Hi we are quite a well established company in our area, started up on my own around 10 years ago and do fairly well.

However, my biggest downfall is the paperwork, I just cannot get systems in place that work (or that I can keep to). I find it extremely difficult to book work in and keep to it, as you know everything is constantly moving. Then you get some people who need it now now now, and others who go quiet and unfortunately get left for the "shout the loudest's". How do you manage this? What systems do you use to book in work?

We have currently got a working job sheet system where we have a wall board and an a4 sheet per customer. We write all their details on the paper and then write down all the time, materials etc put to their job. This then goes on the board. Then when it comes to invoicing everything is on there. This part of it is working well.
