By Oliver Bennet

Small teams often carry processes in people’s heads. That works until someone is sick, busy, new, or leaving. AI can turn rough notes into clean standard operating procedures, which makes training and delegation much easier.

12 SOPs to document first

  • New lead intake
  • Sales follow-up
  • Customer onboarding
  • Appointment scheduling
  • Proposal creation
  • Invoice sending
  • Customer support reply
  • Refund or cancellation handling
  • Review requests
  • Weekly reporting
  • Content publishing
  • Password and access handoff

SOP template

Act as an operations manager.
Turn these notes into an SOP:
[notes]
Include: purpose, owner, tools, steps, quality checklist, common mistakes, and escalation rules.
Write it for a new team member.

What a good SOP includes

  • Clear owner
  • Trigger for the process
  • Step-by-step actions
  • Quality check
  • What to do when something is missing
  • Last review date

My practical rule

Do not write a 20-page manual for a 10-minute task. The best SOP is short enough to use during real work and clear enough that a new person can complete the task without guessing.

FAQ

Should SOPs be perfect before sharing? No. Publish a simple version, use it for one week, then improve it based on the mistakes people make.
