Looking back and thinking forward. With resolutions, mood boards and SMART goals a plenty, the wiff of a new year is in the air. But before we pop bottles, start chanting “3.. 2… 1…” and proudly conclude ‘new year, new me!’, there are lessons from the “old year, old you” not to forget, but on which we should rather reflect. The definition of insanity The is a reason that the

Because the best deserve a break. Sho! Is there anything greater, than this time of year? A time of joy and festive cheer. A time when the weather is great, A time when we use any excuse to celebrate. Before we launch into a new genre of thought leadership poetry, enough with the rhyme.

Great question. We’d love to tell you. If there is one thing, this time of year, that we truly need “mo’” of… it’s motivation. With leave days loading and the blue skies calling us to ditch our desks, how does one motivate yourself, not to mention your team? Well, here is the thing about motivation, it’s layered. It is not as simple as incentivising with targets, or planning more pizza parties. Through unpacking the principles of Primed to Perform and Total Motivation

Sometimes it’s as simple as that. We live in a culture that’s all about more. More hard work, more hours, more sales, more emails, more meetings. More, more, more. What if, just for a moment we gave “less” a try. More hard work The journey of overdoing “more” is paved by buzz words and zeitgeisty business trends. We hear things like “high performance

Finance and Sales: they’re often seen as the odd couple of every business. Finance says, “Be careful!” while Sales hears, “Sell faster!” And then there’s the endless back-and-forth—forgotten invoices, capturing data manually, paperwork that gets lost somewhere between sales reps’ car seats and the finance office. Spreadsheets and powerpoint reports pile up, sales invoices get delayed, and then the finger-pointing begins. It’s a bit like a sitcom… but no one’s laughing.

Anyone who says sales people are gifted at admin has never worked in sales. So why is sales so admin-heavy? Think about the call reports, sales forecasting, the in-field orders, and constant monthly reports. Enter mobile CRM for sales reps and managers — literally the only tool you’ll need. And, it’s changing the game for B2B companies. We get it. It sounds ludicrous. One mobile CRM app and desktop solution that ticks all the boxes. But we have built Skynamo to do just that, because we come from sales. So, we’re going to talk about mobile CRM for sales teams from all angles.

Business owners, sales managers, and reps – it’s time to stretch beyond your comfort zone! Just like exercise queen Jane Fonda taught us the value of a good stretch, adopting new sales software might feel like a challenge. But it’s exactly what you need to build a better, stronger, and more flexible sales team. In today’s fast-paced market, staying competitive means more than physical fitness; it’s about being tech-fit, too. That’s where Skynamo, the

Picture this: It’s the 80s, hair is big, pen and paper for managing sales is bigger. Fast forward to today and whilst we should be leaving the pen and paper (and maybe the hair) in the past, there are some “fondamentals” we can still apply to managing sales today.

For that reason, we build differently There is something special about Heritage Month. You can hear the braais sizzling, the eish clinking, and the hadedas hadeda-ing. These are the sounds that call us to come together. As the whole country physically and metaphorically seems to thaw from the winter season, we celebrate and

In a world where you can be anything, be South African. How fitting that as we approach Heritage Month, we continue to celebrate South African success. From outstanding Olympic feats to the rugby fields, to fighting rings – there’s never been a better time to celebrate our heritage. One thing about everything synonymous with being South African, is that the pull of patriotism toward our people often provides relief from the pain of our politics.
