    Many business owners assume employees think like them, but that’s rarely the case. When roles and responsibilities aren’t clearly defined, businesses lose time, money, and opportunities. A prime example? A high-end dental surgeon lost leads on $50,000 procedures because the wrong employee was assigned to follow up. With proper alignment, he could have closed more deals!

    💼 Whether you own a small business, salon, dental practice, or marketing agency, setting the right expectations can increase productivity, improve employee satisfaction, and boost revenue.
