In 2015, some of Britain’s top business people and journalists were invited to join a panel of experts in discussing the challenges that small businesses faced on a daily basis. Interestingly, the conversation did not commence by highlighting large-scale industry challenges; rather, the discussion persisted on the daily frustrations corporations were experiencing, especially in terms of administration, project management and productivity.
In talking about business, typical corporates and companies come to mind. We tend to forget about other basic services as business entities, such as the much-needed services rendered by health care professionals. A doctor, dentist and physical therapist are good examples of non-corporate businesses with a unique and significant place in the business world.
When you ask almost any of the highly productive individuals on earth – be they entrepreneur, director, CEO, manager, professional – what the one thing is on which they wish they could spend less time during their workday, they will answer unanimously: e-mail!
E-mail is a tedious but very important part of our work performance and very few businesses can function without it. If you dread spending time on e-mail, it really only leaves you with 2 options: learn to love it, or get someone else to do it.
An assistant effectively utilised in this way can be a super, secret weapon making you doubly as effective, because while she is getting the e-mails done, you are finishing something else. With proper training your clients/colleagues won’t even know it wasn’t you who replied.
This is how to empower your assistant to take over all your e-mails:
