Circle Meeting 9: Automation Processes
**Date:** Jan 23, 2025
**Time:** 6pm
**Location:** Coffee Bar Buro, 10 Water St, Vancouver
Join us for our next session of the **Vancouver Entrepreneurs’ Hurdles & Solutions Circle**, where we will explore **Automation Processes**.
As entrepreneurs, we all face similar challenges and obstacles, but how we navigate these issues can vary based on our experiences and knowledge. In this group, we discuss our current hurdles and share our approaches to overcoming them. This is a space where you can explain the difficulties you're facing and receive valuable insights from fellow entrepreneurs who have encountered similar issues.
Our goal is not to dictate what you should do but to offer a range of perspectives and solutions that have worked for others. For instance, if you're struggling with making your sales team achieve their goals, we’ll discuss how different members set KPIs, manage sales funnels, and use motivation techniques.
In this meeting, we will delve into the practical aspects of automating business processes. We won’t provide direct solutions but will discuss and share experiences on the following topics:
- **Cost of Automation:** How do you evaluate the costs of automation tools versus the cost of hiring employees?
- **Programs and Tools:** What programs and tools, like Zapier, have you used for automation? What have been your experiences?
- **Automation Opportunities:** What tasks and processes can you effectively automate in your business?
- **ROI of Automation:** How do you measure the return on investment (ROI) of your automation efforts?
- **Worth of Automation:** Is automation worth the investment for your business? What factors influence this decision?
Prepare to share your experiences, challenges, and insights into automation. This session is a chance to discuss what has worked for you and learn from others’ approaches.
**Meeting Guidelines:**
1. **Share Your Challenges:** Discuss the difficulties you face with automation and how you address them.
2. **Respect Confidentiality:** Keep shared information within the group and respect the privacy of others.
3. **Engage Respectfully:** Participate in discussions constructively and with respect for differing viewpoints.
4. **Optional Anonymity:** Feel free to join the discussion without revealing personal or business details if you prefer.
**Please Note:** This is a free event, and we are not selling products, services, or consulting. Our goal is to share knowledge, learn from each other, and build a supportive community.
We look forward to an insightful discussion and learning from each other’s experiences with automation processes!
