Why should we audit our wedding business?
I’m not usually one for a lot of “feelings” in business but what I like about assessing how we felt about our business last year or last quarter is how it helps inform us about which parts of our business to focus on improving and which parts went well.
Questions to help get you started:
Did you feel like you were answering the same questions over and over again to couples, vendors, etc?
Did you feel unorganized in any part of your business? Were you constantly “looking” for paperwork, items you need for event days, communication from your couples?
Did you absolutely crush it with your onboarding and offboarding processes and want to repeat exactly what you did to continue to build on that success?
Now that you’ve taken the time to assess your business, we’re ready to audit our business and make a plan for what we’ll improve upon and what can be maintained because it went well.
We’re going to audit 4 key areas of your wedding business:
Marketing Administrative (automation, on-boarding, off-boarding, employees, etc) Finances (taxes, bookkeeping, etc) Event Day
PRO TIP: You can sit down and perform this audit in one full day. Or, you can audit one section per day and take a full week to perform this audit. Do what works best for your schedule.
