People and time management with S3 CRM

When you are a business owner it can sometimes be difficult to know what each one of your employees is doing at any one time and often this can result in poor time and people management. Good time management is essential in any business as it leads to increased productivity and increased profits. There is nothing worse than allowing time to be wasted through things such as organising work each day or checking on the progress of projects and other tasks.

S3 CRM offers business owners a way in which they can not only check on the progress of projects and other outstanding tasks but see, at a glance what each one of their employees is doing each day. This is useful as it means an end to chasing round to find employees that have free time to spend on new projects or diverting extra employees to projects that are approaching their deadlines. Using S3 CRM’s business wide calendar allows you to quickly see who is in work each day and who is absent due to holidays or illness. Previously a task like this could have taken a good portion of the morning, which is a massive waste of time, time that could be spent doing something that is much more productive.

S3 CRM not only lets you take control of your business from one central point, it also helps you to spot employees that are not being utilised correctly and rectify the situation. People management is just as important as time management, get it wrong and hundreds of working hours will be lost each year and these can never be recovered. S3 CRM can help you with people and time management by -

• Diverting excess employees from certain projects and placing them on others which need a boost to move them forward in a more timely manner. This will result in an increased number of projects being completed so that more can be taken on which will create an increase in profits.
• Deadlines will never be missed ever again - by being able to see quickly and easily which projects have approaching deadlines these projects can be checked to ensure that they are on time to be completed. Similarly any projects that are approaching their deadline but have not been progressed as far as they should have been can receive the extra attention that they need. By never missing a deadline your customers will be more loyal towards you and your as you gain a reputation for delivering what you promise. Ensuring customer loyalty is crucial in business as once it is lost you have lost a customer forever and nothing can get them back.
• Time will never be wasted again - wasted time is a no-no for any business owner as no-one wants to be paying their employees for hours that have not been used productively. Obviously there will be times in business when time is wasted due to one thing or another, but with S3 CRM this wasted time can be drastically reduced so that only the minimum of time slips through your fingers. A lost hour can never be retrieved, so make sure that the majority of business hours are filled with productive and proactive activities.
• S3 CRM allows business owners to maximise their employees, as these are one of the biggest assets that a business has. Without good employees who spend their time productively a business would fail in no time and profits would nose dive. By ensuring that each and every one of your employees time is spent on projects or tasks that need their attention you are helping to build a great foundation on which your business can grow and develop into something to be proud of.
• With the route optimizer tool that is one of the many features of S3 CRM you can also plan out journeys in advance to make sure that any time spent travelling, by reps example, is accounted for. Time is often wasted when it is unclear how long a journey will take and once again this leads to hours lost, with S3 CRM you can easily work how long a new journey will take and make revisions in reps diaries which will account for this. Obviously if traveling is part of the working week it cannot be ignored, but it can be planned better which will improve time management.
