129 Ways to Manage your Time?
2010/06/23 6:00 AM
Wow – this has been such a blast to read! I have this discussion with just about every client….and it often comes up on my Ask Sarah calls……and constantly with friends and colleagues. Are we running out of time? Feels like it to all of us at some point I’m sure! As much as I rely on my schedule running like clockwork, we can all get distracted. I have taken a liking to my Google calendar as I can share it with my assistant who feels free (I begged her to order me around) to post things I need to do that I don’t even know about…..Guest blogs I am suppose to write, interviews she schedules, my twins doctor appointments etc… and this awesome reminder pops up and gives me a 10 minute warning!
I am sure you can find some fabulous time saving tips and tricks from my 129 Entreprenette Experts who so generously gave a few moments of their precious time to help you out.

As a former senior military manage and leader time is one of our greatest assest in being successful in any career. What work for me was creating a to do list and sticking to it. Emails and phone calls will consume your time, so check those at the end of the day. Open door policy is great for employees to see you, limit this time to Friday afternoons. Be on time and respect others time is a characteristics of a great leader.

Tom says:These are great ideas, but the title is misldeading, so many people had the same tip. It would have been much more valuable for readers if someone took the time to go through and take out the redundant tips.
Tom,
We decided to keep in some of the redundant ones as we felt those were useful tips that skimmers might miss and catch further down the list. Believe me……we had to pass on about 50 more!
Thanks for your note,

1. They will probably ask for a set of free samples. That is totally normal. You should provide that.![]()
2. They will require that you provide them with catalogs and/or linesheets. And YES, you do need to do that and mail them to their office. They will not print them for you. Ask them to email the linesheets to potential customers when possible of course.![]()
3. They may require you to participate in Trade shows. If this is out of your budget, try to negotiate to attend “some”, instead of all. If you can attend them all, your sales will probably be higher.![]()
4. Some will have showroom fees that are monthly payments on top of commission. Be sure to ask about that before getting too excited. This can be negotiated as well in some instances. If you are hiring a Road Rep, they should only ask for commission on sales.![]()
5. When paying commission, never pay in advance. Only pay for invoices that you have been paid for.![]()

Always follow your instincts. Don’t let people deter you from what you KNOW your customer likes. Be bold and ignore trends if your customer isn’t trendy. You will only sell what they like so stick to what you know works.![]()
