Until one morning, I realized that my way of managing workflow was unsustainable. ​

When we simplify this quote, we can see that workflow is a series of steps toward a common goal. ​

When you have a clear plan, and every member of your team is informed about all processes, it is time for execution. ​

To simplify the process, here are some of the things you can do today for better optimization of your marketing team workflow. ​

To improve workflow, you need to have a detailed view of where your team workflow arrangement is right now. ​

You need to know your limitation, as the starting point from which you can start developing. ​

One of the most essential project management tools features is a project overview, as a high point of view for your team performance overview, including monitoring tasks, activities, and time spent on a specific process. ​

In that case, you have a bird-eye perspective and can see a broader picture, and easily manage some potential stumbling stones. ​

For the Marketing team, creative processes are essential. Creating a copy or a visual, you need to make sure that every aspect is transparent and clear. The best practice is to have all creative requests under a single platform. ​

These six short guidelines will help your team to have a clear and well-organized taskboard. ​

And if needed, you will easily make changes, submit a draft to a client, and create a final version. ​

It is the long run, and you need to invest in getting results. ​

Well planned execution is half of the work done. ​

The next step is improving communication and collaboration of your team, from the outdated email to innovative apps like Slack, and other project management tools. ​

Your productivity will rise, and there will be a minor chance of a misunderstanding within team workflow. ​

Once your plan is ongoing, and everyone is doing their job, the next step is to measure performance done in some period. ​

After you acquire that information, you can intervene on time and shut down unnecessary and time-consuming tasks.  Monitoring the performance gives you a chance to prevent potential ​​issues if there is stagnation in project workflow, a problem in communication, or some other necessities.

Over the last weeks the social distancing measures taken have shut down normal life in much of the US.

News reports point to a sudden surge in layoffs and a collapse in spending, both historic in size and speed, as well as shutdowns of many schools, stores, offices, manufacturing plants, and construction sites. These developments argue for a much sharper drop in GDP in Q1 and Q2. 

We expect declines in services consumption, manufacturing activity, and building investment to lower the level of GDP in April by nearly 10%, a drag that we expect to fade only gradually in later months.

We now forecast quarter-on-quarter annualized growth rates of -6% in Q1, -24% in Q2, +12% in Q3, and +10% in Q4, leaving full-year growth at -3.8% on an annual average basis and -3.1% on a Q4/Q4 basis.

These downgrades to our growth forecasts imply a large upward revision to our unemployment rate forecast. 

Using three approaches—the empirical relationship between GDP and unemployment, the experience of Hurricane Katrina, and a bottom-up analysis of likely job losses by sector and occupation— we estimate a 5.5pp increase in the U3 unemployment rate to a 9% peak in coming quarters.

However, we have more confidence that a large increase will be apparent in the U5 rate—which includes individuals who want a job but aren’t actively looking—than in the standard U3 rate.

Most people create their businesses with the objective of scaling their operations as soon as they have ascertained that their income streams are stable enough. They forget that building their business credit intentionally is equally important. Eventually, you will realize that a business credit rating is as significant as a personal credit rating and that it requires to be impressive at all times. Let us now have a look at what business credit entails.
 


The definition of Business Credit

Business credit is defined as the record of all a business’ or company’s financial responsibilities. Financial institutions such as lenders and investors used it to decide whether to lend your business any money or to get into any business deal with you. Several agencies are responsible for the calculation of business credit scores. They all utilize different methods, but they will in most cases have a ranking that goes from zero to 100. Essentially, a higher score indicates that you bear a lower risk. Most financial institutions and investors will only look into your needs if your credit score is 80, or anything above that.
 
How is Business Credit Calculated?

As already stated, different businesses use different approaches to calculate business credit scores. The formulas used, however, take into consideration some unique factors that you should know about so that you stay prepared by ensuring that they are all looking good. Experian, which is a very reputable credit bureau, usually considers the following elements:
 


1. The number of years your business has been in operation.

2. The number of credit lines you have open.

3. The payment history of your business.

4. The number of times your business has borrowed.

5. The size of your business.

6. The amount of debt that your business has.
 


Credit bureaus such as Equifax usually assign your business three different scores ( The Motley Fool). They include:

- The payment index score- Equifax collects data from lenders, your trade records and all public records to assess the payment history of your business for the past year. This score ranges from 0 to 100. You should know that late payments contribute to a lower score.

- The credit risk score- This credit bureau usually looks into your business’ credit limits, the size of your company, as well as your credit history to determine the likelihood that the business will fall seriously behind in the making of payments. This score usually ranges from 100 to 992.

- The Business Failure score- Equifax also looks into the likelihood that your business will fail within the next year. In order to determine this score, this credit bureau usually considers the number of years that your oldest financial account has been in existence, the entire history of your late payments, as well as the amount of credit that is available to you that you use. This score ranges from 1000 to 1880.
 
Why is your business credit score important?

An impressive business credit score will contribute to the growth of your business in many ways. As we highlighted earlier on, most financial institutions and investment groups will mainly look at these scores before approving your loan request or even accepting any form of partnership.

As your business begins to grow, the credit score will be used to determine whether you deserve an extra line of credit. Insurance firms will also rely on this figure to calculate the premiums that you should pay.

The clear indication here is the business credit score can either make or break your company. You should, therefore, strive to protect it by working with experts who look at all aspects of your finances to ensure that you are a viable partner and can get your loans approved. You can also achieve this by separating your personal credit from business credit, more so if you own a small business.
 


How can you build your credit score?

If you are getting started with your business and would want to ensure that sail smoothly as far as business credit and its benefits are concerned, then it is a good idea to work with a credit agency or crediful.com  in order to set things right from the word go.

You can have a free business credit report sent to you instantly. If you happen to have a bad business credit score, then you can access a Credit Repair guide, right before fixing the factors that contribute to the score.

- Always pay your creditors on time.

It is often the case in the early days of a start-up people will use their own personal credit lines to build their business. This is disastrous.
