However, you need to make sure your 'sales momentum' doesn't suffer while your team takes that well-earned break.Call in the cavalryA quick look at the staff holiday chart will tell you if any key absences are going to affect the 'critical path diagram' for your forthcoming sales & marketing projects. so you can reassign priorities to minimise the impact on timescales. However, there's only so much that careful planning can achieve. If the holiday season is going to leave you short of resources, maybe it's time to get some extra help.External expertise equals efficiency Day-to-day tasks - that you would normally cover in-house - could be candidates for a little external assistance. Simple print jobs or the preparation of bound sales tenders could be covered by a print supplier. In addition, sales materials that your marketing team would normally prepare - including PowerPoint presentations - could be generated externally. and getting an external designer's expert eye on the job could help to make your presentations more engaging.All ready for autumnOf course, getting through summer in one piece isn't enough. Autumn heralds the conference, exhibition and seminar season - and you'll also need to have your post-summer marketing campaigns ready to roll out. so there's a lot to prepare for. Careful use of external design and marketing expertise could help you to avoid any last-minute rushes. and the stress that undoes all that good relaxation from your summer holiday.The Prontaprint design, print and e-communications team is here to help you cope with summer stress: . emergency print support . presentation design . sales & marketing campaign design, print and e-communications . conference displays and support materials Holiday chart 2011
