Svetlina, writing SOP’s makes my brain hurt. It’s so much paperwork! I think I will postpone creating them.”–client says
Well, I think my client is not the only one thinking that way. Creating standard operating procedures seems like the most boring task to do.
Not to mention, all of the resources out there that tell you how to do it but not exactly.
Leaving you more confused than you were. Am I right?
Let me tell you a secret. If you seek consistency in your performance in relation to your customers/ clients and thinking of hiring somebody to help you out - SOPs will be your best friend.
But if you are at the very beginning of your entrepreneurial journey you can reduce the overwhelm by creating minimum viable processes (MVPs) that will be a perfect base for SOP later down the line.
“Wait, what?! I’ve never heard of them”– client says
I know, I know ….. MVPs are made of a bare framework – only title and process included nothing else.
And you have it! Creating MVPs for relatable tasks in your business is an easy and quick first step if you are seeking that consistency and thinking of building your way up to having a team.
What do you include?
Title / Objective / Procedure
Pro Tip: If you are more into making videos. MVPs are perfect for that, it’s a “how-to” video.
