Systematize Your Bookkeeping, Filing and Financial Planning

Organizing the business side of your business is as important as planning your marketing schedule or production schedules. In this post, let’s get it all arranged in a system that you continue to run throughout the year!

DAILY:

-Keep your desk organized! Having entered the box, file box, and project files to keep your main work area is cleaned by the end of each day. I feel so important to my creativity to have the mental and physical “white space”.

-If the tracking time … absent kept up to date every day. It sure is hard to remember what happened at the end of the week!

-Log into your accounting software (QuickBooks) depending on the volume of transactions that you do every day. I assume that you will have an assistant if you have enough transactions that you need to enter sales receipts, invoices, bills, credit card receipts, etc. every day.

-As needed, enter sales receipts and billing information to give to clients and customers for sales made that day.

-As needed, receive product supply ship,, ordering supplies

-If you have a cash register: Daily reconciliation of sales and paid out is highly recommended.

Daily deposits of cash receipts, especially if you have a large number of transactions.

Weekly:

Set aside a few hours once a week to do all the bookkeeping (which is not done every day):

This sequence is the order I suggest for QuickBooks users

-Update timesheets if time tracking

-Pay employees if applicable

-Create and send invoices (some would use the time entered on this Timesheet)

-If you have inventory, receive inventory against the bill

-Enter the bills that come for a week

-Pay bills and send checks

Enter your credit-card receipts

-Receive payment on your receivables

-Enter in QuickBooks and deposits on the deposit slip

-FILE all documents weekly. Do not allow the submission to overtake your office!

Monthly:

-Ensure all deposits, invoices, bills, credit card receipts, and checks are recorded in QuickBooks for the month.

-Reconciliation with the following monthly reports: Checking accounts, savings accounts, PayPal accounts

-Print the following statements: Profit and Loss BY CLASS for the month, Cash Flow, Budget vs. Actual reports, Balance Sheet, Sales by item / customer

-BONUS report: reviewing reports from the time you (if you track your time).

Team Motivation Strategies: Assessment

Whether or not we, as individuals or as a team, which for our purposes is often determined by the level of our motivation. This is what drives us and, scientifically, is known to affect more than just the human race. Some people say that people are born with a motivated mindset, and this may seem true in some cases.

In business you have your team-building day, you have a funny tie Friday, repair your system or whatever you do, but they are just myths, or whether they really work? If performance is declining, or not at an acceptable level, then the staff are not motivated can also be a problem.

Appraisal

Lack of motivation in your staff will lead to: lower the morale, discipline loose and, ultimately, human resources issues that may be impossible to recover. By having a constant assessment of the motivation of the team you’ll see who’s on top of their game and, consequently, who is not. Once this has been identified then you can begin to consider and understand the reasons for this.

Finding an acceptable level of motivation can be tricky. On the one hand, if you’re desperate to try then you can push too hard and your team have the opposite effect. On the other hand, if you do not do this then there is the possibility that the motivation levels could drop to all time low.

When you look your best staff, you should be able to choose what motivates them. They may love their work and motivated by it.

A company is only as good as the staff and they should all be pulling in the right direction, so that your sailboat with the wind. Identifying individuals at the company, and your team that seems to be a peer leader.

Sometimes even, one person can set the attitudes, behaviors and standards of others in his area. Make sure you know what happened and why. Sometimes low morale can be derived from obvious reasons such as: loss of trust of employees, the company’s losses, poor team member from a lack of respect for the manger.

How to Get More From Your Sales Team

How do you get the most out of your sales team?

Interesting question. The answer is actually in the team, sales questions. Most books or articles you’ll read will tell you how to motivate sales people. How to make them more aggressive and hit their goals. This is important, but one person did not make the sales team and the team can always do more than one person.

I found the power of each person. I find what they are doing well, and make them work in the area. I found that some people do not want to change at all. They will continue to do it their way for their benefit. No matter whether the team suffer, provided they get their share. Needless to say, they are no longer on the team.

When they left, I explained to the teams left that one person will not make us successful. Everyone can be replaced, not even me. But we’re creating a team. Together, we can go further than any of us ever has before. But, if you think you know it all and just want to do it your way, then everyone has the right to go. I then told them that we can beat the goal set for us as a team. When we work together, we will win.
