If you believe that 'time is money', then why not get your business some extra currency?Some people say that "time is money", and there is a general consensus in business that the two often go hand in hand.
Many of us think we have mastered the science of
time-management, yet everyone of us at some point wishes there was more time to
do things we should have done or want to do that helps us get on with our work and get the job done..
Whilst most of us believe that we are in control of
and manage our time effectively, it is more likely that we are all servants of
compromise and circumstances. Getting in The Loop could be a step towards seizing control back of your valuable time, and in doing so possibly have a little more influence on how we go about making money.
On any given workday, there are invariably calls we should
have made, meetings we wished we had secured or attended, and people we would
like to have seen or spoken to but didn’t get around to it because time got the
better of us.
Stress levels at work will often be a direct result of
poor time-management issues, sometimes beginning from the moment we set out to even get
to the workplace, having to negotiate peak-time traffic just to get to the
office.
There are even people who by the very nature of their job
find themselves spending more time in-transit, driving to and from meetings and
appointments than they are actually engaged in the income-generating work that
gets them out of bed in the mornings, pays the bills and puts food on the
table.
Meetings usually arranged incorporating the term “mutually convenient”, often means in most cases that at least one party has compromised on the time and location for that meeting. For instance, how many times have you spent more than two or three hours travelling to and then from a business meeting that subsequently lasted no more than an hour or so?
If "time is money", then aren't we giving away more of it than we can afford to?
What if that same meeting could be held online, in The That would free up an additional four to six hours of productivity just in that one day. Suddenly, the currency of time is at a higher exchange rate that it had been previously - and you could be holding much more of it if you were in The Loop.
Meetings,
whether they are sales meetings, board meetings or even staff meetings with colleagues in other
branch offices, training sessions and even initial interviews to establish a proof of identity can all be held
online in The Loop.
Time spent
travelling to locations across town, county, country or even worldwide could be
reduced – all giving you more of that precious and difficult to measure the
value of commodity – TIME.
Of course, before we even get to that exalted stage of arranging a meeting, yet alone attending one, there is also the time-consuming and incredibly frustrating phase of cold calling or getting past the self-appointed or instructed gatekeepers who do their utmost to prevent you from making contact with the person with whom you want to do business. Receptionists, secretaries, PA’s and other subordinates or colleagues of the person you are trying to contact all often appear to be part of a time-sucking plot to make life more difficult.
In The Loop, you connect with the person you
want to see, speak or send a message to instantly, eliminating fuss and waiting
time.
Wouldn’t you like more time to get things done, more
productivity and perhaps the chance to give more of your time to people who
matter?
Make more time for business - and yourself. |
