Make a Plan
With the end of the year approaching and the holiday season upon us, it's time to set yourself up for success in 2023! We must plan NOW to have an impact. And while a business plan is essential every year, it's imperative this year as we work through the challenges of an economic downturn. Why is a business plan so valuable?
FOCUS In a harsher economic climate, a business plan will keep you focused, preventing any knee-jerk, quick reactions to unforeseen obstacles. It will also help reduce uncertainty by outlining your next steps, goals, and business details.
EVALUATION It’s a perfect time to evaluate what was working in the past year and what wasn’t. Try doing a team SWOT analysis.
SUCCESS Writing down your monthly goals makes it much likelier you'll achieve them. A study from Dr. Matthews at Dominican University in California found writing down goals makes it 42% more likely you'll accomplish those goals.
ACCOUNTABILITY Goals should be specific, measurable and actionable - a business plan ensures they will be.
DIRECTION A business plan is like a beacon of light should you find yourself in the shadows of the unknown; it is always there to guide you to a place of success. It’s a proven strategic device you can rely on through roadblocks that may hinder your path to progress.
GROWTH During your business planning process, you'll likely encounter new opportunities for growth that arise organically from your brainstorming and planning sessions.
At Real Advantage Title, we are committed to all our employees' continued growth in 2023! We have developed two programs for our escrow teams to grow their book of business, even in a challenging market. "Jump Start" will help get your business off the ground, and "Best from Your Desk" will help you find those extra clients that will get your revenue soaring. Both programs are a great place to start as you develop your plan for success for 2023 and beyond. We will soon have a new bank of resources for all employees, from writing better emails to Excel 101.
We look forward to expanding our footprint, growing from within in 2023, and positioning ourselves for the future!
