Hub You - How Many Secretaries Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?
With new features of Netsuite, it is now possible to integrate your DeskTop PC Phone solution with netsuite, contacts, customers, leads and other records. This new change enables companies, including my own, to leverage cheaper calling features of VOIP whilst not having to move away from a customer or contact screen, effectively allowing me to see all my customers 360' information whilst clicking their onscreen phone number to call them directly....These features bridge the divide between having to search for client contacts, pick up the phone and manually dial, now with Netsuite we do not have this issue.The example found at GF

What does it take to get a decent job in Corporate America at the Top of the food chain these days? Recently I met a bright up and coming young man in a city of about 250,000 and he was sitting there outside on the patio at the Starbucks Caf? and working on his laptop until they came to stack up all the tables. He was doing class assignments and we got to talking after that about his studies, ambitions and career goals.It turns out he has a degree in business but wanted to go for another 38 units to get his MBA, but he also figured if he got an MBA with a strong financial background he might like to be a CPA. Interesting I thought, yes
Other secretaries in my department could organize circles around me. They could manage a 55-line telephone with one hand, word-process a memo with the other, and do the filing with their feet. They didn’t freak out when their boss dumped a three-day project on their desk with orders to have it ready in an hour. They knew when everyone’s birthdays were, and they remembered to change the water in the flower vase on their desk.
Not me. My typing looked as if it were done by foot, calls I answered ended up on hold for years, and the filing was perpetually 6 months behind. I freaked out when my boss came within two miles of my desk. I forgot my own birthday, and my flowers were always straining desperately towards other, more nurturing, secretaries.
My real problem was that I was always the victim of the “Pile Syndrome.” If you’re a secretary or if you have any kind of paper-pushing job, you know what I mean.
You’re working on the A project, and you’re trying to be focused, even though your phone keeps ringing and the gal at the desk next to you wants to discuss her nephew’s foot fungus. (By the way, it’s illegal for secretaries to let their phones go to voicemail. Look it up yourself: Bylaw 213, Section 3, Paragraph A.)
Your boss comes up to you and says, “How are you coming along on the B project? I know I asked for it tomorrow but could I have it for my meeting in an hour?”

There are many telecommuting jobs available in the area of telephone customer service. Compared to many positions, they are easier to get, because many of them provide on-the-job-training and require little experience. Most of theses companies offer flexible hours, and usually require between a twelve and forty hour workweek. Some even offer benefits. Other companies consider you an independent business owner or contractor.When considering a telephone customer service job, you should have a separate phone line for business purposes, a headset phone and possibly a high-speed internet connection (depending on the company, some require th

One of the most common issues that comes up for business owners is procrastination -wasting time, putting obstacles in the way of taking action towards goals, making excuses for delays, creating confusion/ ‘busyness’ etc. Procrastination is a self-defeating behavior.As human beings, we are adept at creating convincing language that allows us to rationalize taking specific action or not taking action. We become masterful in presenting a logical sounding viewpoint that successfully defends our position to procrastinate. In this way, we give ourselves permission to step into avoidance, despite the results we say we want!Having a ga

There are a few things that you will want to consistently communicate to every borrower no matter who they are or how much they know about the loan process. Keeping your borrower informed about the things that matter most to them will help build their trust in your ability as a mortgage professional. The more they trust you, the less frustration they’ll experience along the way. Here are a few answers you’ll always want to provide:1. What’s it gonna cost me? Everyone wants to know this whether they’re paying the costs from their savings or rolling them into the loan. Take the time to review the details of the Good Faith Estimate so tha

The phone rings. The man on the other end is having an emergency that for some reason you are the only person on the planet who can solve. This is part of your job too – customer service. In fact, the company devotes a lot of lip service to this priority. So this becomes C project, which has to happen right now. But you’re really trying to whip through the B project so you can get back to the A project, which is what you’re REALLY working on anyway. So there’s no need to put the B or the A projects away. You put the C project right on top.
The day ends while you’re working on the P or the Q project, and you can barely see over the top of the pile. Everyone is upset with you because you didn’t get projects A through N finished.
Time management gurus would have a field day with that one. They INSIST that you must put away whatever you’re not working on, and focus ONLY on what you’re working on. Okay, they’re right. How many of them were secretaries? Let’s take a poll.
In between (and usually during) all of these projects, I was expected to schedule meetings for people who only had enough space on their calendar to inhale once. When I reported to my boss that the first mutually available opening for the people he wanted to meet with was Tuesday of 2009, my boss would say “No, try again and see if you can get it for Monday of next week.”
I was also expected to keep track of how many paper clips the office went through in a month, whom to call when the toilet in the
