Let’s face it, making decisions can feel overwhelming. But sometimes, all it takes is a simple question to spark a change and a result.
Quite often we don’t ask direct questions, they can feel awkward, rude or trigger a niggling concern for what the response could be. Anxiety, self-doubt or imposter syndrome may prevent us asking the questions in the first place.
However clear, direct questions will cut through the noise.
They will encourage positive decisions and reveal a clear way to move forward, they will make a big difference in areas such as forecasting, hiring, planning and business development.
Do you ask Yes/No questions? Or is there a hesitancy to be so direct?
Well, we’re not backward in coming forward, so here’s our first question to you:
Is sticking with the same old Preferred Supplier List (PSL) holding your business back?
- Yes? Book a discovery call to discuss what’s been happening and to instantly find a better solution.
- No? Even if you’re satisfied, there’s always room for improvement. Let’s chat about how we can help you stay ahead of the competition and optimise your supplier strategy.
At this stage it might be ‘I don’t know’ so instead, here and now, let us ask you another question:
Would trying a new recruitment strategy open the door to better talent and fresh ideas?
If you answered YES, let us action the change. If your answer is NO, it might be worth revisiting question 1 to explore why.
So, in essence, simple questions can lead to big results:
- Will You change your approach in 2025?
- Will You consider other options?
- Will You make the change?
- Will You focus on value(s)?
- Will You implement an alternative?
- Will You have a timeline?
- Will You focus on quality (not quantity)?
- Will You future-proof your strategies?
- Will You explore alternatives to the PSL?
Taking action will make a positive impact on your team, your business, your profit margins.
Sometimes, one small question can spark a positive change.
Will You?
