There’s a reason why top 1% performers are top 1% performers. They take different actions every single day. They understand the franchise system of their job and they know how they best tie to profit. Having visibility of that and accountability to that in a way that’s not frightening, but supportive, is very important. Using your weekly one-on-one processes, making sure that your people are being communicated with about that, and making sure that they’re taking responsibility to appropriately communicate completely exactly where they’re at on those actions and also how they’re doing in terms of their numbers is really important during difficult times.

What an opportunity.
