Struggling with broken systems, team confusion, or SOPs no one follows? 

In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, operations strategist Gwen Bortner shares how to fix your business systems, improve delegation, and finally build scalable operations - especially if you’re a creative or visionary entrepreneur who hates rigid structure.

Gwen brings insights from 40+ industries and decades of experience helping women create sustainable success without burnout. 

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not a systems person,” but you still know you need them - this is for you.

You’ll discover: 

✔️ Why most SOPs are written for people you wouldn’t hire (and how to fix that)
✔️ How to know if it’s a system issue or a people issue
✔️ The surprisingly simple thing your team needs that almost no one includes in an SOP
✔️ The trick to delegating without becoming a micro-managing stress monster
✔️ The personality mismatch that might be sabotaging your operations (hint: it's not your fault)
