Working Smarter – Pt. 3 Complete Tasks in Bulk

9 January 2011 By LA Leave a Comment

In continuing with the Working Smarter, Not Harder series, remember that having more people to manage doesn’t have to mean working more hours. In order to survive being the leader of a large organization you need to eliminate, mitigate and delegate duties that are not the best use of your valuable time.

We all have non-income producing tasks as part of our business. An income producing task would be activities such as facilitating a home party or attending a vendor event – some action where you are directly earning money. Then there are all the other tasks that are required but don’t directly earn you any income at the time of completion. These are tasks such as assembling hostess packets, updating your bookkeeping records, bagging and tagging orders, etc.

Generally the non-income producing tasks are somewhat mundane and not nearly as fun; yet they still must be done. For example, when someone requests a catalog do you go to your shelf, grab an already assembled info packet, address it and pop it in the mail – bada bing, bada boom? Or, do you grab a catalog, then stamp or label it with your contact info, possibly add a business opportunity sticker to the front, add a recruiting DVD or brochure, add your business card and a sample, grab an envelope, stamp your return address, address it to the prospect and then affix a postage stamp?

Working Smarter – Pt. 2 Automate the Answers

2 January 2011 By LA Leave a Comment

In continuing with the Working Smarter, Not Harder series, remember that having more people to manage doesn’t have to mean working more hours. In order to survive being the leader of a large organization you need to eliminate, mitigate and delegate duties that are not the best use of your valuable time.

This blog started as a way for me to answer questions before they were asked. While I appreciate the kudos for providing a wealth of information, it’s really here to save me time in answering individual questions on a routine basis.

For example, one FAQ I get is from potential recruits who want to work their direct sales business using Internet Marketing (yet frequently these same people have zero IM knowledge and want me to teach them everything I’ve learned over the decade). It didn’t take me long to figure out I was eating up a large chunk of my time responding to this same question. Thus the post: My Online Direct Sales Business was developed to answer these questions.

Another question that can be time consuming to respond to is How do you make samples? Voila – the answer is right here. [Read more…] about Working Smarter – Pt. 2 Automate the Answers

Work Smarter, Not Harder – Pt. 1 Ink Stamps

1 January 2011 By LA Leave a Comment

The more your team grows the smarter you need to be with your time management skills.   You will have more people to manage but that doesn’t have to mean that you’ll be working more hours.   In order to survive being the leader of a large organization you need to eliminate, mitigate and delegate duties that are not the best use of your valuable time.

One of my favorite time savers are Vista Print Free Self Inking Stamps. I have a nice collection of them and am constantly adding more. Just to name a few, I have:

  • Some that have just one scent name on them. I stamp the back of my business cards annotating the name of the particular scent sample that is attached.
  • One that I stamp the back of my catalogs – contains my website address and a reminder of secure online ordering, no minimums, low and free shipping.
  • One that I use mainly for recruiting on the Getting Started brochures – with the web address of my recruiting website, my email and phone number.
