The Most Tedious Task?

15 years ago

Hi!

Well... mine is sending quotes to potential customers. Sometimes I spend 2/3 hours per day with that. If they accept it, good!

If not it is waste of time.

Antonio

Thanks

Email is probably the most tedious. I'm currently not in a position where I can outsource that but something you definitely should if you've got the capital. A good VA in the U.S would help tremendously.

Thanks

I am constantly trying to find the right partners for a joint venture.
Most everyday I try and contact fellow marketers with minimul success.
More frustrating than tedius.

Thanks

Ah yes, replying, answering and deleting emails. That definitely can be time consuming. Especially as I answer all emails personally.

I've automated everything that can be automated.

As others have said it's dealing with customers and potential customers emails and phone calls. After the third time you get asked the same question you are mostly cutting and pasting from previous replies but it's still tedious.

Have you tried putting your contact form at the bottom of a FAQ? Might cut down on some of that. I know I try to find FAQs first because I don't like waiting for answers to emails.

Thanks

There's even software to help you with that.

The first iteration came, I think, from Mike Chen -- wherever he may be.
(Shouldn't he be about done with College now ? LOL. So much for Free Agent Path.)

Design...be it websites, logos, banners etc...I always liked doing my own graphics IF I have the inspiration to do it, but I am a bit of a perfectionist and that takes alot of time

I'm with Fernando -- link building campaigns are a pain.

I actually enjoy writing articles though

Well since you said apart from writing articles - that was going to be my answer!!

The other one for me is transferring websites after the sale - I find that very tedious.
