National Leave the Office Early Day

“You can’t do a good job if a job is all you do.” Katie Thomas.

Americans work about 49 hours a week, which is 350 more hours a year than most Europeans. Leave the Office Earlier Day is an incentive for employees to complete tasks before schedule, making a conscious effort to increase their efficiency and productivity so they can go home sooner.

Basically, the perspective of leaving the workplace earlier acts like a carrot for the hare inside all of us, compelling employees to perform his or her tasks to his or her maximum potential, reducing levels of idleness amongst workers. So, if you haven’t already, ask your boss’ permission to leave as soon as you’ve finished all of your tasks for the day.

In the 2022 R2 version of Acumatica Cloud ERP, you are able to get field level help by “hovering” your mouse arrow over the field you’d like more information on. You will see an Infotip and you will be able to click on More and a Help window will pop up with information on the field. If, instead of clicking More, you click on the gear icon, you will be brought to your User Profile so that you can configure how the InfoTip works.

Leadership 101 | 10 Reasons Why Sales = Leadership

By Mark Hunter

1. Salespeople need to inspire and motivate others
Successful salespeople need to be able to inspire and motivate people to make good buying decisions.

2. Salespeople need to set an example
As leaders, salespeople must lead by example and demonstrate integrity in everything they do.

Leaders need to make difficult decisions quickly, especially in sales where opportunities can be lost if action isn’t taken promptly.

4. Salespeople need to communicate effectively
Salespeople need to be able to communicate clearly and persuasively to close deals, but they also need to communicate with their internal support team effectively to set expectations, provide feedback, and give direction.

5. Salespeople need to build trust
Trust is essential in sales, and it is equally important for leaders. Salespeople who are leaders build trust by being transparent, honest, and authentic.
