Hi, I’m your host, Amanda Holmes, CEO of Chet Homes International. What you’re about to learn has assisted a quarter of a million businesses to generate billions of dollars working faster, better, smarter.

Amanda: Now, I keep seeing all these. In the news, talking about what you need to do when the recession hits, right? This is what you need to do. Or we’ll panic. Wouldn’t it be so great if what we have to do is [00:01:00] just get smarter with every move we’re making?

I’ll give you an example. Email management is a critical thing, right? We spend a ton of time in our days going through email my father’s best practices on email are you should instill in your day one. Allotment of time or to max where you spend time being reactive. And that reactive time is when you’re answering emails, you’re answering text messages, you’re answering Slack messages, you’re answering any of the bing bang notifications that come to you in every different manner.

However, What he realized is when he started training all of his executive team, they’d answer his emails. As soon as he’d send an email, they’d reply back immediately, and he knew you are not being proactive about your time. So we would have to perpetuate over and over again, train his team.

You’re going to respond to my emails either once a day [00:02:00] or twice a day. Why? Because you’re being proactive about the rest of your day and just reactive in certain periods of time. I can remember he trained his team on how to write subject lines. So let’s say you write a subject line about one thing.

I just recently had this where it was an, it was a subject line about some random report, and then inside of it was, Huge problem that was being faced in the company, but the subject line you would’ve never known. So that is a huge faux pa in Che Home’s ultimate sales machine world, right? What you have in that email should be in the subject line, and when that email changes the subject of what it’s talking about, the, if the subject line stays the.

It’ll take you, it could take you an equivalent of a week’s vacation a year just to find that freaking email where that person said that thing. Especially now that we have Slack too. We have whatever messenger [00:03:00] chats you use, Facebook portal Messenger, wherever those messages are, right. We’re perpetually trying to find those messages.

So when it comes to email, you have to make sure that the subject line identifies what is written in the. And then when the email subject changes, then the subject line of the email changes along with it. Now, I can recall my father were just perpetually, like nearly every day, was sending people emails where it said the subject of this email has changed.

Please change subject line. He said that 10 to 15 times a day in different email formats. I saw it perpetually over and over and over again, and he just had to uphold this excellence of his team and it took time. and it took practice. So it’s not something that overnight you will then become superior at your operational excellence, right at your time management.

If you [00:04:00] wanna do something that’s really going to get you an r o I this year. Get better about your time and get your whole team to be on the same page about how they’re getting stronger with every moment they spend. How are they working to optimize it at the top?
