Welcome to Table Talk with Toptimizers. Table talk is our ramblings about awesome articles or topics we find that we want to share with you. Join us for these bonus episodes outside of our regular show dates. We’ll see you at the top!
Business coaches are your cheerleaders to keep you moving forward. We help you set goals, stay on track, and keep you motivated to reach those goals.
Business consultants are more hands-on. If you need more help, need more knowledge, or are out of time to get more done, then consultants come in to make change actually happen by doing the work for/with you.
We can help you decide which is right for you.

- Table Talk: Working with Remote Teams
Welcome to Table Talk with Toptimizers. Table talk is our ramblings about awesome articles or topics we find that we want to share with you. Join us for these bonus episodes outside of our regular show dates. We’ll see you at the top!
Remote teams open up your candidate pool so that you can find the right person instead of just the closest person. When you hire remote workers you still have all of the same options when it comes to employment type - full-time employee, contractor, or freelancer.
You may save on overhead or find higher levels of productivity as well. Remote teams may be dispersed around the globe by allowing team members to work from home or centralized in one remote office.
And even though the skills to oversee a remote team are different than those in office, all of the software available sure makes it easier. Programs like Slack, Trello, Google Docs, and more allow you to work in one way throughout any location.

Welcome to Table Talk with Toptimizers. Table talk is our ramblings about awesome articles or topics we find that we want to share with you. Join us for these bonus episodes outside of our regular show dates. We’ll see you at the top!
A project is an activity outside regular business operations that has a defined beginning and end.
A project manager should be the person overseeing these projects instead of passing off the project to the operations department.
Each project has a project lifecycle that includes initiation, planning, execution, monitoring & controlling, and closure.
Join us today to learn more about project management and why you should have a contract or freelance project manager associated with your company.
