Tired of playing catch-up with your project calendar?
You Need a System
(FOUR, TO BE EXACT)
Standardized workflows will allow you to take back control of your scheduling, better forecast your income, increase your project management capacity, and—most importantly—decrease your active admin needs so your time at the desk can focus on billable hours.
Workflows can be scary...
But what if we viewed our systems as arcs to our projects' stories?
Every manuscript has its unique needs for the editorial process—but that doesn't mean we as editors need to reinvent the wheel for every project's workflow. In this two-hour webinar recording, editor and business coach Amber Helt will walk you through how to take a step back from your business and create a standardized workflow for your services. Think of it like a beat sheet for your editing services. From sales to project onboarding to editing checkpoints and final deliverables, we'll discuss the critical checkpoints in the project workflow and how to adjust the skeletal structure to accommodate the project's unique needs while creating dependable, predictable timetables.
Through this Webinar, You'll Learn:
- The principles behind why we need systems in our editing projects.
- How to identify your unique needs within your business's four primary systems: sales, onboarding, projects, and offboarding.
- Where in your services the systems are the same (thus saving you time) versus unique (thus requiring special attention).
- How to schedule your projects so you never feel overbooked or underworked again.
- How to use "Save the G.O.A.T." (the business version of Save the Cat) to beat sheet your workflows.
- What "Administrative Archetypes" are available to you to further streamline your projects.
- Downloadable beat sheet for your four workflows included!
