For a travel agent, being organized is of utmost importance.

You are going to cost your company $25,000 a year. When you enlist the help of others to help you find something, the cost goes up."

"If an income is $25,000/yr. your company loses $6,000, $40,000/yr. your company loses $10,000, $50,000/yr. your company loses $12,600, $125,000/yr. your company loses $32,000."

Here are some things you can do to keep your home travel business running efficiently and successful.

"Create a good logical filing system." 1. Create main, broad categories(use nouns).

2."Sort each main category" (as in an outline). Keep like subjects together(alphabetize with categories). Use the A-Z system only when it is a vendor, client-only file or something similar.

3."Test your system to see if others can find what they need."

4."Create a simple index, and leave it in front of the file drawer."(Do this especially if others have to access your files and if they are large reference files.)

5. "Purge often! STOP KEEPING JUNK!"

"Creating a computer filing system." for Windows(R)

2.Find the folder you want to break down further, and left -click it.

3.While the folder name is highlighted, left-click File on the menu bar. Point to New, then left-click Folder.
