Always be learning, or in this case remembering prior lessons One aspect I enjoy about chatting with SMB Owners is when they disagree with me or challenge how I think about a topic. Sometimes there are concepts that I obviously could use a refresher on 😄 🎥 In this clip, Taylor explains how to think about Pricing as the Highest Economic Leaver #alwaysbelearning #SMBowners #pricingstrategy unconventionalsmb.com https://lnkd.in/gAytyCmS

Seth Godin's blog post struck home: *What you were trained to do, what you did yesterday… that’s a gift from your past, not an obligation. Beginning the analysis with, “what I used to do was…” is a great way to open the door to what you’re going to do tomorrow.* There's a lesson in that. (The rest of the blog post is excellent, and short.) #acquisition #contracting https://lnkd.in/ebXh2i4T

The 30 April and 31 July 2023 Consumer Duty deadlines are fast approaching. This means there is a very short period of time for firms to get ready and hit these milestones. With this in mind, Auxillias has developed a Consumer Duty Toolkit to help lenders and brokers prepare for the implementation of Consumer Duty in their businesses - and to save time and ultimately the costs associated with this.    So far, the toolkit includes 1. A number of high-level templates, example of processes and documentation to help firms define their own key processes under Consumer Duty.  2. Post-implementation assurance reviews immediately following the key implementation deadlines in April and July.  3. Advice on identifying manufacturers, distributors, co-manufacturing relationships.  4. A series of training packages on Consumer Duty for lenders and brokers/retail dealers. 5. Support and guidance on the governance aspects of the consumer duty.
