This is a productivity-driven, bottom-line environment Efficiency, effectiveness, productivity gains, lowering expenses and increasing ROI are words we hear more and more of these days.

Decreasing the downtime of revenue producing employees is a major concern. Yet Sales and Marketing magazine claimed less than half of today’s sales force has ever sold during this type of economic market.

Many of us have the tools to help us become and remain productive.

Cell phones, smart phones, beepers and computers are all standard issue. All at an additional investment. But technology is simply an accelerator… or a detractor.

Understanding and applying time management factors is what helps propel staff into improving their performance. These include:

Systems Systems provide the big picture or the strategy for improving performance and productivity. It’s about managing yourself and the time you have available, not the tasks.

Processes Processes help you manage tasks. Once systems are set up, developing and applying processes is what helps achieve the desired results. If employees have systems, they can apply a process in any environment.

Behavior Yes…it’s very much about the behavior. Because what you consistently do is what you consistently get, so changing behavior is key. Moving habits we develop early on from an ineffective to an effective state isn’t easy. It’s a mindset. Affected by feelings and what we value. Getting clear on those issues is critical.

I share this formula with clients to help them remember how to focus on improving their personal productivity.

S2P2M2…set-up the systems, practice processes, and manage and maintain behaviors.

Are you using a similar equation for success?
