Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Job Description of a Consultant:

 

·         Follow-up client (once computer print-out have been sent.) to give “dates” for conducting interviews & names of candidates to be called

·         Prepare interview-schedules & release to client & to “Interview-Panel Expert”

·         Get ready Interview-Call letters & ensure timely dispatch to candidates.

·         Phone-up candidates & obtain their confirmation / alternate dates requested. Communicate “Status” to client every 2nd/3rd day (or even daily) as to who/how many are attending

 

·         Wherever necessary, ensure dispatch of “Registration-Forms” along with CALL-LETTERS

 

·         As soon as interview-call letters are dispatched, send-out to client plastic folder containing

-          Xerox copies of biodatas along with Interview Evaluation sheets.

 

·         Follow-up with client (if required by periodic visits)

Re: FEED-BACK on

-          How many/who attended

-          Who was passed (selected) / rejected / kept on HOLD

-          Who is to be called for FINAL INTERVIEW (if any) & when. To follow-up and organise such final interviews.

-          Ensure that client issues Appointment Letters to candidates “passed” in the final interview. Follow-up and get copies of appointment letters – alternately sit across client and fill-up “Compensation-Format” for calculation our Professional-Fees.

 

·         Wherever client is unable to select/appoint anyone in the final interview, sit with him and decide next course of action

eg.

-          Call some more candidates

-          Readvertise

-          Search our Database       etc.

 

·         Your job is not over till,

-          Relevant INVOICES are issued

-          Payment cheques are collected

·         Feedback to Candidates re= “outcome” of the interviews

 

Today, this is a “weak” area. We give feedback only if (and when) Concerned candidate phone us. This is not correct.

 

We owe to each candidate feedback on whether he got rejected/shortlisted for final interview / short-listed for salary-negotiations. For this feedback, we should call him up on our own. If he does not have a phone, we should send him a STANDARD (but nice & polite) letter (never a post-card !)

 

 

 

CLIENT – RESPONSE

 

·         There are many cases where we have already received “Advance (i.e. Minimum Search Fees)” but have not acted-upon the Client’s PURCHASE ORDER, by

-          Searching our Database

-          Short-listing suitable candidates

-          Sending first the “Short-list” and then individual, detailed bio-datas to the client for his scrutiny.

We take action only when client starts phoning ! This is creating poor image.

So first thing to do is to prepare a

 

COMPREHENSIVE ORDER-BACKLOG LIST

(in chronological order of the dates)

 

Split this into

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Which could be converted to ADVANCE, if we had Time to attend to these (although intuitively we know that we have in our databank, very Suitable Candidates)

LOST POTENTIAL!

LOST BUSINESS!!

 

 

Either because,

·           We want to start a relationship with an important client (eg. Hinduja/Finolex/Kirloskar etc.)

 

             OR

·         We are not sure of being able to find Suitable Candidate & create poor impression)

 

Obviously this is Top PRIORITY & action must be started at once, otherwise these ”orders” will get cancelled!

 
                                                                                                                                                                                       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                     

Our priority for action is obviously, First (A), then (B) & lastly (C).

 

You should sit-down with Nirmit, devise a proper format and with his help (his memory) start filling-up each these lists, starting with List (A). The format could have following columns:

-          Client Name / Contact Person / Phone No.

-          Position / Vacancy

-          “Advance” Details (cheque No./date/amount)

-          ACTION-TAKEN DETAILS

o   Computer print-out sent-date/ (no. of records)

o   Detailed Biodata sent-date / (no. of biodatas)

o   Interview Arranged – date / no of candidates

o   Remarks

In the software being developed by Mr. Nagle, there are “modules” for

-         

There is a folder for each of these

 
Order Processing

-          Interview Fixing / Follow up.

-          Advance / Invoicing / Accounting.

The formats to be used are shown in these individual folders. All these will ultimately get COMPUTERISED. However, it will help us – and Mr. Nagle – tremendously if we are to immediately introduce a MANUAL SYSTEM (of “record-keeping” in Lists/Statements/Tabulations/ Registers / Formats etc.) and use it for a few months to find-out its SHORTCOMINGS/LACUNAE, so that, when we computerize, we can take care of problems faced during MANUAL OPERATION.

Rewriting computer software again and again is expensive / time-consuming and throws “production” out-of-gear. This could be avoided by trying / testing a MANUAL SYSTEM, although it could mean duplicate/multiple entry of same data in several different FORM/STATEMENTS/REGISTERS. But this will be a very good LEARNING-PROCESS, and will help us do a better job of computerising with very little subsequent changes.

MIS MODULE

                                                                             Mgmt. Info. System

 

Every business must set targets (budgets) and must measure actual performance against those target. The difference between the two (variance) is used as a feedback to the individuals within the System to take corrective action.

Even if it is difficult for the next ½ years to set targets, we should, at least decide upon

-          For which parameters we would one-day like to set the targets.

SO that

                Even now, pending target setting, we already start compiling the “ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENT / PERFORMANCE” figures for those parameters and start plotting these graphically

In a nut-shell,

If we compile and graphically plot last 2/3 years Statistics, we would know the TREND for each item.

   We would also know inter-relationship, if any, between one parameter and the other.

(e.g.)

A. No. of persons appointed is a function of (or directly propositioned to)

a.  Size of databank

b. No of on-line statement sent

c. No. of bio-datas sent

d. No. of prelim-interviews held

e. No. of final interviews help

f.  No. of call-letters sent

g. No. of appli./bio-datas recd.

h. No. of clients

i. No. of pending purchase orders (order backlog)

j. No. of Advt. released

k. No. of client inquiries

                                                                etc. etc.

 

 

Another example

B. SIZE of Databank (Active) is a function of or directly proportional to

1. No of mailers sent out

2. No. of “Birth-Day” greetings sent

3. No. of unabridged Annual Reports collected

4. No. of Advt. released

5. No. of Alumni Asso. Linked-up

6. No. of Companies enrolled in 3P CLUB

7. No. of Databases tapped

                                                      e.g.  - Diners Club Members

                                                                - Membership Directories of Professional bodies

8. No. of “associates” established in Various towns

·         OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENCES (OOP)

We are supposes to

Oop from our clients by

Appropriate monthly invoice

 

This arrangement is cart of our TERMS

 

Main OOP are

A.      Courier charges (call letters/interview letters)

B.      STD/ISD phone charges (very frequents)

C.      Outstation travels (occasionally)

Outstation travel are only undertaken by Nirmit – so whose (which client) behalf & how much did he spend. He can fill-in a simple form, attaching supporting vouchers.

 

I believe “Courier Charges” are being compiled reasonably well. Pl- check. Can this record be computerised  ? Discuss with Sajida.

 

Biggest chunk is STD charges for which TELESOFT Software has been installed for over 6 months now. There were some “hitches”, Are these sorted out? Is software still “clumsy” ? what happens if operator forget to enter a few STD calls daily? Do we have a fool-proof method? If not stream-lined, this is one area where we could lose lakhs of rupees annually!

When we get MTNL’s STD bill at the end of each month, & discover “unaccounted” STD calls, it is too late to remember & reconcile!!

In each individuals case upper/max limit must be specified and a/c must not be replenished without first clearing old earlier withdrawals by submission in proper vouchers/bills.

·         Electricity Bills/Water Bills/Phone Bills/Society Bills etc.

 

These must be paid before the due date to appropriate authorities & wherever possible recipient’s signature be obtained on the counterfoil. For each of these payments a running-record (month-wise) must be maintained on computer, so we know at a glance, when exactly each month’s payment was made along with bill no./bill amt/cheque no. etc.

DAILY

OUTSTANDING FOLLOW-UP

·         One, very important daily activity shall be the follow-up of our clients and collection of all outstanding payments. This has to be done/carried-out vigorously (but quite politely although persuasively).

As soon as

o   An invoice is released

o   A payment cheque is received it should get posted on computer & the software must instantaneously “rework/recast” the

 

CUSTOMER OUTSTANDINGS STATEMENT

 

In

 

o   Chronological order and

o   Descending order of Amount wise

This statement (auto generates) should have following details:

-          Customer Name / Ph/Fax/Email

-          Contact Person Name / Desig/Ph.No.

-          Assignment / Customer order No. & date

-          Position filled / Person appointed

-          Invoice No./date/Amount (less Adv & Not payable

-          Date due / No. of days overdue

-          Details of past promises made etc.

If a particular client owes us amounts against several assignments (several invoices), the Software should be capable of auto-generating client-wise outstanding statements (in descending order of value) which, accounts officer, should send out attaching a STANDARD covering-letter by

-          Email

-          Snail mail (print-outs).

Depending upon the last time/date on which such a previous statement was sent to a given customer, the Account officer, will decide when to send-out the next statement.

Software must keep track of

-          All past statements sent to a client (date-wise)

-          All phone-calls made (date-wise) & “promised” date.

On the “promised” date, a screen should automatically POP-UP as a reminder to Accounts officer to follow-up.

Clicking on client Name should connect Acct. officer to client.

MONTHLY

·         Preparation of rolling (next 3 months)

 

Cash Inflow / Cash outflow statements based on

 

“NEXT 3 MONTHS FORECAST” STATEMENT

 

Each consultant must fill-in figures relevant to his/her activity ONLINE (on our intranet).

 

By adding-up each individual Consultants “forecast), a consolidated COMPANY-WIDE statement could be prepared to find-out if our cashflow position would be satisfactory.

 

It would permit us to deploy surplus cash (in instruments such as short-term FD’s etc.) and earn interest.

 

These “forecasts” must not be confused with monthly/quarterly/annual “budgets/targets”.

 

Monthly “Performance Comparisons”  (budget Vs. Actuals & variances) shall be only with respect to BUDGETS & TARGETS & not with respect to these “rolling” forecasts, which are made, strictly for one purpose viz. to figure-out CASH-FLOWS & manage liquidity/payment issues.

 

                                               

 

                                                                                                                                                                M/3

                                                                                                                                                                3/9/2000

(Budget Vs. Actual-Cont.)

 

Such detailed, individual Consultant-wise BUDGETS/TARGETS must be “published” on our Intranet in a transparent manner (for everybody) to see at any-time. This must be done at the beginning of the year as also when each new Consultant joins.

 

Ideally, the appointment letter issued to each Consultant should contain his/her “Performance Targets” and the “Incentive Scheme” applicable to him/her.

 

Monthly “Variance” statements (for the whole Company as well as for each individual consultant) must be posted on corporate intranet for everybody to see. Such transparency boosts employee moral since everyone knows that there in no “adhoc-ism/ favouritism”, and that same “rules” apply uniformly to everyone.

 

With second quarter coming to an end, we must hurry-up with formulation/framing of all budgets/targets” for 3rd & 4th Qtr. And publish the same by 20/9/2000

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                              M/2

MONTHLY ACTIVITIES

 

·         Incentive Payment                          (HR)

We have just introduced on incentive-scheme for our program-manager Chetan Shah. This will call for monthly payment of incentive-amount. This should be studied carefully & implemented. All records (of performance & incentives earned) must be maintained on Computer.

 

·         Budget vs. Actual                             (MIS)

 

At the end of each month, “Budget vs. Actual” statements must be prepared (on Computer) for the following:

Must be “budget” & Compiled for each Consultant individually & for the entire Company totally.

 
 


o   Expenses

o   Invoicing / Billing

o   Outstanding’s

o   Order Booking

o   Order Backlog

Obviously, this (Comparison/Variance statement) would require ANNUAL/ QUARTERLY/ MONTHLY BUDGETS to be prepared at the beginning of each year, in minute details. (with all “assumptions” explicitly stated) These will need to be prepared for each Consultant individually.

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                M/1

MONTHLY ACTIVITIES

 

·         Salary Payments / Retainership Payments

 

From appointment letter/retainership letters, all salary + perks details must be entered into relevant software

 

Details of authorised leave (with pay/without pay) must be entered from the leave-cad on daily basis, so monthly deduction can be computed automatically by the Software. For this purpose salary/retainership payments must linked with “ATTENDANCE” System. Monthly “Salary-Slips” must get automatically printed-out.

 

I suppose “TELLY” has built-in “PAYROLL ACCOUNTING” feature.

 

Timely payment of Salary/retainership is an important monthly routine.

 

All Salary payments must be made by cheques only.

 

If all employees agree to open personal accounts in Saraswat Bank, it should be possible to effect a CONSOLIDATED payment to the bank rather than issuing individual cheques to employees. This should be seriously explored & implemented. It will save a lot of time/effort & ensure timely crediting of each employee’s account.
