106: Is growth breaking your business?

RUN LIKE CLOCKWORK: SMALL BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Are you growing at the cost of your current customers? If you cannot continue to scale and deliver on your product or service with excellence, then you may have a Delivery Bottleneck. Businesses of integrity will not sacrifice quality for quantity.

In this episode of the Run Like Clockwork Podcast, Adrienne dives into the Deliver or Capacity bottleneck as part of the bottleneck series. If you haven’t listened to the first episode introducing bottlenecks, and the last 2 week’s episodes about the Attract bottleneck and the Convert bottleneck, listen to those first. This episode will shed light on why it may feel like growth is breaking your business.

Topics Adrienne covers in this episode:

• Questions to ask yourself to determine if you have a deliver bottleneck
• Indicators + metrics of a deliver bottleneck
• What to do if you are able to grow while maintaining the quality of service
• Several ways you can solve a delivery bottleneck

You would think that growing quickly would be fantastic! And sometimes it is. But many times, fast growth breaks a business and creates a delivery/capacity bottleneck. Through Clockwork, we help you identify your bottleneck + create a solution based on your metrics so you can grow, scale and serve with excellence at an even higher capacity.

Based on what you learned in this episode, do you think you have a Delivery bottleneck? Or do your metrics indicate an Attract or Convert bottleneck? Let us know on Instagram! And make sure to tune in next week for the last episode in the series about the Cash/Collect bottleneck.
