How to Automate Your Business with Low-Skilled Staff
Is your business stuck without the right systems in place?
You are a business owner and want your business to run smoothly without your constant supervision? But the problem is that some people in your team are less skilled, some are inexperienced, and sometimes they are not even educated. In such a situation, you wonder how to put the business on autopilot?
We were also thinking the same thing and approached our mentor. We asked him - "Sir, we have low-skilled people and many are not even properly educated. Still, how can we put our business on autopilot?"
His answer was - "You don't have the right system!"
How to get great performance even from a team with low skill?
1. It's not a Team Problem, it's a System Problem!
We thought that was the right thing! If the same people can perform well somewhere else, but are not able to do so here, then it means the problem is not in the people, but in our system.
We have to create a system that makes people with low skills do the right work and keeps improving them.
2. High Attrition Rate – New People Every 6 Months!
There was another big problem - Frequent change of staff!
Every six months, some employee would leave and then we would have to train a new person. This would not only result in wastage of time and money, but also affect the quality of work.
Solution? Create a process where every new person can be trained quickly and produce the same quality work as an experienced person in less time.
3. Fear of boss - If you talk too much then "Bye-Bye"!
If we had shown more strictness, the staff would have left the job.
Because of this fear, we were not able to control our team completely. We wanted them to perform, but couldn't tell them much.
4. Honesty and Fear of Theft!
In many businesses, owners fear that their staff might embezzle their money. Cash, bills, stock – everything has to be kept an eye on. Because of this, the owners themselves are busy handling everything and the dream of going on business autopilot remains unfulfilled.
