Are you being a good Chief Systems Officer for your wedding planning business?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the 8 CEOs: systems.

Larger corporations have CIOs (Chief Information Officers) but I prefer to think of this role as the CSO (Chief Systems Officer). It’s less I.T.-based and more focused on using tech to develop structures that set your business apart from competitors. 

If you’ve never heard of CSOs before, don’t worry about it! As your wedding industry mentor, I’m teaching you everything you need to know in this quick and actionable episode. 

If you missed the last episode, Kevin Dennis talked all about the systems that he uses and recommends, so if you want to learn more about what’s out there, be sure to go back and catch that one too!

 

Topics We’re Covering in This Episode:

  • What a Chief Systems Officer does 
  • Similarities between the CSO and COO
  • The foundation for great operations 
  • Finding systems that work for you and your business 
  • Looking out for new systems 
  • When to review your existing systems 
  • Some of the systems that I use 
  • How to streamline your wedding business 
  • Using systems to their fullest potential

 

What is clunky and frustrating in your business right now? Could there be a system to help you with it? It’s worth doing some research to see what’s out there. Systems are there to make your life easier and your business operations smoother.
