Running a business in New Mexico is challenging, from putting the bigger picture plans into motion to short term needs like managing your employees and ensuring customers are satisfied. Often the most influential people in ensuring smooth day-to-day business operations are the ones who tend to be the most overlooked: your administrative staff, such as receptionists, title clerks, and office managers.
Since they keep things running smoothly quietly in the background, the contributions of these roles can be taken for granted – until their absence, and then it is quickly obvious how important they truly are.

Daily Workflow
When daily workflow is running optimally, you likely don’t notice. However, when the day-to-day is not well-organized and streamlined, it is soon very apparent as it causes issues throughout the workplace.
When key tasks are forgotten about or otherwise neglected, the effects can be widespread across the workplace and lead to missed deadlines, unnecessary expenses, customer dissatisfaction, delayed order fulfillments, compliance issues, and more.
Examples include:
- Managing calendars and scheduling
- Organizing documents and databases
- Responding to inquiries in a timely manner
- Reconciling invoices and other billing
Cross-Departmental Efficiency
Your administrative team often serves as the connector between all other departments and a main internal point of contact for employees throughout different areas. They can support overall business operations by:
- Being a central point of communication, which saves time and improves accuracy of shared information.
- Handling routine tasks to free up time for departments to specialize on more strategic priorities
Public Perception
Receptionists, office managers, and other administrative roles tend to be the most front-facing, meaning they significantly influence what customers, clients, and the overall public may think of your company.
Having trustworthy employees on your administrative team can boost your company’s public perception in a variety of ways, including:
- Accurate and timely customer service
- Friendly and personalized interactions
- Troubleshooting issues and ensuring resolutions
