As a business owner, it’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day whirlwind such as emails, client work, marketing, bookkeeping, you name it. Before you know it, another quarter has passed, and you’re wondering where the time went. That’s where quarterly reviews come in.
A consistent quarterly review habit gives you a chance to pause, evaluate, and set your business up for success in the months ahead. At Highline Virtual LLC in Princeton, MN, we help small businesses create systems that make this process simple and effective. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started.
1. Set Aside Time on Your Calendar
Quarterly reviews don’t happen unless you make space for them. Pick a day near the end of each quarter (or at the very start of the next one) and block out a few hours to focus on your review. Treat it like an important client meeting. It’s a meeting with the future of your business!
2. Review Key Metrics and Goals
Look back at the goals you set for the past quarter:
- Revenue and expenses
- Client or customer growth
- Project completions
- Social media or marketing results
Which goals did you meet? Which ones need more attention? This helps you see what’s working and what might need adjusting moving forward.
3. Gather Team and Client Feedback
Your team and clients often see things you don’t. Ask for quick feedback, for example, what’s going well, and what could be improved? Even a simple survey or short conversation can uncover valuable insights to guide the next quarter’s priorities.
4. Identify Systems That Need Tweaking
Are there processes that take too much time or cause confusion? Your quarterly review is the perfect time to streamline. Maybe it’s updating your client onboarding process, revisiting how you track expenses, or scheduling social media posts more efficiently. Small changes can make a big impact.
5. Set Clear Priorities for the Next Quarter
Don’t leave your review without choosing your top 3–5 priorities for the next three months. Make them clear, measurable, and realistic. This ensures you hit the ground running with focus and direction.
