As entrepreneurs take over the business world, we see a trend of more and more people living the entrepreneurs’ life.Running a business is no small feat, especially when dealing with sales and managing a sales team.

However, many entrepreneurs are starting to look for solutions that enable a more holistic approach thus achieving a work-life balance. Here are a few pointers on how you can travel while also keeping a track of your sales, sales team and their CRM.

Plan ahead:

Make sure you know what it is you are going to do. Planning is key to making sure you are prepared for any eventualities while away from your desk. Let those in your team know where you will be or you can keep a single point of contact from your office who will be able to reach you at all times should the need arise. You’ll need to identify times of the day when you feel you are at peak performance and productivity.

Working with a great team:

It pays to hire the right people for the right job. When you have a reliable team working with you, delegation and troubleshooting become a lot easier. Having a great team to work with is essential to hold the business together when its leaders have stepped away momentarily. It is essential to train them accordingly as well. Hiring the right individuals allows you to focus on your business rather than being overwhelmed with everyday issues in the business.

Technology

It is essential that stay connected with your team, having all your tools at hand: laptop, mobile phone, chargers and other basic tools of the trade. You will also need to make sure you are are always reachable. When working with sales and the sales pipeline, it is important to utilize an efficient CRM app or software.

Don’t forget to have fun
