Closing sales, completing projects, lining up new business, working with suppliers and collecting payments are just some of the many things you may have on your plate as summer comes to an end. Keep your to-do list under control and get more done with proper planning.
Focus & Prioritize
Summer is typically a busy time of year, but busy isn’t necessarily the same as productive. Rather than focusing on completing all of the items on your to-do list, put the bulk of your effort toward the most important and time-sensitive tasks.
Get Help
If you don’t have enough time in your day, buy extra hours with added help. Find a part time assistant or seasonal help to ensure you can focus on what you do best – whether that’s selling, marketing, or completing jobs.
Automate
Technology is getting smarter all the time. Take advantage of it by setting up automated responses for common requests and times when you can’t immediately answer incoming calls and emails. This can buy you some time with impatient customers so that you can focus on the task at hand and investigate what your customer needs from you.
Get Organized
Don’t waste time trying to figure out what you should be doing or what you have already done. Keep your projects, appointments and tasks organized. Get organized with digital calendars, project management software, and CRMs that can keep you and your team on the same page.
Optimize Opportunities
How long does it take you to complete a project estimate? Traveling to a job site, meeting with customers and working out the numbers for labor, materials and profit takes up valuable time. Close more sales by including a low monthly payment option when you go over the project estimate with your customer.
