Lori,

Thanks for the blog post. What I have found in my career is that I end up teaching (really preaching) the benefits of using the tools provided.

Before I start any sales training class I ask the sales representatives to bring in their prospect list for the day. When I review it with them I start asking very pointed questions... Who else is involved, time frame, budget, etc?

It amazes me that sales reps think they can work in this profession without USING the tools. If you want to know why there is so much turnover in sales then look at how the sales reps are using the sales tools available.

Businesses have to train, and then re-train their sales reps just to keep them moving in the right direction.

Lori, I agree completely. One of my biggest irritations is people who don't reply to emails. It takes about 5 seconds to type, "Checking... (on your request) Will respond by Friday."

Don't forget to use the Flags feature in your email client. But you must remember to review those flags on a daily basis. I do it each morning.

Also, I practice "Inbox zero." My philosophy is that my inbox is a runway, not a parking lot. By the end of the day, emails are filed in folders or deleted.

Finally, I've set up rules so that newsletters go straight into folders, not my inbox. They're less of a distraction then. This rule frees me up to focus on more important tasks--like reply to emails.

Regards,

Plan Now for Effective Performance Evaluations
It would be ideal if every company had a good health programme it certainly gets you ready for the day. I like to train for an hour before I go to work it sets the day up for me, just right! I often see colleagues that come to work feeling groggy and are ill frequently. This makes me wonder why bosses don't invest in a healthy living programme it certainly builds healthy working relationships in the workplace.

Wellness Programs: The Carrot or the Stick?
The Workers' Compensation Program processes claims and monitors the payment of benefits to injured private-sector employees in the District of Columbia. The office mediates disputes between claimants and employers (or their insurance carriers), and monitors employers to ensure compliance with insurance coverage requirements. Small-business owners are plagued by rising workers' compensation costs and don't expect any relief from state reform efforts, according to a Nation's Business readers' poll. Since the mid-1980s, costs have been driven up mainly by litigation and new types of compensable injuries. Visit http://www.claimshelpline.com/ for more information.
