Behind the Design

🎉 Welcome back, design and window treatment rock stars! 🎉 Ready to kick off the week with a fresh take on leveling up your business? We've got you covered 🤗 Today’s #MoMon dives into a sneaky issue that can slow down even the best teams—process duplication! While this often creeps into legacy businesses, it can happen to new ventures, too. 🔍 Pro Tip: Try our "Click Method"! Count how many clicks (or steps) it takes to complete a process. Record each step in detail to reveal where unnecessary duplication may be hiding. Spoiler: Transfer of information is a common culprit! 💡 Hot Tip: Automation can help clear up these messy overlaps and give you back time to focus on what truly matters. Catch today’s video with our ringleader, Jessica, as she breaks down types of duplication and practical ways to streamline your operations. 🎬✨ Ready to boost efficiency?
