Every opportunity you have to scale your business starts with a line of fear that you have to step across. You've gotten to the point you are now by stepping across that line 100 times before, and this is just one more. And when you step across it and make this investment in yourself, both monetarily and time wise, and partner with a company like Zenpilot to get this work done, you are going to see a return. So you really have no reason not to. Hey there. I'm Kim Garman Hummel, chief growth strategist at Sauce Marketing where we craft stories that sell and systems that scale to deliver websites that work. So the day before I reached out to Zenpilot, I was feeling overwhelmed and disappointed. We had lost a couple of very valuable employees. The thing that they both said in their exit interview is that it felt, felt like they were paving the road as they go when it came to doing the work within the business. But we didn't realize how much work we needed to do in our processes. We had been using another project management platform. We came to ClickUp from it. We came to ClickUp because we wanted to work with Zenpilot, not ClickUp and then Zenpilot. We were just feeling like we don't ever want to feel this way again. And there's not really any good reason that we should have to. When, when a company like Zenpilot exists, it's a valid concern. How much time is this going to take out of my schedule, out of my employee's schedule? What are we not going to be able to do because we're doing this? And I have to tell you that we were in a position where we couldn't afford not to. So we just had to make it happen. Now that we have ClickUp in place with the Zenpilot guided implementation, on a day to day, my team of leaders and I are able to make decisions based on data and facts versus what we think is happening. And so knowing is half the battle. O Joe. The other thing that I think would be the biggest, you know, transformation of this process is having one system to look at and know where we stand on any given piece of work. If a client asks, it's not hard for me to get in there and look and know where we are. And it's also very wonderful to have the time tracking built in so that we can see where we are profitable and where we're not. You know, we're not required to be dependent on Zenpilot going forward forever. We have the opportunity to work through the elite support program to get their expert input and, you know, advice and work as well. And we can still use everything that they've helped us build out to do what we need to do.
