Tools

I’m compiling a collection of helpful business tools, resources, forms, spreadsheets, checklists, and documents for you and your entrepreneur friends to use.  Feel free to email me at Jim@PEAKBusinessCoaching.com with any suggestions or requests to add to this set of handy business tools.

Wheel of Life Evaluation Tool

Business is not all about money.  It’s about your quality of life.  We became entrepreneurs because we wanted a better life for ourselves and those around us.  This tool will allow you to evaluate your life (including business) on a holistic level.  Simply click on the link, open and print the document.  Then rank the 8 areas of your life currently and also what level you’d like to be at in one year on a scale of 0 – 10.

Marketing lead follow-up tracking form

It’s important these days to follow up with our leads 6-8 times.  It used to be 3 times, and that’s when most people give up and feel like they’re being “pushy” but the truth is that we are just beginning to be on our potential client’s radar screen with 3 followups.  After 5 follow-ups, conversion rates begin to climb more steeply.  Use this handy tracking form to increase your sales and help more people.

Marketing Plan Calendar

We all need to create a marketing calendar.  A list simply isn’t enough.  We need business tools that help us get things done!  Consistency of marketing is key, so this calendar helps you spread out your marketing tactics from a  visual and timeline perspective, so you and your team can get all your marketing tactics done every month.  You’ll see placeholder examples on this calendar – these are not specific recommendations for your business, so replace them with your focused, effective action items and events.

Year-End Business Review Evaluation Form

Most of us don’t take the time to do a comprehensive business review on an annual basis.  This exercise helps us focus on the most powerful and effective action items, learn from our lessons, stop doing time-wasting activities, and reach our goals the following year faster and easier.  I highly recommend putting this in your year-end business calendar with an automatic scheduling reminder.  This form makes it super easy to do a thorough evaluation efficiently and effectively:

Annual Goals and Action Plan Worksheet

This is a simple and highly effective worksheet to help you write down and plan your goals and action plans to reach your most important business goals this year. When you do this, also think about what has stopped you in the past. How can you do things differently? How will you have to change to truly commit to and achieve your dreams?

Rapid Acceleration Debt Paydown Calculator

This is one of our most popular helpful business tools. The idea here is to capture all your debt information and quickly calculate the fastest possible way to pay down your debt. This tool helps you create your debt paydown plan as easily and rapidly as possible. Now you can create your plan, follow it on a monthly basis and shift your focus from worry and fear of debt to abundance and ways of increasing your income.
