be challenging, but whenever a problem arises with an employee, think about how your leadership has played a part in that problem.

Then brainstorm ways this problem could have been avoided if different actions were taken.

But if you’d like to know the 10 skills every good leader should have, then click here >>

To summarize this newsletter, if you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers/clients.

It’s really that simple, but there’s a lot that goes into it, as you’ve just seen.

Until next time, go high ticket,

Dan Lok

P.S. – As I mentioned earlier, systems are vital to your business.

As luck would have it, we’re running our next S.M.A.R.T. Challenge™ on April 19-21.

This is my 3-day business immersive where you’ll gain the secrets and strategies I and my clients use to SCALE, SYSTEMIZE, and SUSTAIN our businesses through any economic climate.

We only run the challenge a few times per year, so don’t miss your chance to borrow my high ticket business playbook and make 2023 your best year yet >>

Unsure How To Pay Your Closers?

If you’re unsure of the best way to pay your sales team, then you’re in for a treat…

Because in this week’s newsletter, you’ll discover many ways to structure your team’s commissions…

You’ll also discover what I believe are the best ways to compensate them…

I’ll give you a sneak peek into how I pay my closers and why I’ve chosen this method…

And you’ll also get my simple but powerful method for removing complacency and keeping your closers on their toes.

Let’s get started…

3 Goals Of Your Commission Structure

When structuring commissions for your team, you should have 3 goals in mind.

  • Increase closer motivation…
  • Boost sales and productivity…
  • Reduce staff turnover…

With those in mind, let’s dive into some common commission structures.

3 Of The Most Common Commission Structures

Believe it or not, there are at least 10 different ways you could structure your team’s commissions.

But today, we’ll cover just 3 and I’ll give you a link so you can gain insight into the other 7.

  • 100% Commission

This is beneficial for both the company and the closer.

Why?
Because the company doesn’t pay the closer a salary, they can offer a higher commission rate.

The closer will feel like they are in complete control of their income.

There is no limit to how much the closer can make.

This is a great way for the closer to gauge their performance.

But, one of the biggest problems with this model is it can cause neediness and/or desperation, as they only “eat what they kill”.

Furthermore, closers could resort to unethical sales techniques in order to make sales in the event of a quiet sales period.

Another problem with this model is it can cause a high turnover rate, if closers don’t perform or are unhappy with their income.

  • Base Salary + Commission

Here you’ll provide an hourly rate or monthly income and you’ll also pay your closers for each sale they make.

You’re invested in the closer, and you both carry certain levels of responsibility.

The base should not be so high that the closer can get complacent and lazy…

But it also shouldn’t be so low that if they run into challenges they can’t survive without making sales.

This model still rewards high performance, and as you control the number of hours the closer works, you can still predict fixed salary expenses.

Any extra outlay is of course connected to sales made.

  • Tiered Commission

If you want a good way to motivate your team to close more sales, a tiered commission structure may work well for you.

With this type of structure, your closers will earn a higher commission when they hit certain milestones.

For example: If they close anything under $20,000 they may get 5%.

Anything over $20,000 but under $50,000 may see them receive 8%, and so on.

It’s up to you how far you want the tiered commission to continue and what percentage you award them each time they hit a new tier.

This helps motivate them to continue closing sales even after they’ve hit their monthly targets, as they’ll receive greater compensation.

Click here to discover 7 other commission structures you could potentially install into your business >>

How I Pay My Sales Team

In our business, we use a combination of a few different commission structures.

Regardless of experience, every new closer starts as an appointment setter.

They earn a percentage (dependent on the price point and margin of the offer) of sales for appointments they set.

After they’ve proven themselves by getting a predetermined number of sales, they then move to a closing position.

In this position, they get a base plus commissions, and we also work out a bonus structure similar to the tiered commission structure.

As I mentioned earlier, providing your closers with a base removes neediness and desperation.

The last thing I want in my team is a closer who is in survival mode…

As this causes most people to act irrationally and emotionally in a sales conversation.

How To Keep Your Closers On Their Toes

One huge challenge you’ll face no matter how well your sales team performs is people becoming complacent.

It’s very common for people to get too comfortable and even lazy at times.

So, in order to get around this, and to ensure you always have the highest performers on your team, here’s what I do.

Every quarter, I cut the bottom performers.

It’s up to you how many or what percentage of people you cut each time, but if you have 4 or 5 people on your team, you may like to cut the bottom person.

I think 20-25% is a good portion to cut, depending on the size of your team.

How to Turn Your Sales Team Into A Force To Be Reckoned With

If you want your team to perform to the best of their ability, you have two choices, [Name].

Either you can assume they’ll train themselves and upgrade their skills on their own dime…

OR

You can get on the front foot and provide them high-level training vital to their success.

Now, I’m in a unique position where my team has access to the hundreds of hours of sales training I’ve created.

In fact, in order to get a position on my team, each closer must have taken my High Ticket Closer Certification™

This proves to me they’re serious and they understand my sales methodologies.

But if you’re not at the level where you’ve created sales training, or perhaps you’d like to bring in some outside training…

Then I invite you to check out the Dan Lok Closing Collection >>

This collection compiles 6 of my most effective sales trainings, including:

How To Sell High Ticket Consulting Programs And Services… The Perfect Closing Script… Objection Handling Secrets… Persuasion Secrets… Prospecting Secrets… and Negotiation Secrets.

By the time your team has been through these programs, their closing skills will be like night and day from where they are now.

And the best part, each program works out to roughly $66 each.

In my opinion, it’s a complete steal for the potential value you could receive if your team implements the teachings. 

And if perhaps the collection is outside your budget, there are other trainings you can invest in individually if you wish.

Leverage Your Effort For Max Return..

Have you ever thought to yourself…

“If only I could duplicate myself, my business would run smoother and more profitably”?

If so, you’re not alone.

Trying to be everywhere in your business is a challenge every coach, consultant, or expert faces throughout their career.

And whether you’re at the stage where you can hire a Chief of Staff, or a Chief Operating Officer or not…

There are things you can do to effectively “duplicate” yourself in your business to leverage your time better.

How To Leverage Your Time If You’re a Solopreneur

If you’re the only person in your business, you’ll feel run off your feet at the best of times.

And if that’s you, then it’s absolutely VITAL you create systems and ways to streamline your operations.

I’m talking about templated emails, simple spreadsheets to record your sales and expenses each month, and other systems that make your business run smoother.

If you find you’re sending out the same emails often, create a template you can copy and paste so you only have to change minor details.

Sit down for a small amount of time each week to record any sales and expenses that came in in the last 7 days.

By the end of the month, your records will be top notch and it may only take 10-20 minutes.

Every time you notice “time vampires” sucking your time out of your day, that’s an area you could potentially systemize.

Be sure to document the process, so when you do hire an employee, they can pick up the task with minimal supervision in the beginning and ultimately zero supervision.

You can also find software online that saves you time, depending on the task.

An obvious example is social media post-scheduling.

How To Leverage Your Knowledge As an Expert

EVERY coach, consultant, or expert should leverage their knowledge online.

I’m talking about books and e-books, podcasts, online courses, lead magnets, webinars, etc.

You likely know this already, but what I’ve learned over the years is, we don’t always do what we know.

And to know and to not do, is to not know.

So, if there are any areas you could improve upon in your business when it comes to leveraging your knowledge…

Think of this newsletter as a kick in the butt to make it happen.

How To Ensure Your Material Reaches a Wider Audience

Speaking of leveraging your knowledge, this next strategy will work best for coaches and experts.

It has to do with creating certification programs that teach others your methods for getting clients amazing results.

You can effectively duplicate yourself with every new person you bring under your umbrella.

You sell the program and potentially get a cut of each client they coach, depending on how you set it up.

This allows you to spread your message faster, and also brings you multiple income streams in addition to your client work.

We have many certification programs in our business, most notably the High Ticket Coach™ Certification.

The potential here is limitless.

How To Leverage Your Time With Group Coaching

I wrote an entire newsletter about group coaching and why I believe it’s the holy grail to not only scale your business but also leverage your time.

Look out for it in your inbox if you’d like to review it, the subject line was “Why group coaching eats 1-on-1 for breakfast…”

You can save so much time and make far more money with group coaching it’s not even funny.

Here are some of my best tips on running group coaching calls >>

How To Double The Size Of Your Business

I mentioned the job title Chief of Staff earlier in the newsletter.

A Chief of Staff is someone who thinks like you and can do things like attend meetings on your behalf, make key decisions, as well as carry out certain tasks you would normally do.

Hiring one is one of the quickest ways to duplicate yourself in your business, and has the potential to help you double the size of your company…

But like you, they can only do so much.

Eventually, your business will grow to the point you need another Chief of Staff because you can’t scale an employee.

At this stage, instead, what you want to do is hire a Chief Operating Officer.

A COO designs and implements systems and processes so a competent person can carry out key tasks overseen by the COO.

(Side note: I’m likely to do an entire newsletter on hiring key employees such as a COO in the future, so keep your eye out for that one.)

Of course, if you want to hire anyone in your company, you must stop micromanaging, if that is something you do.

I used to do this a lot, and I think it’s something almost every business owner does at first until they realize it’s stopping them from doing their job and their business from reaching its full potential.

How to Stop Micromanaging

The counter-intuitive thing about micromanaging is that it does the exact opposite of what we intend.

We think it will make things run smoother, and more effectively, and that tasks will be done to a higher standard…

But all it does is waste your and your employee’s time.

Not to mention it’s frustrating for all involved.

If micromanaging is something you do, then click here for 3 ways to stop >> 

So there you have it…

No matter the size of your business, there are always ways you can leverage your time, to save you trouble, and make your business more efficient and profitable.

Whether it be creating digital versions, your own systems, using software, passing on your expertise to others, or hiring key employees.

How To Fill Your Team With “A Players”

Everyone wants a team they can hold accountable…

A team that works well together, so they can minimize having tough conversations with members who don’t perform.

I’m talking about “A Players”.

So, in this week’s edition of High Ticket Weekly, you’ll discover how to rate your team members…

How to hold them accountable…

And how to handle team members who underperform, and have tough conversations if needed.

How To Define An “A Player”

It goes without saying that an “A Player” is someone who consistently performs at high levels and exceeds expectations. 

But what specific characteristics do they possess?

Because before you fill your team with “A players”, you must know what to look for. 

Now, you may already have a definition in your head, but I believe “A players” should possess these six characteristics. 

  • High productivity levels: They should be able to handle high workloads and complete work to a high standard over short periods of time.
  • Strong skills and knowledge: They should have strong technical skills and be able to apply these skills to their work.
  • Proactive and independent: They must show great initiative, pick things up fast, and be able to work and solve problems with minimal or no supervision.
  • Positive attitude: They must love what they do and enjoy working within the company. They must also contribute new ideas and work well with other team members.
  • Strong communication skills: “A players” have strong written and verbal communication skills they use to communicate their ideas to you and the entire team.
  • High EQ: I believe Emotional Quotient eats Intelligence Quotient (IQ) for breakfast. Sure, “A players” are often intelligent too, but they don’t have to be a genius to be an “A player” if they have a high EQ.

IMPORTANT: Each role has different expectations, and the definition of an “A player” will vary between departments.

Now you have a clear idea about what an “A player” looks like, you can create a rating system and begin to rate your team members to see how they measure up.

It’s possible you could train a “B player” to become an “A player” over time.

When rating team members it’s important you use clear and specific criteria for each role and stay consistent and objective with each rating.

How To Keep Your Team Motivated and Accountable

People ask me all the time, “Dan, how do I motivate my team?”

The truth is, you don’t.

You find people who are already motivated.

That cuts out a lot of the training and hard work on your behalf.

So, knowing that your team is already motivated, let’s speak about ways of holding your team accountable, whether they’re remote or not.

How To Keep Your Team Accountable

I believe one of the most vital keys to accountability is setting clear expectations.

These should be set each time a new employee joins the team.

There should be clear expectations around each project, such as budget, first draft due, and final deadline.

Communication is always important, but in a remote setting, it’s even more important.

You may like to set up a weekly meeting and a daily check-in if needed.

Employee engagement is also a key factor and there are things you can do to boost engagement such as frequent communication, and team-building activities.

These are just 3 of 8 ways to keep a remote team accountable.

If you’d like to know another five ways of holding your team accountable, then click here to read this short article >>

How To Handle Team Members Who Don’t Perform

Every business has team members who don’t perform at some point in time.

They may submit subpar work… they may constantly miss deadlines… there could be an energy mismatch between them and the company as a whole.

Whatever the reason, it’s expensive and time-consuming to look for new employees all the time…

So, here are a few ways of helping them improve their performance.

It all starts with communicating your concerns, so you and the employee can identify the root cause of the problem.

Ask them the right questions, and once you’ve uncovered the problem(s) you can create new targets and offer support and resources for them to improve.

You must also set clear expectations so the two of you know if the new targets are being met.

Finally, you must follow up with them and monitor their progress.

I shot you a roleplay of me coaching one of my event attendees on how to have a conversation like this >> 

How To Have Tough Conversations With Employees

Should any team member continue to underperform even with your support, eventually you’ll need to have an even tougher conversation to let them go.

Here are 3 things to think about before and while you have the conversation.

  • Make sure you prepare in advance and plan what you’re going to say. Be clear and direct with a clear outcome for the conversation, and have an answer for any challenges or objections that may arise.
  • Choose a private location where people can’t interrupt you or overhear what’s being said.
  • Practice aggressive listening: Pay close attention to what your employee is saying so you can construct thoughtful and respectful answers.

So there you have it…

My best tips for identifying and keeping “A players” in your organization…

Keeping your remote team accountable…

And dealing with underperforming employees.

I hope this newsletter has been of great help to you and your business.

Until next time… go high ticket,

When Should I Hire My First Sales Closer?

Today, you’ll discover when you should hire your first salesperson, how to hire the right salesperson, and common mistakes to avoid.

How To Know Who You Should Hire First

There are a lot of conflicting opinions out there, and it depends on the type of business you run…

But you could hire a marketer, copywriter, accountant, admin clerk, and the list goes on, but…

As you’re a coach, consultant, knowledge expert, or trainer, it’s my belief that you should hire a salesperson first.

We’ll call them closers for the rest of the newsletter.

So why should you hire a closer first?

I recorded a quick podcast episode for you, where I explain this in its entirety.

Click here to find out why and how a closer will help you generate more revenue and get your time back >>

So you know why you should hire a closer as your first employee, your next challenge is to find the RIGHT person.

The Difference Between a Closer and a Salesperson

Before we go further, you may wonder why I call them closers, not salespeople.

Quick question…

What words come to mind when you hear the word salesperson?

Slimy, sleazy, snake oil, pushy, manipulative?

It’s likely you’re thinking of these words or others similar.

A salesperson is a good talker who pushes you into the sale and knows little about you.

A closer is a good listener who guides you to the sale and knows your pains, struggles, goals, aspirations, and motivations for wanting to solve your problem.

The ONLY Type Of Employee You Want In Your Business

Now, before I share with you how to find great closers, click here to watch this quick video about the 3 kinds of employees >>

This video will teach you the exact type of employee you want in your business and the ones you should avoid like the plague.

Now you know which employees you should avoid, here’s how to find the best closers >>

I’m willing to bet when you get to finding and hiring your closer, you may be tempted to hire someone who can “sell anything to anyone”.

In reality, you shouldn’t hire that kind of salesperson.

It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s true.

What you want is a “true believer” in your product or service.

Does that sound much more advantageous?

Click here for a deeper dive into why a “true believer” is a huge asset to your business >> 

How To Cut Your Losses When Your Closer Doesn’t Perform

You want to set your closer up for success, by giving them every opportunity to improve.

You must also give them a clear path to close more sales for you, thereby increasing their income in the shortest time possible.

You’ll want to give them achievable targets but you’ll also want to keep them challenged every month.

You want to know in advance if things won’t work out with your closer BEFORE they reach the end of their trial period, and here’s how you do it >>  

The #1 Mistake Entrepreneurs Make When Hiring

Profit is the ONLY reason you hire employees.

Even in an admin role, that employee takes over tasks you do that keep you away from making money.

You’re always hiring to make more money in your business.

 So, if your closer doesn’t perform, you’ve got to replace them, but if you make THIS common mistake when hiring, it makes replacing them near impossible >>

How To Screen Potential Closers

Some people are great at interviews but when it comes to performing in their job, they fall flat.

That’s why they’re so good at interviews after all… because they attend so many.

Here’s a secret strategy for screening and testing your candidates without them knowing >> 

Your interview process is very important, so you’ll want to arm yourself with a great set of interview questions specifically for hiring closers.

You can get those here >> 

The Psychology Behind Hiring Staff

Finally, I wanted to give you something to think about.

Would you rather have a company of giants or dwarfs?

Smart CEOs know if they hire people less capable than themselves, they’ll end up with a company of dwarfs.

If you want a deeper dive into why I adopt the “Russian Doll” principle when it comes to hiring, which allows me to create a company of giants, click here >>

After consuming all this content, you should be in a great position to hire your first closer, and set both of you up for success.

To your success,

How To Hire Your Next Superstar

This is something every expert, coach, consultant, or business owner should do, as the more value you give the more comes back to you in time.

So, today you’ll discover how to hire the right people for your team and how to build a powerful team of A players.

How To Build A Powerful Team

Business is a team sport, and as you know, you can only do so much as the CEO of your company.

I truly believe in hiring people who have greater skills than you in their area of expertise.

Because if you’re the most productive, smartest, and best-skilled person on your team, you’ll ALWAYS be the bottleneck.

Before you even think about hiring anyone, you must get CRYSTAL CLEAR on these 3 things >> 

One of the best ways I’ve found to build a powerful team is by finding out what your team members’ goals are.

What are they motivated by?

Figure this out and you’ll get the best out of your team.

How To Hire The Right People 

Once you’re clear on your vision, mission, and culture, you’re ready to find the people who’ll fit that culture and help you achieve your vision and mission.

After all, your business will never reach its full potential if your team doesn’t believe in what you do or fit the business culture.

I adopt a very unorthodox way of hiring talent.

In fact, I NEVER look at resumes.

I don’t care about their past, I care about their future.

I also care about attitude and culture fit.

I don’t even hire for skills necessarily…

In fact, a lot of my team members didn’t start out in their current roles.

I like to promote from within, so a few years after someone joins my team, they could be working in a completely different role.

If you want to know exactly how to build a high-performance team then click here to check out this in-depth video >> 

 

Why You Always Want To Hire People More Capable Than You

One thing I’ve noticed a lot is CEOs hire based on their insecurities.

Here’s what I mean.

If you’re always hiring people who aren’t as skilled as you because you think they’ll be easy to control, your company will find it hard to grow.

I mentioned earlier that you’d always be the bottleneck, but it’s far deeper than that.

Your job as the CEO isn’t to do each task better than your employees.

Your job is to be the captain of the ship…

The visionary…

The person who puts everything together and directs your employees to help you build the company’s vision.

That’s why you hire people who are experts in their field because it’s unlikely you have all the skills needed to build your vision.

How To Differentiate Between a Superstar and a Super-talker

When you’re looking for A players, here’s one thing I’ve learned.

There are people who talk a big game, and there are those who can deliver a big game.

Let’s pretend you’ve hired someone you believe will be a huge asset to your team.

Here’s how you find out which category they’re in.

You give them what I call a lame horse.

If they produce great results with the lame horse, only then do you upgrade their horse and watch them soar.

Click here to discover how to give your next team member a lame horse so you can monitor their progress and upgrade the horse when the time is right >>

 

How CEOs Communicate Effectively To Their Team

Here’s something that trips up a lot of CEOs, including me, [Name].

You see, it doesn’t matter how clear you are on your vision and mission and how high-performance your team members are…

If you can’t communicate with them effectively, the tasks you give them won’t be executed with precision.

I’ve had moments in my business where I was absolutely crystal clear on what I wanted the project to look like…

But when I received the first version, it was nothing like I thought I’d explained it.

I realized that I was the issue.

I needed to get better at explaining how I wanted the project to look.

Communication is the message sent, message received, and message acted upon.

If you’d like to see a roleplay of how to communicate effectively with your team members, then watch this video here >>

 

How to Get Crystal Clear On Where Your Business Is Headed, So You Can Lead Your Team To Victory

Before we wrap this up, I wanted to share with you a powerful way to gain clarity on your vision, mission, and business so you and your team can operate at the highest levels possible.

I know it’s not related to hiring a team member, but as we’ve moved on to getting the best out of your team members, I think it’s relevant.

The secret lies in what I call “think time”.

Every day I set aside a certain amount of time to think about where my business is at.

I ask myself 3 simple yet powerful questions >>


These questions allow me to figure out the best next steps forward and much much more.
