The same goes for your team. If they only know 40%, 50% or even 80% of what they should be doing correctly – imagine what your customers think?

It is highly likely they are thinking – ‘Won’t be going there again……’ Can your business afford this in such a competitive environment? A Standard Operating Procedure Manual eliminates this problem.

However, creating these systems take a lot of time and effort. Using a template will save you considerable time and allow you to get a head start in building value into your organization.

In addition to these benefits, it will also help to reduce your concerns about delivering the very best quality to your clients and customers, which you already know is so important for business survival.

6 Breakthrough Advantages of a Standard Operating Procedure Manual

As soon as you mobilize a Standard Operating Procedure Manual you will notice the things that have been frustrating you will start to disappear. The following ‘breakthroughs’ will occur.

1. Consistency

Consistency will start to appear.

Your product or service must be delivered with consistency. Consistency drives repeat business. Repeat business means survival. You can’t rely on getting new customers all the time. You need to satisfy your existing customers, so they return for more and also refer new customers to your business.

The only way to do this is to ensure you and your team are delivering a high-quality product or service every single time.

How do you get your team to deliver to a high quality? Set benchmarks and systems for them to follow by using standard operating procedures.

2. Errors and Mistakes

Errors and mistakes will start to disappear.

Competition is tough. You cannot afford to make mistakes or provide sloppy service. If your customers are not happy, they will simply go elsewhere at the drop of a hat.

Your customers are smart, and they will go elsewhere if you don’t look after them. Meet their expectations.

How do you get your team to reduce mistakes? Set benchmarks and provide checklists for them to use with standard operating procedures.

3. Improved Efficiency

Eliminate rework.

Rework eats up time and profit. Your business will become much more efficient because things will get done correctly the first time. You can’t afford to be completing tasks twice.

Get tasks completed accurately the first time.

4. Improved Quality

Your product or service quality will improve because your team know how to deliver in accordance with the standards. Better quality means you can charge higher prices. Set benchmarks to meet quality requirements.

5. More Profit

Profit will increase.

If you cannot get your product or service to your customers in a consistent and error free manner you will struggle to make a decent profit. If you cannot get customers to come back it will mean more effort to gain new customers.

Depending on what industry you are in, acquiring a new customer is anywhere from 5 to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one.

Therefore, it makes sense to avoid mistakes and retain the right existing customers.

6. Relax a Bit

Feel a bit overwhelmed at times operating your business? Standard Operating Procedures allow you to delegate effectively in accordance with the ‘rules’.

You the business owner will be able to relax a bit more because your team will know they need to abide by the guidelines to perform.

In conclusion, if you do not have a standard operating procedure manual then you are doing it the ‘hard way’.

My search for a procedure manual template took me several days. I was getting really worried when I would read articles that claimed that it takes a few months to write one.

Then, after perseverance, I ended up on this website where the template cost much less than anything else I found online.

At first, I thought it would be something very simple and basic. To my great surprise, it had everything I needed. This Procedures Manual Template will expedite the process of compiling one for your company while sustaining the quality.

I have already started to use the template and customize it to my specific needs. I have looked all over the internet and your template is by far the easiest to use and modify.

Anyone who is looking to get a quick start on a procedure manual that is easy to modify and continuously update, would be well served to purchase your template as it is a “Real Bargain” at the price.
