Green Profits: Mastering Systems for Landscaping Success with Nicola Depiazzi

In this weeks episode I am chatting with Nicola Depiazzi who after 7 years of experience running a marketing consultancy and then expanding her expertise as an NLP coach, Nicola discovered Systemology and started Green Pillars Consulting to help SMEs change the way they do business, led by systems. This is a huge area that many business owners including us businesses in the landscaping industry struggle with but the aim is to achieve complete business reliability and to help founders step away from the day to day operations, stop micro managing and claim back that elusive work life balance. In this episode we chatted about lack of productivity and time management that many of us have and that a simple (well maybe not simple) but a solution to this is developing and implementing systems which is what Nicola does best. Nicola works alongside businesses to develop a sustainable business with a systems culture that gives owners the space to dedicate more time to growth and business development, as well as to enjoy the things they love, like family time & holidays (and don’t we all strive for this as business owners). The key with systems is to avoid key person dependency. When vital knowledge is solely within team members' or founders’ heads the business is at risk. Documenting the knowledge, developing best practice and evolving into a systems-led business ultimately delivers less errors, improved efficiency and increased profit. I asked Nicola what is the number one tip to get started with systems and that was following Systemology’s Critical Client Flow (CCF) the basis is to capture 20% of the systems that generate 80% of the revenue. You can find out all about this through Nicola (see details below) or reading the book Systemology by David Jennings (I am currently a third through the book myself). There is another element to make adopting and implementing systems easier and that is through appointing a systems champion and that can be someone in-house or someone you hire specifically for this purpose or sub-contract it out. It can be easy you just need to get started ;) If you want help with growing your landscaping business get in touch with me, that's what I do best.
