This may not be one of the greatest topics you have every read about, but its going to be interesting, fun and very important for your business.  So bewared everyone Augusts new meaning is going to be about filing.  Why you should do it, what systems to use and which filing system would be good for your businesses.

If you have any questions about filing let me know and I will answer each and everyone.  Remember a good filing system will save you money, save you time and more importantly make you efficient.  How good it that, so August is the month to get your office papers in order.

One more important point to remember, filing is not just about putting a piece of paper in a draw or a file, its also about filing documents on your computer.  Saving space, making your computer run faster.  See how exciting and fun filing can be.

Each and every question very welcome.

 

I am very excited, I have now started on my second book.  It was going to be aimed at business owners but I think the market is more towards the business owners partners or part time office help.  The book is going to be about how to set up a small office and make it run efficiently, effectively and smoothly.  Saving valuable time, money and helping to avoid the mistakes many people seem to make. 

I started last week and decided that I would write 500 words on how to take a proper telephone message.  Would  you believe it, 1396 words later I finished the article.  It’s amazing how much you really know about a topic when you sit down and start to write about it.

Cutting by 1396 words down to 46, here are the major points that you need to be aware of when taking a call:

  1. The date of call
  2. Who took the call
  3. What the Callers name is
  4. What the callers telephone is
  5. Who the call is for
  6. What the message is
  7. Keep and eye on the status of the call/message
  8. Has the call/task been completed?

After spending two days on the Social Media course I have now finished setting up my Fan page in Facebook.  I am also linking in this blog in to Facebook.  It’s amazing what you can do with all of the social media.  Now I have to make sure that there is something interesting posted on my blog and can then get some followers.

I spent the morning at Newbury Wealth Club discussing Joint Ventures and Partnerships.  Its all very interesting  and I am now looking for some very interesting Joint Ventures to organise and some great people to meet.
