EP12: Complete Criteria

“It can often seem like your team is lazy and doing the
minimum amount of work. But the fact is, you’re not setting
complete criteria.”

Nic Peterson (1:14-1:26)


 


How do you know when a task is truly complete? Businesses grow
and scale when they apply one key concept that most organizations
miss. Understanding “complete criteria” can save your business
hundreds of thousands of dollars. It eliminates the waste of time
that occurs when your organization doesn’t know what “done”
actually means.


 


Parents tell their children to clean their rooms. But “clean”
means different things to different people. This results in
conflict, delays, and frustration. The same thing applies to your
business. You might tell a team member to create a sales funnel
or make calls to prospects. They do the task, but you come back
to find it’s not complete according to your criteria.



“Alignment happens when complete criteria have been identified,
and everyone knows when the task is complete.” - Nic Peterson
(1:40-1:49)

Business owners often think employees are being lazy or just not
doing complete work. But the real problem is that you’re not
setting complete criteria. You have to align the entire team so
everyone understands and meets the criteria for completion.


 


This keeps you from having to do the same things over again,
which wastes time and money. It lets you know when tasks are done
so you take the next step in the process. Setting complete
criteria means doing the task and then having everyone agree on
what “complete” looks like.



Complete Criteria Maximizes Profit in Your
Business
The few minutes it takes to establish complete criteria
throughout your organization can save you time and thousands of
dollars. You streamline your workflow when everyone knows they
can do X only after Y is complete.


 


A sales funnel isn’t complete if you leave out automations, split
testing, and other important elements. Losing a week to go back
and make corrections is costly when you’re spending large sums of
money on driving traffic each week.



“Some tasks might be two tasks. But you only know it when you
establish complete criteria and a date of completion.” - Nic
Peterson (4:16-4:25)



Creating complete criteria means establishing a completion date.
This allows you to start making the right decisions at the right
times to avoid costly delays.


 


“This is complete when…” should be the foundation of taking on or
assigning any task within your organization. When you create
complete criteria, you maximize profits while eliminating the
delays that hold businesses back. You gain a leading edge over
your competitors and put your business on the path to consistent
growth for the future.
