1 Assess Needs

Before approaching your manager, take stock of what work-life balance means for you. Identify specific areas where your professional life is encroaching on your personal time. Is it the late-night client calls, the weekend emails, or the constant travel that's disrupting your balance? Being clear about what you need to change will help you articulate your concerns more effectively. Remember, it's not just about less work; it's about smarter work that allows for personal time.

Na minha experiência, equilibrar a vida profissional e pessoal n?o significa seguir um horário rígido, mas sim encontrar maneiras de estar presente nos momentos especiais com a família, mesmo no meio do dia, e reservar tempo para as tarefas importantes do trabalho, mesmo nos finais de semana. Trata-se de ser flexível em ambos os aspectos, para extrair o melhor das situa??es.

Em minha trajetória profissional já passei por momentos que n?o acompanhava minha família em suas rotinas, e isso me fez perder momentos importantes e me arrependi muito por isso. Hoje valorizo e priorizo o bem estar em geral. Estarmos bem posicionados e desempenharmos fun??es e ter sucesso n?o significa abrir m?o de nada, como diz muitas frases impactantes , principalmente na área comercial. O maior sucesso e o que lhe trará mais riquezas é encontrar o equilíbrio entre todos os aspectos da sua vida. Na minha rotina eu consigo estar onipresente, e ainda fa?o especializa??o aos sábados de forma presencial. Dá trabalho? Sim, e muito. Mas poder estar presente em momentos importantes com a família é o que mais vale.

Here's how you can approach your manager with your work-life balance. If you wanna be promoted, don't bother. No manager of mine was ever interested in such nonsense. My work-life balance is my business. It's no one else's responsibility. It's my responsibility to take care of my mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial well-being. To think anyone that you work " for " is responsible for your work-life balance is a Namby Pamby attitude. ??

It’s true. In order to properly convey to your manager about how important a work/life balance is to you, you have to be able to specifically articulate to yourself first why it’s important to you. For me, making sure I was a part of my kids’ special achievements while they were (and still are) growing up was my biggest sticking point. Granted, it helps to first earn credibility and some sort of success in your respective field before you lay out your wants and desires to your manager, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes, you just have to look introspectively and ask yourself what is most important to you before you decide to “lay out your demands” so to speak. Family is very important for all of us. It’s the main reason why we work.

Discuss Boundaries Clearly define your boundaries and expectations, such as off-hours availability or response times, to ensure mutual understanding. Gather Support If possible, gather support from colleagues or industry standards that demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of your proposed work-life balance adjustments.

2 Plan Ahead

When you're ready to discuss your work-life balance needs, schedule a meeting with your manager at a time when neither of you is rushed. This shows that you respect their time and are serious about the discussion. Prepare to present your case clearly, focusing on how a better balance will not only improve your personal life but also enhance your work performance. Managers are more receptive when they see how changes can positively impact the business.

3 Be Professional

During the conversation, maintain a professional demeanor. This isn't a time for complaints or personal stories; rather, it's an opportunity to present a business case for work-life balance. Explain how being well-rested and having time to recharge can lead to more productivity and better client relationships in outside sales. Use examples of how a lack of balance has directly impacted your work or how potential changes could improve it.

4 Offer Solutions

Don't just present problems; offer solutions. Perhaps suggest flexible hours, working remotely when not on the road, or delegating certain tasks that can be handled in-office. Show that you've thought about how to maintain or even improve your sales performance while achieving better work-life balance. This proactive approach demonstrates responsibility and a commitment to your role.

5 Follow Up

After your meeting, give your manager some time to consider your proposals. However, don't let the conversation fade away. Follow up with an email summarizing what was discussed and any agreed-upon steps. This not only shows initiative but also creates a record of your efforts to achieve a healthier work-life balance. It also keeps the dialogue open for future discussions.

Uma das partes mais importantes na área comercial é o acompanhamento. N?o só se mostrar presente, mas fazer um follow up da call/ reuni?o e manter as expectativas do processo alinhadas.

6 Adjust Expectations

Finally, be prepared to compromise and adjust your expectations. Your idea of perfect balance may not be entirely feasible, but that doesn't mean improvements can't be made. Be open to your manager's suggestions and willing to try out different arrangements. Achieving work-life balance is an ongoing process, especially in dynamic fields like outside sales.

Managers must plan ahead leave days and offs of subordinates and place relevant back up if necessary. They must not overwork staff unnecessary-staff working overtime. All must be supervised well to work during working hours.
