Teams with direct drive to the revenue, I visualize them as the fastest cars on the planet 🚗 , but sometimes even those cars wake up to flat tires, and now they are biking 🚲 -- still showing up!
What does this mean? Humor me I have a point...
🚲 today, My ID 1234 is experiencing cost spikes
🚲 today, My ID 1235 is experiencing account denials
🚲 today, My ID 1236 is experiencing ad fatigue
You get the picture, those are some flat tires to momentum....
Sharing this in real time with your team helps streamline the efficiencies on the never ending pursuit for the "why"...
So, WHY is this important:
Many orgs have yield departments and AMs that are constantly refreshing dashboards to monitor trends--this has numerous layers of intricacies. Outwardly shouting that bike commute will have them now read the data with some added variables they may not have taken into consideration or even known about....
I repeat, it is OK to share downfalls! In fact, I challenge more people to shout them from the rooftops!
We may be fast cars most of the days, with bike rides sprinkled in ---but we are always showing up.
Don't shy away from sharing those 🚲 rides, because when you have a true TEAM mentality they pick up the steam where they can to eliminate any drastic deficit.
This is not just for internal communication efficiencies, carrying this same mentality with partners builds stronger relationships and can cascade into larger wins. I dare you to try it.
P.S. Don't let the format and emojis fool you --this was NOT written with ChatGPT/AI, this was straight from the business heart that beats loud and proud each day for my team, hope it resonates with a few of you!
P.S.S. getting the " 🚗 we back vroom vroooooom" ping is even sweeter once you see how the team join forces together!
