Objectives For Agency Growth
Have You Established Objectives For Agency Growth?
Every Company must establish Objectives for the firm, communicate them to the team, and measure/monitor them constantly.
Every employee must understand the company’s Objectives and know clearly how they can contribute to achieving them. Their performance should be monitored towards these objectives.
For most staff members the key question is “what’s in it for me?” – once they understand how company growth impacts them they always ask “how can I help?”
A starting point for agency principals is setting the high level objectives – these will go a long way to helping you recruit/retain talent and grow:
- Meet or exceed financial objectives
- Revenue
- Net Income
- % Growth
- Maximize customer relevance
- Communication
- Capabilities
- Services
- Operational excellence
- Process
- Internal integration
- Utilization
- Professional growth and development
- Training
- Events
- Associations
- Enhance company culture
- Fun events
- Knowledge exchange
We have discussed in the past how every agency should establish Objectives that can be measured, that are not subjective. They should have a number, a percentage, a date associated. Objectives should include financial, operations, organization, business development, etc.
These start at the top and employee objectives roll-up to meet these.
