Time management is a challenge
One of the most common complaints from my fellow business owners is the lack of enough time in the day to get everything done. We all strive to find that perfect balance between our work life and our home life and often times this can prove to be quite the challenge in today's world. However, there are a number of tools available to help boost productivity and time management in maximizing our efforts in our day to day tasks.
Uncover the best communication channel
Take that all important step into the high tech 21st century and begin to test the waters on e-mail as a primary communication channel for your business. I have built my business on a personal one-on-one relationship with my clients and customers and definitely think it is very important to call or meet with them when business calls for it. I, like most entrepreneurs, am a people person and enjoy talking and meeting with my contacts face to face. However, e-mail has proven to be an invaluable tool in boosting my productivity and has even been my primary means of doing business with some clients. In addition, making e-mail one of the primary means of communicating with me has freed me up to prioritize my day and tasks and helped to maximize my accomplishments on a day to day basis.
Old School vs. New School
For some businesspeople, there just isn't any other way to do business then over the phone or face to face. Don't fight the old dog if he doesn't want to learn a new trick. The good news is, as an e-mail business guru you can catch that ever elusive time factor to meet with those contacts that prefer the more personal route.
I encourage you to try and implement e-mail communication into your business and see the explosion of productivity and efficiency that it can bring.
