Evernote is your friend!

August 15, 2013 — theeverydaycontroller

I’ve been an EVERNOTE user for sometime.  An I.T. consultant introduced me to it and I’ve never looked back.  If you haven’t tried it, try the free version at http://www.evernote.com.

It’s a great way to keep all the bits and pieces of your day in one place.  You can create all kinds of notebooks……notebooks for projects, staff, to do lists, etc.    Then just add notes, clip websites, scan images, insert pictures and lots more.  Think of Pinterest for business (and it’s much more).

I participated in a 45 minute webinar today to strengthen my EVERNOTE skills.  However, once you create an account, I promise that you will be up and running in a matter of minutes.

How easy is that?  Are you an EVERNOTE user?

When there is no sense of Urgency

August 14, 2013 — theeverydaycontroller

Recently, a new Regional Sales Manager confided in me that she is amazed at the lack of urgency employees seem to have.  Her previous job was with a highly energetic sales organization that understood response time needs to be in minutes, not days.  Is your company and its’ employees responsive to its stakeholders.  Do e-mails from customers go unanswered.  Are employee concerns ignored?  As a controller, is your sense of urgency lacking?  And, what are the causes?  Procrastination can often be a reason.  Lack of skills or organizational abilities.  What about training?  Are your employees trained in the importance of timely responses to inquiries and, do they know what is necessary to frame a response that will satisfy the needs of the recipient?

As a controller, you should be highly sensitive to your work environment. It is so easy to get buried under the daily demands of your job and lose sight of what is going on around you.

What do you think?
