What's it like to work with people who are on a mission to make other people’s lives easier?
On this page we'll tell you the kind of results our clients have reported. We'll also give you a sense of our guiding beliefs, our approach to working together and how we're different from most consultants and coaches in our field.
Expected Results
When you work with us, expect to see desirable and sustainable changes in your own and your team’s performance and productivity. Team members will be more focused, relaxed and results will come with a lot less hassle and effort.
You’ll no longer feel overwhelmed by huge volumes of daily inputs. You will develop an information and action management system that suits your unique way of thinking and working. It therefore serves you - rather than the other way around! You will save between 20 and 90 minutes per day – much more than the time it takes you to “work your system”. As a result you will enjoy a more balanced life and have more time for other more important things.
Your desk, your office and your mind will be free of clutter. Although this is not the prime focus of our work, your office gets “cleaned up” as a result of your new way of thinking about your work and how to best organise your information to get things done. You won’t believe how many of our clients report that they feel “lighter” after working with us.
Your information and action reminders will be well defined, planned and organised. No more “juggling a lot of balls at the same time”.
Expect reduced negative stress. Why? Because you’ll learn to be more in control, focused and relaxed. Transforming stress into positive working energy is a result of gaining clarity about the issues you are currently dealing with. Besides being more productive and focused, many of our clients actually report that they sleep better after implementing our systematic approach!
Use our proven system of driving your e-mail Inbox and paper “IN” tray to “empty” every single day. By clarifying each item up front, you will be clear about what it is and whether it is actionable. No more "I’ll do this later" thinking. We ensure that you always stay on top of your game because you’ll remain in a state of "operational readiness” all the time.
Have ALL your critical information at hand 24/7. This may not be for you, but our clients who synchronise their desktop information management tool (e.g. Microsoft Outlook) with their PDA/smart phone (e.g. Palm, iPAQ, iMate) smile from ear to ear. It gives them confidence, knowing they can respond to any opportunity or request without having to refer back to the office.
You will become better at keeping your commitments. It becomes a breeze to track delegated tasks. You acquire the power to close up those “communication cracks” and prevent important actions from slipping beyond their due dates.
MS Outlook (or your preferred software) becomes a powerful ally in assisting you to get things done. You’ll get your money’s worth by implementing tips and tricks as you begin to use Outlook in the way it was truly designed to be used!
Our Beliefs And Values
When you work with us, you can expect that the nature our relationship to be guided by the following values:
Above all, we are flexible. Different clients need different things. Although we have a variety of service modules that address a wide variety of needs, we approach each assignment with the same attitude: We design the most appropriate solution to produce sustainable results for you and your support team.
Quick response is guaranteed. Nothing is more frustrating than working with consultants who will not answer their phone calls or return your emails. We don't just try to be responsive, we guarantee your calls or emails will be returned within one business day
We want to have fun working with you. Someone gave us a nice definition of fun once: “You are having fun when you are enjoying both the process and the outcome”. If you’re someone who enjoys this kind of approach, we’re probably meant to work together.
Why We Remain Unique
Gerrit Cloete (founder and owner of Productivity Pit Stop) shares his take on why we stand out from the rest:
I don’t deal in theory. I don’t deal in hype. I just bring you hands-on approaches that have been proven to work.
I have had the privilege of coaching and facilitating workshops in a wide variety of industries since 1991. All of this experience sits in my head and I bring it with me when we work together. Knowledge and experience is abundant and I share abundantly.
I have developed a small but highly effective domestic and international network of coaching and training professionals. These people continue to contribute to my knowledge and understanding of my field of expertise, and I enjoy passing on these new insights to my clients.
I am on a continuous journey… I enjoy reading and researching the internet to find new ways to help me get things done easier. And when I find it, I love sharing these new insights. So you can be assured of continuous renewal of my material and approaches.
