Effective Budget Mapping: A Strategy

Budget is a microeconomic concept that is employed by all organizations and businesses, be it large or small. No operation in an organization can proceed without a well-structured financial plan that details thoroughly on revenues and expenditures that achieve objectives. A budget also provides a comprehensive outline of the resources that will be used and purchased to finish a task. If designed properly and with minute details being taken care of, it is a company’s map to track the finances of any stage of operations and ensures that objectives are achieved as planned. An organization is closely aligned to its work as long as the budget is well in place.

Mapping a budget allows to keep an estimate and tracking finances using the budget gives liberty to expand the budget wherever needed and alter it. Wherever budget provides liberty, initiatives can be undertaken such as hiring new workers, investing in a new market or improving advertisement strategy. Not only this, but it is a structured budget that helps business owners decide about raise in salaries, bonuses, insurance plans for workers etc. The adjustments in new sales, overhead costs of operations and tax bills are all planned out as per a budget detailing an estimate of current expenditures as well as those of future. The importance of mapping a budget can perhaps be explained best by small business owners who operate their businesses on a tight budget and even a slight fluctuation in budgets can lead to huge disruptions and loss.

After having detailed on importance and benefits of having a budget, how to map a budget has to be discussed. To ensure an effective budget is put in place, it is best to hire an accountant or a person who excels at handling finances with accurate details. Such an individual will not only plan an effective budget but also track the finances at every stage along with producing concise reports so relevant people can change business strategy or future objectives keeping those in mind.

What cannot be denied is the role of technology in making the mapping of budget easier to structure. With details of every instant and expenditure, manual budget making is often an uphill task. But technology with its software makes it feasible to compartmentalize different aspects of budgets, such salaries, resources purchased and other divisions. This makes the budget easier to read, understand and analyze. Computerized budget aids in spotting the factors affecting the budget or causing fluctuations in it which in turn leads to making improvements instantly.

However, technology itself or one individual alone cannot be the driving force behind budget mapping. All the individuals in the organization who are a part of the on-going operations should be a part of the budget planning committee. Moreover, the budget should essentially reflect the key strategies an organization employs. The budget mapping committee should regularly track the budget to identify areas of weaknesses and strengths and build upon them to yield improved results. The committee must alter the budget as per the needs in case of a situation that requires an instant change.

Email Marketing – A Guide for Newbie’s

Email marketing is essentially a digital marketing strategy where an organization sends email to customers and prospects. If done right, it can get organization loyal and consistent customers. It is one of the things that many organizations do not get right. It’s easy and has nothing technical but there are so many things to keep in mind to not it fail.

The significance of Email Marketing:

Email marketing is one of the key aspects of successful campaigns. In today’s tech-oriented world, it is one of the things that cannot be neglected. Despite the growing social media in today’s time, email is still a top prioritized communication channel. It is one of the platforms that nobody likes to be spammed (BEWARE! No unsolicited spamming) and hence is free of chaos, unlike social media platforms. Online sales have many advantages and bring much more loyal customers than real life sales. It is one of the safest and efficient methods for running campaigns.

Primary Goal of Email Marketing:

While the idea of jumping right onto it seems appealing, it’s wrong. You have to first set a goal, think about it, work on it and then decide what your emails will be about. You cannot and must not include any and every random detail in email because people tend to get bored with subscription email and can unsubscribe anytime. Your emails must serve a single purpose. Take a look at emails of some notable websites to get a hang of the idea.

Build a Contact List:

It’s time to build an email list and decide the audience at which your campaigns have to be targeted. For example, it’s useless to send a teenager emails about new business opportunities. Either you create a list using your known contacts or construct a new list from scratch. Building a new list means you have to offer customers an incentive. People don’t subscribe to something new unless there’s a great offer.  Discounts, giveaways, updates of sales are a few of the exciting incentives that can get people to sign up for email subscriptions. Other options include a pop-up option of subscription on the website to get people’s attention. By following these key aspects, offering incentives for subscribers, you can easily build an email list with a new yet interested audience that can soon become your loyal customers.

Select and Create Your First Campaign:

Campaigns can be of various natures. Your options include a monthly newsletter, an invitation to attend an event, updates about new things available and sales, an announcement of a new feature etc. You have to select a campaign that suits your organization and decide accordingly. When it comes to structuring your campaigns, there are a few things that need to be taken care of. Firstly, the emails should not be long. It has to be sort of an advertisement that Is short and easy to read. Secondly, it should be of interest to your entire audience. Lastly, make sure your emails are easy to access and convert. With these done right, you can eventually get better results. Make sure you measure your results.

You’re good to go!

Are Project Managers Born Leaders?

While it may be assumed that when you accept the role of project manager, you also indirectly accept the role of a leader; that is not the case. Essentially, leadership and project management are two different aspects to look at. A successful project manager may not translate to being an exceptional leader. To be precise, project managers are to control the three major factors (namely scope, budget and time) that influence the quality of service delivered. Project managers implement new tools and techniques to deliver impeccable results. Successful project management can be achieved by having adequate knowledge of project framework and being aware of newer methodologies.

However, in the ever-evolving world of business, every organization needs their project managers to develop exemplary leadership skills. In today’s time, project management calls for individuals who can offer a wide range of expertise and capabilities. Therefore, it is no longer feasible for a project manager to just manage. Project managers must also act as leaders, i.e. motivate and inspire, be team builders, develop communication with every member and lastly maintain integrity coupled with being a confident problem solver. If the question in the topic of the blog is altered, i.e. can project managers become leaders? The answer will be a definite yes.

Effective communication is a great start to being a project leader. You must know your team members and convey to them about what and how it needs to be done. As long as the leader is not articulate enough and cannot get a point across, the team fails to achieve a satisfying outcome. The key to reach a level of excellent communication is having the ability to deliver feedback that is both positive and constructive and also be a patient listener towards members’ suggestions and input.

To ensure a productive work environment, a project leader must possess enthusiasm towards a project. Project management is not just about knowing your goal, it also about managing your team members because that is a leader’s primary job. In times when failure seems inevitable or there is a huge burden to handle, it is the project manager’s attitude that changes inevitable failure into an astonishing success. The project manager must have a positive approach towards work and be a source of motivation for the team. His words should be encouraging so as to maintain productivity and not let the team members give up.

Team building might seem easy but it surely is not. It is a task that requires immense patience and impartiality from the project manager’s side. When a team works together, issues and conflicts are inevitable. However, a project manager must deal with the conflicts from an early stage and not let it grow. His job is to maintain a friendly work environment and keep the team focused on a common goal eradicating any selfish motive. Team building also consists of being aware of each team member’s personality and treating each one of them equally and in a manner to achieve the desired results.
