Excellent
Fabulous
Wow! This exactly how my days and weeks and week-ends and holidays look like! Working all the time and never feeling free, never taking the time to get that energy back! I have to pass this on to everybody in my company: they are all doing the same error!!!
Nick, another great video ... THANKS!
Great - all makes perfect sense just need to put it into practice.
will help get employees better time mngt skills
I have come to the conclusion that my business is running me instead of me running the business. I hope this plan will help me plan. Big question-
Love the see-saw table and plan on creating my own "Stops" and "starts"!
VERY GOOD VIDEO, I THINK IT WILL HELP IF YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS OUTLINED IN IT.
Some excellent info and ideas - Cheers
Great at confirming what one knows to be the right thing to do, but for some reason don't - time to change!
I always thought that your mails were spam and tried it for the first time. thanks for the good advice
refocus efforts for new sales
Excellent way to start the New Year!
Going to pass to sales team to help re-focus.
Thank you
Always good ideas
Useful stuff, thanks
Thanks for helping me refocus for the new year!
Good tips like to try this
Need to tip the see-saw to gain more/starts in my daily, weekly, monthly routines
Excellent - Will help on not spinning my wheels
good motivation tool to focus on what matters.
Very good and on target!
very great and informative.
thank you
Thank you for your help in growing sales
Some good suggestions here. Will definitely use some of the ideas.
Very interesting. Reiterates what everyone should really be doing and as you say does not have time to do so. Your videos do concentrate the mind and focus
I don't need to beat myself up for poor time management. I can focus on priorities and get results that make a difference without working 60 hours a week.
I have learned to review my professional and personal engagements. Now i feel i can perform my duties more fruitfully then before, which eventually should have better impact on my personal life
Difficult in these straightened times - lack of staff means we spend our time IN the business. Must at least try to follow these ideas.
good tips for the new year
boy do you have me peg,i need to stop checking my e-mail all the time and taking my business home with me all the time and not really getting any thing done with it.
Thanks Nick,this has helped me to refocus on New Business & less busyness
Back to the basics!
To make my priorities more clear.
Implement immediately
NB: 1st video I have seen
Nick as always very sound advice thank you.
great for New Year
It is so true - multitasking makes you less productive.
Concise and easy to follow.
good ideas to focus whats important
The video reminded me to keep the big picture in mind. Also to set uninterrupted time for learning and planning.
It's amazing that this dilemma impacts this particular industry so much that a print sales coach could find common ground with his viewers. I'm intrigued. I don't see a solution here, but am willing to give this a try to find one.
Excellent, writing goals down is so importent
Great info to help me stay focused.
Nick, Thanks for sharing this information. This topic is becoming a major area in my life that I'm trying to change. I look forward to using your tool to help me start working smarter and better, not harder and longer.
Helpful!
Looks like a good tool. I look forward to using it.
good common sense practical advice.
Video Comment I am excited about finally having some help from Nick in focusing on the right customers, the right actions, and the right advertising. I am having a meeting with my salesman tomorrow where we will figure out a sales campaign, focused on these things Nick has taught through these videos. Thanks, Nick!
Great - I need to take time out to review and focus on the big goals!!!
Yes, yes, yes!!!
wonderful
brilliant keep up the good work , thanks , these are things that most of us bussiness people would think of or would like to do, but fail to action things , so thanks for the reminders
Will try to stop checking e-mails continuously in order to be more focused.
Sounds exactly like my life, hopefully this will help improve it.
Gets me focussed, well done
A very useful way of helping me to focus
Thanks nick
I learnt a new plan
and
will now review my sales strategy
thanks
jonathan
business commence sense wins again
excellent
Very informative and food for thought
Video Comment
Very interesting, giving me focus and great ideas. I am going to plan my days/weeks more effectively from now on.
Definitely a great refocus for the New Year, should really help get more time selling
Very good to get me focused and plan.
Good Video, need to listen to each week to get off to a better start. Plan my day before it starts.
Great advice! I must turn off the phone, focus on customers, stop spreading myself thin, and take time to better plan; days, month, and years.
Video Comment Good ideas--proof is in the pudding!
Informative and useful.
Excellent, time to take more control!!!
I learned that I need to quit trying to multitask so much. Focus on the most important impactful activities. Of course I already knew this but appreciate the reminder!
very good and helpfull
fantastic
It sounded like my work day that you were describing. Really emphasizes the need for time to think and plan.
very usful , thanks alot
I will cut one minute meeting and do more focus on the job
I liked the tool of identifying influences that cause the drift effect in daily work - I will look at these and see how I can manage these better & reduce their influence
I'm a big multi-tasker, but after watching your video i've come to realise that i'm probably doing alot of things 'well', but could be doing everything 'very well' if I focused on one thing at a time and FINISHED the task at hand.
excellent
focus on results and not activity
Until I saw this I thaught I was pritty good at time management. I now know that I am almost hopeless !
I will be more effective from now on.
Great - all makes perfect sense just need to put it into practice
Nick,
Thanks so much for this information. I found it to be very helpful.
will attempt to use chart to maximize time management
good common sense,reminds me of what we all probably know,but keep forgetting,keeps the train on the tracks
Very informative
Good thoughts!
wonderful ideas, having a system will help organize time.
Video Comment Good tips and reminder on the need to focus on what's working and what's holding me back!
I like how its short & to the point
Hi Nick , thank you for this blog. I very much liked the supporting slides to the tape.
I learnt to focus more. The
" how many games of chess "
is a great visual way to
remember this.
I am certainly going to use :-
stop,minimise,maintain,more,
and start as a way to more effective in my use of time.
Thanks again, this is the first time I have listened to your blog. It has been a great help.
Excellent Video, Nick uses great common sense. I am going to try some of his suggestions.
I like the shorter presentations.
I will review the 5 steps with everyone at Color Pages and review everyone's progress 2 weeks later. Thanks.
good reinforcement and disciplined approach to focusing on what is important and will generate sales and help to achieve 2011 sales goals
Thanks, Nick... this has helped me to re-focus on what is important,.. i will be sharing this with my staff.. cheers
Don't normally watch this type of email (think I don't have the time) but I am intensely aware that things need to change in my and my staff's work patterns. Having watched the video it seem I am not alone in working harder and longer for less and less reward - a busy fool is how I think of myself at the moment. Their are 'consultants' out there wanting to charge thousands for the same advice you have just given. It seems to me we all know what to do... the secret is in how to change what we actually do on a daily basis. I will be trying your approach and passing this on to key personnel in my company. Thank you.
I learned to stop checking email constantly and to turn off my mobile phone. I'll use the Focus 5 Tool!
This puts everything in perspective. A great tool and easy to put into action.
Thank you for helping refocus. I will heed your advice.
Excellent presentation. Mostly learned on how to focus on the five. You have described me perfectly.
Can't change the time we have but can change what we do with the time we have. I will use the time I have for the more important things.
Structure and selecting is the thing I have taken most from the video.
Excellent...applicable across all lines of sales!
I have no commeny at this point.Video Comment
Loved it. I don't do sales calls, but the general idea can help with my goals.
Thanks
now to do it!
Will pass on to the sales team, excellent work.
Learned a quick and easy way to better manage my time.
Action: Begin this process immeadiately on a weekly basis. Thanks!
This is excellent! Perfect timing for me! It's so easy to let bad habits take control! I confess... I spend wa-a-y to much time with emails! Thank you, Nick... I can't wait to share this with friends & colleagues.
Drifting is big problem
Very good and instructive.
Thank you for your offer and assistance in sales!!!
The point made about health and feeling good about yourself to create confidence is the first thing I will act on. Secondly I realise that I have lost face to face contact with my main customers, leaving all communication to my sales team.
interesting video not only on time management but how to plan to be smarter in accomplishing sales goals
Excellent work Nik
To focus more on a fewer projects and I will be showing this to our sales staff
no image
A serious call to action with the emphasis on action!
common sense stuff that we all know we should be doing, but need a good reminder like this video!
excellent
Great to have these basic ideas laid out in such a simple, understandable & useable way.
Great Infomation. Will get my sales team right on it!
Main thing is to stop the work crossing over into my downtime. Also to alocate set times for email checking and meetings.
This came a an opportune time; New Year, new start, with some helpful ideas. Thanks.
I learned/realized that I am constantly multitasking and thus frequently distracted. I am going to minimize the multitasking. And I am going to try the 5 step? chart to help!
simple and truth.
Good Info i will definately use these to improve productivity & profitable results.
I just need to apply it!!!
perfect discription to what is going on every day in our business
Very true
Thanks, I am changing my workshedule.
The Drift Effect affects us all. Need to setup a way to deal with it.
excelent series of videos
This is excellent material. Keep these videos coming... I get a lot from them
The video told me whst I already new but in a different way. It gave structure to the problems we all face each day and showed me a way to solve that proble and increase sales time.
Video Comment
Interesting
Excellent.
Basic principles but ones which are easy to lose sight of when you are being pulled from pillar to post
focus on sales !
Excellent, its what we've already learnt but forgot in the fog of business!
Time management has always been my biggest problem. As a one-man show, it all falls to me. I will try to focus more on the priorities.
learned/confirmed the need to make a plan/sales strategy. it's worth "stopping" to "start" that process.
like it....all makes sense and I will ensure that my team and I embrace your ideas!
Excelent. Its very practical
Thank you Nick,
Our sales team will be achieving positive results from your video, many thanks
working 'on' NOT 'in' is the key and this strategy helps.
thanks Nick
Very good and useful at these days
Well done!
Excellent. Its really all about doing the basics right.
The video was very precise and to the point. it gave me great insight into selling and how to plan manage my time
I am not able to watch. I prefer to read text because of some personal problems
very good
Excellent! Great video showing how not to confuse daily activities from results. This is great for me and my team.
Thank u very much for ur mail and I enjoyed to watch the Video
Nick,
Great video, can you please give me an email direct?
Best regards
k
Well I have just noticed that I have plenty of weed to get rid of. Many thanks
Another good one
Nick, thanks for the good advices regarding the focus and prioritizing things
Great thinking. Am sure this will be of help to me.
I know most of this stuff and still don't do it!
Have you done a video on why people don't do what they know they should be doing? Still a great video, thanks Nick.
Great video
Great Insight into maximising time dedicated to sales via time management
Excellent i will show this to my salespeople!
Good refressher about focus.
Need to spend more time with key customers and create customer strategy
Great Time Management Tool.
I will start using TODAY!!!!
I am going to "stop" review my actions and start planning daily, weekly, monthly etc. to achieve my goals - and determine what my goals actually are!
best 14 minutes i've spent this week. Will be putting this into practice today
Thanks, Nick. This makes sound sense. My plan now is to get all of the admin / e.mails / minor clients' enquiries, out of the way between 7.00am and 9.30 am every morning - and also between 12.30 and 1.30; then between 9.30 - 12.30 and 1.30 - 3.00 to only give attention to my Platinum and Gold Clients and my Major Prospects. But Tuesdays and Fridays I'll finish at 1.00pm and go and play tennis. I'll tell my Team tomorrow about my new daily plan and ask them to help me to achieve it
I bother with things that are not important.
I'll use the tool and DO things.
Learn to review what has happened in the last working week, good or bad and spend some time to review what to do differently in the coming week to achieve the goals to give the biggest results.
Great, will pass on to our team. Thanks.
Hi Nick, I saw you at Leeds on Thursday & have spent the morning typing up the pages of notes I scrawled during the event. I found it really useful. Thanks. Again this is a simple tool, but is all about the Focus & Confidence, which I personally need to find at the moment. I am going to fill this in & stick it in front of me by my computer to remember to stick to it. Oh & I'm turning off my Pinger!!! Thanks Jo
Well Done Jo. Keep up the focus.
Excellent framework. Will implement this immediately
Leant a very quick method of time management. I will set aside time to implement this...
good advice
excellent time management tool
