Hard-nosed self-improvement books that preach goals, time management and positive attitudes are invaluable. No cold calling, no website or marketing, no business cards or networking events. Work gets whatever space is left in our calendars. Their prescription? Try it; this will change your world.

If you don’t make a sale right away, you calendar them for the next follow-up and do the same thing again. Business cards and scraps of paper lying on your desk do not constitute a contact management system. Pretty straightforward, isn’t it? So why is follow-up such a problem? Disorganization.

Put birthdays on your calendar and send cards to your clients – your kindness will be remembered, and so will you when the opportunity comes up for a client to refer somebody to your company. A good way to keep track of client birthdays and send out cards automatically is to use an online service like SendOutCards.com.

Assistants can also recommend all of the apps to their manager. This app is slightly expensive but worth paying for if your manager travels a lot. There are dozens of free travel guide apps and I do think it is worthwhile adding them to your manager’s device while they are abroad. FlightTrack: £2.99 for Pro version.

You can also attach a file from Word, Excel or PowerPoint or a business card from your Contacts if it is someone you need to remember to call and want that information available. The Reminders box is the same box where your calendar items pop up when they are due, so should be familiar to everyone. Minute taking made easier.

Take everything else off your desk except for those materials and write the list on piece of paper or your calendar so it’s the first thing you see when arriving for work.
