Nature's Bakery’s Post

So last week I got my amazing team together from all over Europe to the iconic Royal Albert Hall for an offsite around the theme of "Unite and Ignite". The energy and collaboration across the team was fantastic and I know that everyone went away feeling very inspired after some brilliant sessions on Growth Mindset, Continuous Collaboration and an outstanding presentation from Paul Cash - Author of 'Humanizing B2B' #findyourbetter #teamviewer #growthmindset #dreamteam

Sweaty smiles and sore legs! Just crushed a 14 KM run with our sales superstar, Brett M.. 🏃♂️🏃♀️ It wasn't just about the distance; it was about building stronger bonds and trust within our BALANCED+ team. Pushing our limits together, side-by-side, translates into a more connected and resilient team in the office too. Just like on the road, we support each other, celebrate milestones, and tackle challenges head-on. That's how we win, both on the pavement and in the boardroom. How do you build connections with your team in and out of the office? #TeamBuilding #CompanyCulture #BALANCEDPlus #StrongerTogether

Happy Friday from steamy Nashville! If you’re trying to improve productivity or just level-up personal skills, you might be tempted by the allure of grand gestures and monumental changes. However, the secret to sustainable success lies in the power of small, consistent actions. By making tiny adjustments in our daily routines, we can achieve significant, long-term results. This principle, known as the compound effect, highlights how incremental improvements accumulate over time to create substantial outcomes. Consider the example of a business professional who decides to dedicate just 10 minutes each day to reading industry news. Initially, this may seem insignificant compared to more substantial commitments. Yet, over a year, this small habit equates to more than 60 hours of industry knowledge, keeping them ahead of trends and competitors. Similarly, a manager who implements daily check-ins with their team can build stronger relationships, foster better communication, and enhance overall productivity, all through a minor but consistent effort. The key to leveraging small changes is consistency. It’s easy to dismiss these small actions as too trivial to matter, but their true power lies in their regularity. Imagine a sales professional who makes just one additional call each day. Over a year, that’s an extra 250 calls, potentially leading to dozens of new clients and increased revenue. The consistency of the small action leads to significant business growth. Additionally, small changes are easier to implement and maintain compared to radical shifts. They require less willpower and can seamlessly integrate into existing routines. This makes them more sustainable in the long run. For instance, a CEO who aims to improve his leadership skills might start by dedicating a few minutes each day to reflect on his interactions and identify areas for improvement. This gradual approach is more manageable and less overwhelming, leading to sustained personal growth. In conclusion, the power of small changes should not be underestimated. In business, where every decision counts, leveraging the compound effect of tiny, consistent actions can lead to monumental success. By focusing on incremental improvements, you can drive significant long-term results without the need for drastic changes or overwhelming efforts.

Say hello to Mike Ocheltree from our Nashville office on this week’s Tenured Tuesday:   "The Loyalty Program allows me to have a presence in the community, as well as become a trusted connector and solutions provider through consistent utilization of the Insperity platform.   Having the Loyalty Program as a support mechanism is critical and a differentiator overall in the business community. The ability to engage, support and build relationships makes life as a BPA much better.   A best practice is focusing on loyalty events with an intentional split of getting folks there that bring value to my partners and simply asking them to do the same, including collaborating on guest lists for maximum impact of who is in the room."   How has your experience with the Loyalty Program enhanced your role as a Business Performance Advisor?

The AfterSell team offsite was an incredible 2-day experience that took place last week in Victoria B.C 🏔 ✈️ And what we realized after the event, is that the AfterSell team is quickly on their way to greatness 🏆 Each member of the team is a master of their individual discipline and dedicated to supercharging growth, which is required to scale a growing business 🚀 So how did we build such an incredible team? We interviewed for the following traits in the following order of importance: 1. Humanity first ❤️: More critical than any other traits, as we were hiring the AfterSell team, we interviewed for humanity. For empathy, for EQ, for strength of character. 2. Mission-driven 🌟: Almost everyone joined AfterSell for its mission to help eCommerce brands drive more revenue with our best-in-class upselling features - and it's a deep connection to that mission that binds us together. 3. Function expertise 💼: Our team members are best-in-class for their function and levels. Our interview process enabled us to confirm that they know their stuff so that now we have trust in their knowledge. As part of our day, we split up into teams and set-up a contest to see who could come up with the most 🔥 idea to drive growth for Network Offers – the winner got to pick between dumping water on Dhruv Patel's head or take advantage of $100's of dollars in free perks... can you guess what we picked? 😂

KB's Spotlight of the Week: Christian Garcia This is a long one, but a well deserving story. 5 years ago when I was tapped to manage an underperforming SMB team (they were 33% to quota in 2018 before I took over), I made Chris my first hire. Chris was an outside the box hire at the time. No sales experience, had a degree in education and at the time of his hire, he was a Senior Pediatric Fitness Specialist. My co-worker who sat next to me, Judith Hanzsche, made a suggestion that I talk to Chris. She just had this gut instinct that he was destined for sales. I owe Judith for life for this suggestion. After talking to him, I agreed, Chris was hired as an account executive. For the first 6 months, I told him to keep his head down and just put in the work. He listened to everything I showed him and then he put his own mark on the blueprint. Stepping up early as the first guy in the office and the last one to leave. The first year of building this team was not easy, a ton of ups and downs as we were building the plane as we were flying it. I kind of compare it to a start up business. A lot of my hires were people from outside the business and we were just trying to ramp them up as fast as possible. But, Chris to his testament stepped up as a leader. He started training the new hires and taking them out into the field. Showing them what I had taught him the year before. During this time Chris was promoted to a Senior Account Executive. That 33% to quota team became a 125% to quota team. Special shoutout to Ken Ober who patiently helped up build this powerhouse team over 3 years. One hell of a leader and just overall great person! Fast forward to 3 years after I hired Chris. I was tapped to take on the Enterprise Sales team in Philadelphia and needed to backfill my position. It was a no brainer, Chris would take over the team. Fast forward a year and a half later. Chris is going to President's Club with my old team because he killed it last year and brought on some outstanding new hires. I'm going to President's Club with my team from Philly because we killed it and special shoutout to Cory DePasquale for coming with me. In closing, I'm looking forward to having a celebratory drink in a few weeks with this gentleman in West Palm Beach to reflect on the last 5 years together. What we achieved together was one of my most proud accomplishments. Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Chris, I thank you for everything, you are one of the hardest working people I've ever met and an even better person. Without you by my side the last couple years, I don't know where I'd be. Thank you my brother!
