The Financial Fundamentals Workshop is coming up next month and we’ve got a preview ahead on this week’s episode of Out of the Hourglass with Kathryn Freeman, Sr. Business Coach & Director of Operations at Nolan Consulting Group.

We are quickly entering the Fall Season and it’s going to be an interesting next few months with a lot of factors at play. This is a time where we focus on leaning into what we can control - and one of those things we CAN control is thoroughly understanding the financial management of our companies. This workshop and conversation is geared towards ensuring we are setting the foundational pieces for peeling back the P&L Report and being able to ask the right questions and read the story of what’s actually happening in the business.

Sydney Bates, Project Manager at Nolan Consulting Group, brings us into the world of process documentation and the framework for the why, the how and the impact a solid work flow documentation system can have on your business.

This is a topic we’ve discussed in an early episode on Out of the Hourglass, but it’s been some time and so much has changed in the way of technology and how our operations are needing to adapt to be as efficient as possible.

With desires to implement AI and Automation, you have to recognize that building and maintaining the blueprint of your company operations must come first. Sydney shares the Nolan Consulting Group approach and her insights on successful facilitation of this operational exercise.

Today we’re connecting with Tamara Chase, Co-Owner and CEO of Chase Roofing based in Pompano Beach, FL on a topic that should resonate with us all. Like many of you, Tamara wears many different hats - in addition to running a business, she is also a Speaker, a Mentor, Host of the Pink Hard Hat Podcast, a mom, a wife, a grandmother and so much more! She is living life in the fast lane with a lot of role responsibilities, constant access to technology, and demands from all sides - it can be overwhelming!

To combat this, Tamara has focused in on the Power of the Pause, an intentional practice of disconnecting, recalibrating and reenergizing to be more efficient in her productivity and more in tune with what she needs to be the best version of herself. It’s 15 minutes of pause that can generate so much impact. And this isn’t just something Tamara is personally doing, she has embedded this into the culture at Chase Roofing.

So what does it look like for you to disconnect for a few minutes, to step away from technology and responsibility for 15 minutes, to connect with yourself or with somebody else? Give it a try and remember - consistency is key!

Colin Nolan takes over as host in this episode of Out of the Hourglass for “How’d They Do That” conversation with George Apap, President of George Apap Painting based in Patterson, NY.

Frustrated by high marketing spend without recognizable return and customer acquisition costs that seem unsustainable, George was determined to find a better way to increase leads through a cost effective avenue. Through disciplined sales behaviors, networking consistency and genuine relationship based outreach, George and his team are seeing the impact of face to face marketing more so than ever before and the momentum is only continuing to grow!

We’re featuring Jim Falk, the VP of Sales at Nolan Painting and a Sales Coach here at Nolan Consulting Group on today’s episode of Out of the Hourglass. Jim recently co-facilitated a Sales Fundamentals Workshop for Summit Members focused on executing and mastering the Sales Process. As part of this workshop, he spoke on a topic called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and how it can be applied to Sales and your prospect interactions. NLP through Sales focuses on using specific words, actions and tonality to build connections with potential customers. It’s the simplicity of this strategy that brings so much impact, and we thought it worth a share!

To get us started, we’ll connect with Jim one-on-one for a check in on the state of Sales in this current environment, the challenges that are arising as a result and what he and his team are working on to give it their best shot at hitting their Sales goals.
