    Here are some random, but important tips, tricks, and advice to increase your productivity and business efficiency to become more successful:

    Email subjects: Always include a descriptive subject line. Important emails often get saved. People normally search through old emails by the description in the subject line.

    Voicemail messages: Always leave your name and phone number at the beginning and end of all voicemail messages, especially if you are cold calling. The easiest way to not get a call back is to leave your name and phone number at the end of a five minute voicemail. What if the recipient of your message gets distracted just as you are saying your phone number. Do you think he will sit through the entire five minute message again just to hear you phone number? NO!
