Organization for the Account Rep - The Success

This is it! The last and final post of our Organization for the Account Rep Series! Talk about exciting. We took a frazzled, stressed out, anxiety riddled woman and transformed her into The Goddess of All Account Reps!

Let's take a look at some of the key elements that made this system work.  

  1. We removed the stress and anxiety BEFORE we started.  A clear mind is ESSENTIAL when you are creating something new.  
  2. Total brain dump and bitchfest.  Before you know WHAT the problem is, you need to unload all of the crap.  
  3. Identified duplicate tasks and delegated where possible. 
  4. We figured out what tools were needed to make it possible to actually DO the job required.
  5. Created a realistic schedule and communicated that schedule to those who "needed to know".  
  6. We had the support of the entire team and made them aware of the "method behind the madness".
  7. I also reiterated that when things get crazy and hectic, it is ok to take some time for yourself to rejuvenate.  You are useless if you burn out so take an afternoon for yourself or an hour for a pedicure.  Seriously, it's OK!
Now we used this system for an Account Rep, but the basics can be used for ANY position, for any situation, and for anyone.  Take the bull by the horns and make yourself THE BEST!

Happy Organizing!
