? “Why does my team keep coming to me with questions instead of making decisions?” ? “Sales pipeline optimization… what does that actually mean, and how do I do it?” If you’ve asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone and we’re tackling them head-on. Chris Smith, Brad Pearse, Brett Bjorkquist, PMP, and I are back next week with another high-impact webinar for the CEDIA community. ?? February 26 at 12:00 PM – We’re breaking down these two critical areas that can transform your business: ?? Optimizing Your Sales Pipeline to Close More Deals A structured sales process can increase performance by 33%—but most businesses don’t have one. We’ll show you what optimization really looks like and how to build a pipeline that converts. ? The Four Reasons People Ask Questions If your team constantly defers decisions or escalates issues, there’s a reason. We’ll show you how to pinpoint who is asking, what they’re asking, and why—so you can break the cycle and create a more efficient, empowered team. Register here ???? https://lnkd.in/eNeg2rRZ

Your Software Won’t Fix Broken Processes...but the G.U.I.D.E. Cohort can! ???? You invested in Project Management Software, (D-Tools Inc., iPoint, LLC, ProjX360, Portal.io, Jetbuilt, etc.) thinking it would streamline everything. But here’s the reality: Software can’t fix what’s undefined. ? Task templates sit unused because they don’t match how work actually gets done. ? Your team is still asking, “What’s next?” even though everything is “in the system.” ? The client experience still feels disjointed, even with automation in place. One GUIDE Cohort attendee put it best: ?? “We took The Client Journey, what existed and what we learned in this cohort, and translated it into D-Tools Cloud. This let us consolidate what we had and align it better to our Client Journey.” This is the missing link. The GUIDE Cohort helps you map out the right process first, so your software actually works for you, not against you. If you want to stop forcing workarounds and start optimizing D-Tools (or whatever system you use), this is your chance. ?? Learn how to build task templates that actually get used ?? Align your software to your real-world process ?? Streamline project handoffs, team workflows, and the client experience The next cohort is filling up, get in while you can and register now ???? https://lnkd.in/eWajGh_P Interested in learning more first?

The Chaos Tax is Real ?? ? “We think we have processes in place, but it’s really just in people’s heads.” ? “Explosive growth is outpacing our ability to operate efficiently.” ? “Communication breakdowns and unmotivated techs are costing us time and money.” These are real struggles that CEDIA Integrators submitted before joining the G.U.I.D.E. Cohort. But after going through the Cohort, here is what they had to say. ???? ? “This course gave me a clear understanding of how to streamline our operations.” ? “The live sessions and tools helped us finally make progress where we were stuck.” ? “For the price of entry, it’s a great way to turn ideas into action.” If you’re tired of pushing through chaos and hoping things will just ‘click,’ it’s time to fix the root problems.

“The difference between order and chaos is the ability to define, document, and refine your processes.” said one past G.U.I.D.E. Cohort attendee. As a Custom Integrator, you know you need better processes, but you don’t have time to build them. So, you keep firefighting. Your team keeps working around the gaps. And every project feels harder than it should. That’s what past attendees thought too! Until they joined the GUIDE Cohort. ?? Tools that make implementation easier ??

Is your growth outpacing your Operations? ?? "Growing from $850K to $2.2M, then from $2.2M to $5.5M in 3 years was great… until we realized our processes weren’t keeping up." That’s what one Custom Integration firm who is a past G.U.I.D.E. Cohort attendee shared. And they’re not alone. Scaling without solid processes = More stress. More mistakes. More frustration. After the GUIDE Cohort? ?“We finally have structure, sanity, and security.” ?“I would put an operations employee in this session ASAP.” ?“For the price, it’s the best way to fix the gaps in your business.” If your a CEDIA Custom Integrator and your Operations aren’t keeping up with your Sales, it’s time to fix it.?

Does your Custom Integration Business need SOP’s and Checklists or do you need a G.U.I.D.E.? At some point, every Integration Firm faces the same challenge. Your growth outpaces your processes and systems. Selling more only makes the problem worse. SOP's and Checklists are great, but they don't give you a strategy for identifying and fixing all of the operational gaps. Knowledge Gaps - lack of clarity on how the work gets done. Software Gaps - disconnected tools slowing down operations. Alignment Gaps - poor handoffs causing things to fall through the cracks. The tools I developed for the G.U.I.D.E. Cohort give you the right lens to view your business through so that you can build a foundation for scaling. One of those tools are 32 Industry Standard SOP's, Checklists and communication templates. The next G.U.I.D.E. Cohort kicks off February 21st and spots are filling up.

So what do you walk away with after attending the G.U.I.D.E. Cohort? ?? A set of tools built for your CEDIA or AVIXA Integration business that creates clarity, fosters alignment, and give you what you need to build the foundation for scaling your business effectively. ?? The Client Journey: A detailed workflow that maps out how clients move through your business and gives you the lens to identify knowledge gaps, software gaps and alignment gqps. ?? The Client Experience: A framework to align your team on delivering exceptional client interactions at every stage of the process. This allows you to set expectations up front with a client and let them know what you will deliver by phase and what they are responsible for. ?? Email Communication Templates: Pre-built templates that streamline communication, reduce miscommunication, and ensure professionalism in every interaction. ?? Standard Operating Procedures: Customizable templates for documenting key processes, so your team works smarter and stays consistent and a set of industry standard checklists giving you a place to start. ?? Responsibility Matrix: A tool to clarify roles, eliminate confusion, and drive accountability across your team. And beyond the tools, you'll gain invaluable insight from collaborating with like-minded peers, sharing solutions, learning from real-world experiences, and sparking ideas that help everyone move forward in a small group setting. Most companies don't know where to start. The G.U.I.D.E. Cohort is your cheat code to get started. Interested in learning more? Join tomorrow’s preview webinar! (registration link in the comments).

Webinars inspire. Workshops teach. Cohorts transform. If you’ve ever signed off from a webinar feeling inspired or left a workshop with a notebook full of ideas, only to return to the chaos of your business with no time to implement...you’re not alone. That’s why I built the G.U.I.D.E. Cohort specifically for Custom Integrators in the CEDIA and AVIXA Channel. It’s not just another learning event, it’s a collaborative experience designed for small business owners who want more than just knowledge on how to streamline their operations. In the G.U.I.D.E. cohort, you’ll: ? Work alongside peers who are navigating the same challenges you are, sharing lessons learned and real-world solutions. ? Apply what you learn in real-time, with guidance and tools tailored to your business. ? Leave with tools that will deliver results, not just notes. It’s not about theory; it’s about having the tools to transform how you operate. Unlike webinars or workshops, this cohort is about long-term progress through focused, collaborative learning over multiple sessions. You’ll have time to test, iterate, and refine, not just absorb information. Are you ready to take the next step in your business? Join me on January 29th at 1 PM EST to learn more about how the G.U.I.D.E. Cohort will give you the tools to transform your Custom Integrations operations in 2025. Link in the comments ????

"Joining the G.U.I.D.E. Cohort was one of the best decisions we made in 2024!" James Hathaway ?? Every CEDIA and AVIXA Integration firm I work with faces the same set of challenges. "We don’t have clearly defined SOPs" "Things keep getting lost in the shuffle, and poor communication slows us down." "Our processes aren’t documented, and there’s no accountability for following them." Sound familiar? The GUIDE Cohort was designed for Integration firms who know the pain of inefficiencies, missed handoffs, and inconsistency. It’s a space to roll up your sleeves, gain practical tools, and create clarity in your operations with a group of others looking to achieve the same goal...build a solid foundation for scaling. Interested in the February Cohort? Seats are limited! If you are ready to make one of your best business decision in 2025 like James did in 2024, join me for an informational overview on January 29th at 1 PM EST to learn more.
