Marlene Powell - The Cost of Neglecting Your Team’s Development

As an influencer, my team and I create or co-create content to support brands, endorse products and services, with the goal of boosting brand awareness and driving sales.
Are you running your business on hope and excuses?
What are the hidden costs of not upskilling you and your team?
Over my more than 16 years as a business coach, I’ve worked with many business owners who are running their companies on a hope and a prayer, with no formal or informal training for themselves, their managers, or their sales teams. They wonder why their businesses are struggling, yet they refuse to acknowledge the root cause of the lack of skills development in key areas. Instead of taking responsibility, they point fingers and use excuses, blaming the market, the economy, or their staff.
But here’s the harsh reality...You don’t know what you don’t know, and this unconscious ignorance is costing you far more than you realise. When business owners, managers, and sales teams lack formal training, it has a profound ripple effect. Productivity plummets, teams become disengaged, and staff turnover spikes. The cost of re-hiring and retraining alone can drain an already struggling business. Worse, the long-term damage to your organisation’s performance and culture is immeasurable.
I’ve seen too many business owners bury their heads in the sand, refusing to invest in training because they’re too focused on “keeping the lights on” and paying bills. But this penny-wise, pound-foolish approach is not sustainable. The truth is you can’t afford not to invest in upskilling your team. If your managers can’t lead effectively, your salespeople don’t know how to close deals, and you don’t have the skills to steer the business, how do you expect to survive, let alone thrive?
