Gulf Coast Events Wraps Up 2015, Ready for the New Year
Houston, TX, November 27, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “Effective business leaders understand why goal-setting is critical to their ventures,” said Alex, the president at Gulf Coast Events. “Detailed, measurable, and realistic objectives keep people focused and motivated. Of course, they also give people direction, ensuring forward progress.”
Alex elaborated, indicating, “If you don’t have goals in place, you’re at risk of low productivity. If you aren’t constantly producing and innovating, your business will diminish. The world of business advances far too quickly to do anything but excel.”
"We started by revisiting our business plan and making necessary updates,"

In addition to setting clear and realistic objectives, company leaders must also be ready and willing to act. “No matter how extensively you and your team discuss goals, they’ll be meaningless if you fail to do anything about them,” Alex stated. “Having a strategy in place makes action a lot easier. Here at Gulf Coast Events, our approach is to set our long-term goals, and then work backward to identify the short-term milestones we’ll need to meet. It’s a matter of breaking big accomplishments into smaller, more manageable efforts. This method also helps us anticipate the obstacles we may encounter, as well as which resources we may need.”
Gulf Coast Events’ Team Finalizes Plans for a Successful 2016
According to Alex, waiting until January 1 to set goals for the next 12 months would automatically set the sales and marketing firm behind. That’s why the Gulf Coast Events team has already been hard at work preparing for the New Year. She explained that there were a number of ways she and her colleagues developed their strategy.
“We started by revisiting our business plan and making necessary updates,” Alex continued. “It was a great way for us to stay connected with our core values as well, because we had to confirm that every part of our plans are aligned with them.”
The company’s president also noted that she and the other leaders considered their hiring and tech needs for 2016. The firm is constantly poised for growth, so they typically initiate several hiring pushes per year – in addition to their reputed internship program. In terms of technology, they make sure their software is fully updated and replace older hardware.
“Finally, we made plans for professional development,” Alex concluded. “We pinpointed the conferences and training seminars we’d like to attend, discussed our team members’ personal and professional goals, and identified ways we can help our people advance. This includes the possibility of promotions. It was a lot to think about, but it feels great to be so well prepared to make next year our best one yet.”
