As a sales professional, a lot can come your way. You hop from meeting to meeting, switch from call to call and quickly type the quote for a new customer. At least, as soon as your colleagues give you a moment of rest and you can resist the temptation to sit back with a cup of coffee. Do you want to get through your busy days as productively as possible? Then make some time to download these apps first!
A productive working day depends on an overview. Once you have listed all your tasks for the day, you can complete them one by one and create space and peace in your head. This is where Todoist comes to your rescue.
With this handy task manager you can quickly create clear to-do lists. Set deadlines, easily organize and prioritize all your tasks and share the workload with your colleagues. This way you not only get more done in a shorter time, but you often also deliver better quality. It is not without reason that the Todoist app awards 'karma points' as soon as you successfully complete your tasks!
