Managing Remote Staff with Envisage

April 7, 2020 MetaPulse Team
remote office-2.png

Is your team working from home?

How do you know if the job is still getting done?

How can you see their production?

It’s easy with envisage. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Give everyone on your team at least one statistic that tracks their results - e.g. number of tasks completed, phone calls made, emails answered.

  2. Get everyone to enter their statistic daily, at the end of the working day or first thing the next day.

The benefits:

  1. As the manager or owner, you’ll be able to see how your team is doing.

  2. Everyone will still feel part of a productive team getting things done.

  3. You’ll be able to spot lagging statistics early and help that person or area get their production into the desired range.

We have clients with over 800 staff who have shifted to remote work and because they use envisage, they are able to operate just like they were in the office. Why not give it a try?

And remember envisage includes Statistics, Org Chart and OKRs and you can try for free on a no-risk 14-day trial. We’ll even help you set up all your existing statistics to make sure you succeed in getting your business onto Envisage.

Still using spreadsheets to track your stats? Save time with MetaPulse.

January 30, 2020 MetaPulse Team

Clients never cease to be amazed at the amount of time they can save when taking advantage of the features in MetaPulse age. 

Here’s some common scenarios we’ve come across: (And if any of these apply to you, we can save you a lot of time.)

  1. It takes you more than 1 hour per week to work out the stats and enter them into your existing system.

  2. You add stats daily to a spreadsheet and then tally them for your weekly or monthly stats.

  3. You manually add up different stats using a calculator.

  4. Your stats are spread across several different spreadsheets.

  5. You track the stats by paper and spend hours entering them into a system.

  6. You have to constantly chase your team to report their stats to you.

If you’re suffering from any of the above, we can help streamline your stats reporting process. We’ve helped many clients save countless hours collating a myriad of numbers.

Entering statistics should be a simple and easy task. More time should be spent on analyzing and implementing solutions to improve those statistics.

Need help? Reach out via support  or just reply to this email and we’ll help you get set up. 

Remember you can try MetaPulse for free on a no-risk 14-day trial—it includes stats, org chart and objectives. We’ll even help you set up all your existing statistics to make sure you succeed in getting your business onto MetaPulse.

When Average is better - An Introduction to the Status Statistic

July 22, 2019 MetaPulse Team
show average weekly monthly quaterly.png

Many businesses track statistics such as sales, income and leads. These are cumulative statistics where weekly values add up to monthly values. For example, 10 sales a week totals 40 per month (and with our new split values feature, you can be certain that envisage is reporting an accurately adjusted monthly value).

But what about a statistic like Bank Balance? This is not the type of statistic you want to “add up” when changing the frequency from days or weeks to months.

The problem of time solved - Great Scott!

July 12, 2019 MetaPulse Team
time problem.png

Time is a problem. You think there are 365 days in a year?

Nope, there’s 365.2422. This is a rather inconvenient number so it’s rounded up to 365.25 and we have a leap year every 4 years to account for that annoying extra quarter day each year.

No big deal? But consider this … A vital element of monitoring statistics in your business accuracy and precision.

You want to ensure that if you earned $9,876 in a week, that this is the precise, exact amount, it doesn't get rounded up or down. It's exact and precise.

Unfortunately statistics are measured against time and time is not very precise.

But what if you wanted an accurate MONTHLY value at the same time as having an accurate WEEKLY value? Well, we've solve it!

Save Paper - Use Share Links

July 4, 2019 MetaPulse Team

Go Paperless

Save time, money and the environment

If you’re endeavoring to create a “paperless office environment” then this article is for you.

Envisage makes it easy to share your graphs, without having to print.

This is especially useful for those with staff who work remotely, or for managers and owners who travel.

During our weekly meeting at exec.io we have people spread around the global, in Perth, Western Australia; Sydney on the east coast of Australia; and yours truly in Florida, USA.

So printing graphs for our team meeting is pointless.

Instead we use the share link. Here’s how we do it.

How to Grow A Billion Dollar Business

May 31, 2019 MetaPulse Team
samuel-zeller-358865-unsplash.jpg

Let me give you some backstory. This event took place in late 1999, in Google’s office, before Google was the tech giant it is today.

And to clarify what I mean by “tech giant” let’s look at actual numbers. 

Google has an annual revenue of over $142 billion with a company valuation of $776 billion.

How did Google go from zero, to a $776 billion company in twenty years? 

Three letters: OKR and in started in 1999.

Client Question - How to Graph Monthly Income Weekly

May 23, 2019 MetaPulse Team

Weekly or Monthly?

That is the question!

This week we received this question via our Ask Us Anything

I have a client who does PPC marketing. He has all his clients pro-rated to the same day for his monthly service fee deducted from their card. It makes it difficult to graph Gross Income weekly other than monthly, without a crazy spike one week a month. Any suggestions?

KISS: Up = Good, Down = Bad

April 16, 2019 MetaPulse Team

Up is Good


Down is Bad

My version of the KISS principle is Keep It Super Simple.

I’ve written books on many complex subjects such as taxes, money management, investing and marketing. I often get feedback on how easy my books are to read. I go to great lengths to keep things simple.

The opposite of a KISS is a KICK - Keeping It Complicated Knowingly. I much prefer a KISS to a KICK.💋
