Quickly sharing information is key to increasing productivity in your business. The sooner your team sees a task, the faster it can get done. When you or your team are on the road, waiting for information to change hands can really put a damper on your productivity.
You need to keep your sales reps and other team members up-to-date about tasks, meetings, clients, etc., and this can be a hard enough challenge in the office. But this doesn’t just mean in the office when they are sitting across from you because your team is mobile. If you’re waiting for them to come back into the office to get the latest information you’re slowing your business down and puts its on poor footing.
See the different ways having a system that keeps your data centralized and works wherever you are like Daylite can help you be more productive and your team be more effective.
Rolling with the Punches
A lot happens in a day. Client’s cancel meetings, new tasks are added and delegated, a customer signs off on an opportunity . Any change should be clearly communicated as quickly as possible. Communication is hard enough for most businesses but when you have employees working on the go the challenge is much greater.
So how do you communicate in your business? Email? Text? When you use Daylite you all the important stuff is centralized in your database and as long as everyone is syncing, they will be notified.
Now when your assistant updates your schedule because an inspector called saying they are running late and won’t be able to make it today, you can go the extra mile and extend the open house hours instead of rushing out the door to another location and find no one there. When an happens emergency and the boss shifts priorities in your task list, you can get notifications of tasks being updated. When your sales team closes the deal while you’re traveling you can reach out and congratulate them right away instead of waiting hours to find out the big deal is done.
Work Doesn’t Have to Stop For Life
The kids are sick, there is a new puppy at home or the weather has made the daily commute into a hazard.
