Help for Forgetful Sellers

I have too much to do. That's the reality of my world. I suspect you're having the same problem.

When I launched the Sales Shebang this fall, life got even crazier. I had more details to remember than was humanly possible - literally. Post-It notes were layered on top of my computer screen. My To Do lists had babies. I couldn't keep track of everything.

But finally, help has arrived! Last week on the Sales Team Tools blog, I came across an article called, "Why Our New Admin Will Never Get a Raise."

They've been using Sandy, so I decided to give her a try too! I'm liking her!

When I'm busy working at my desk and a random thought comes to me such as: "I need to follow up with the printer on Monday", I quickly jot Sandy a note about it.

Sure enough, bright and early Monday morning, she sends me an email to remind me. She even keeps a list for me of all the To Do's that I've sent to ensure I keep organized.

My next step is to send Sandy a note to make sure I remember my kid's birthdays. They just hate it when I forget!    ;-)

I will definitely be annoyed if you forget my birthday. Especially since it's the day after Christmas and I'm coming home from Germany for it.

Better send that note to Sandy right away! :-b

Jill,

Jan from SalesTeamTools here.

Glad to see Sandy proves her value for you as well. When you log in on her site, there's a list of commands available you can send her. It's an amazing little sales tool.

Best,

Jan

This a great idea! Imagine your very own assistant who reminds you with all the important appointments and whatnot! I'm guessing even assistants will be glad to have an assistant of their own as well. Whoever thought of this is a real genius. It's not only for work though. I'm particularly forgetful with birthdays so this will do wonders for me, too! Thanks for introducing Sandy!
