Episode 65 | Courtney Hurley & Kelly Evans | Simplify and Focus to Scale (Part 2) In Part 2 of this insightful conversation, Courtney Hurley and Kelly Evans of Screws and Stilettos return to dive deeper into simplifying business systems and avoiding the overwhelm of disconnected tools. They share real-world examples of businesses bogged down by complexity and how they streamlined processes for success. Kelly reveals the pitfalls of the “anti-agency” approach and how focusing on a few core tools can transform your business operations. Actionable Takeaways: Audit Your Tools: Review all the systems and tools you're using and cut any that don't directly add value or communicate with each other. Simplify Your Marketing: Focus on 1-2 platforms that truly serve your business rather than spreading yourself thin across all social media. Create a Centralized System: Use a platform like HubSpot to integrate your customer data, marketing, and sales processes. Think Long-Term: Align your systems and strategy with where you want to be in 5 years, not just the immediate future. Avoid Competitor Chasing: Focus on your unique value rather than copying competitors, and find inspiration outside your industry.
