An Effective Performance Management Process
Can have a HUGE impact on your business...
One of the key ways to create real leverage in your business is through well trained, motivated, and productive team members who are focused on the right goals.
An effective team performance management process (also called employee reviews, appraisals, or evaluations) is the prerequisite for long term productivity and the growth of your organization. Employee reviews are the forum for your managers and employees to insure communication, teamwork, initiative and productivity remain at peak levels. Properly executed they have the following benefits:
-
Boost the performance of every individual on your team
- Enhance team compatibility
-
Foster communication
-
Cultivate individual talents by reinforcing productive practices
-
Measure performance in relation to goals
-
Increase self awareness by comparing an individual's perceptions to the perceptions of others
-
Eliminate integrity, reliability and work-ethic issues
-
Clarify the expectations of others
-
Build stronger, more effective leaders
All of these reasons are positive. However, in surveys, many managers say the tone of their reviews are negative and ineffective. The following article outlines the 10 Reasons Why Employees Reviews Don't Work.

Complimentary Consultation
This is your chance to get expert feedback on how you can get more of what you really want from your business; whether that is more money, better staff, more free time, more fun, or a combination of all four.
What is the Process?
We will ask you a few brief questions on the phone and then if it makes sense we will arrange a time for your complimentary consultation. We will ask you to fill out a brief background questionnaire in advance. It is only 2 pages long and takes less than 5 minutes. Then we will send you information about us and what we do that you can review at your convenience.
In our meeting, we'll ask you about your business, your goals and your challenges - what's working and what's not working. We'll give you feedback on your current situation and come up with at least a couple of ideas that you can implement in your business right away!
Then you can decide what the right next step is for you.
Will I get a Hard Sales Pitch?
No. While we do encourage you to make a yes or no decision concerning one of our programs, there are a number of reasons why we readily accept a decision not to proceed.
- We have been at this a long time and we know business coaching is a service that is bought and not sold. So, sales "tricks" are neither appropriate nor effective.
- Because we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, it is in our interest to only work with people that are excited about moving forward. Our time is too valuable to work for no return.
- Our agreements are simple month to month agreements that can be easily cancelled. At the risk of being called lazy; we do a lot of extra work in the first few months that we don't bill extra for. Since we like to maximize our own productivity, we want people that will stay with us a long time.
- We have a limited ability to accept new clients. At any time, we usually only have space in our private coaching programs for 1 or 2 new clients. Again, we want people that are excited about moving forward and who are likely to want to stay in the program for a long time.
If I Decide to Go Ahead What Will it Cost?
There is no cost to the complimentary consultation. If you decide to go ahead and become a client, a coaching program will be developed to suit your requirements and your budget. Our clients pay an agreed upon flat rate per month based on their requirements. There are no hourly charges or billing surprizes. The current rate for our low intensity program is $1350 per month.
Since There is Nothing to Lose What's Next?
Don't you really owe it to yourself and to those who depend on your business to find out if there is a better way? If you agree, call Sandy Kemp at 416-483-9251 or 905-943-4265.
