Whether you realize it or not, you run your people analytics software all the time. Daily. No, not on your computer or your phone. In your head. No, I didn’t say you’re soft-headed. OK, let me explain before this gets sillier.
It’s good to keep your people analytics running every day.
Because people can be, shall we say, unpredictable sometimes. Or they can be something other than what they appear to be.
I remember, when I was a teenager, how my parents gave me some advice about how to cultivate the best kinds of friends. And weed out the unsavory types. They told me, “We don’t drink, smoke, or chew. Nor go with people who do.” I don’t think they were the first to say it. But that doesn’t matter. I heard it from my parents first.
So. What does that have to do with anything you’d be interested in? I don’t know. Maybe nothing.
But then again, maybe you face business decisions you’re not real sure about. And maybe, just maybe, some of those decisions involve other people. Hey, I’ve heard it happens.
And I remember talking to a client about this a few years ago. In our one-on-one meeting she mentioned the possibility of a new potential employee. And she said she wasn’t sure if the new person would be a good fit.
So, I asked, “Why aren’t you sure?”
And she answered, “Because I’m not sure if they’ll be able to bring in enough business to justify me paying them.”
So, my next question was, “Well, how much would that need to be?”
“Uh, I don’t have those actual numbers. And I guess that’s why I’m still riding the fence,” she replied. And she said that last part with a sheepish grin. Because she probably knew what I’d say next. And I didn’t disappoint her.
“Well, there you go,” I said.
“And don’t I always say you gotta know your numbers?”
That short conversation had a happy ending. Because once I helped her dive in and clear up her numbers, she saw she couldn’t afford to hire someone. At least not right away. Imagine what an awful experience it would have been, for her AND her new employee, if she had hired someone only to have to fire them not long after.
And that’s sort of the tip of the iceberg when it comes to people analytics.
Because you also gotta know your core values. And exactly what any new employee’s duties will be. Yes, I said “KNOW.” Not “think” or “guess.” And absolutely, positively don’t “wonder” about it. KNOW.
Then, you can use people analytics to hire better and run your business SO much better. And SO much more profitable. Those are just a couple of the reasons I developed the RondaReady Business System. Because I love to help risk takers and go-getters KNOW their businesses inside and out.
By the way, that whole system is in a book you can get in your hands as fast as today (when you get the digital version). It’s a tiny fraction of what my one-on-one clients have paid me over the years. But it contains the whole blueprint for success I used to help them build 6 and 7 figures businesses.
So, invest in your own copy of the RondaReady System book, today. And when you do, let me know. Because I’ll be glad to answer your questions and help you…
Stay Ready,
