It’s a lot yeah we know… Today, we are going to talk about the time management issue for entrepreneurs and how they’ve got to do lots of things every day as a part of their daily routine. Business digitization is the answer to all of that!
Let's first introduce what does business digitization means...It means turning all your business from paper to digital, just like everything has changed around us! Nowadays, everything has become paperless, so why not your business too?! There is more than one way to digitize your business, for example, you can digitize it internally, or externally, and in both ways it will help you manage your time in a much better way than before.
Before thinking of digitizing your business,you have to think of digitizing your work and personal life by using technology in managing your time in your daily routine, and believing how it would definitely help! That’s why we recommend 10 apps for you to download on your mobile phone.
Use external tools of communication for your business, for example Slack, you can have a work space on slack.com and start communicating your team members in a more digitized and organized way, and this will definitely help you in reducing the time you take communicating with your team; by communicating while staying at the office.
Build your own management system, if you own a big business/organization we definitely recommend you build your own private system, as it enables you to share files, and communicate without having to go through a sharing hassle and consuming your precious time during working hours... Do it now!
Build a CRM system, it enables you have an updated system that can be used for managing your clients,their meetings,and cut the time of doing that with a pen and paper.
Develop a task management system, a system that will help you cut the time wasted in operation.
Develop a website for your business, as an entrepreneur, you definitely know that the traditional brochures/ phone calls ...etc, is not working for businesses anymore; that’s why you have to develop a website for your business. A website that includes all the services your business provides, any products you sell, your clients, the events you’ve attended. You could also add a “booking appointments” feature on the website, chat with your potential clients… etc. All that doesn’t only make it easier for your clients/ potential clients to reach you, but it also makes it easier for you and help you in managing your and your employees' time by not answering phones all the time, schedule appointments, and so on! Everything would be digitized.
Develop a mobile app for your business, by developing a mobile app for your business you would make it easier for yourself and your employees to talk with clients all the time! Who doesn’t carry a smartphone nowadays? Whenever a client send in a request or ask for an inquiry someone from the company would be able to answer them instantly so this would increase your reputation in the market, and help you in time management by not having to open the laptop and go through that hassle… See? It’s very important.
