Jobs: Rodion Repin, co-owner and managing partner MillionAgents

Entrepreneurs - people create. Thanks to their ability to generate ideas and a fresh look at familiar things came to light a number of interesting projects. Today Layfhaker wants to introduce you to one more representative of this unique type of people - Rodion Repin, co-owner and managing partner of the company MillionAgents.

What is the secret of productive work of our guest? What tools help him to solve everyday problems and achieve their goals? On this and not only - in our article.

What do you do in your work?

At the moment, I have a few projects in which I am engaged, with varying degrees immersed.

The main time is now spent on MillionAgents - the operator of online platforms for the field research of any scale. Key areas - sales and controlling projects, and oversee marketing and PR.

IN Cane Sugar I am doing basically just marketing. There are still two projects where I am involved in the role of ideology. Details are not going to tell, as they are still at an early stage of development. The first of these - an online project related to the sale of animal feed; second - completely off-line and is related to the construction of the network of coffee houses.

How does your workplace?

In our office all the same tables, their creation and design involved in Cane Sugar. On the glass table tops emblazoned company name. On my desk written MillionAgents. :)

I have one computer for work and home - MacBook Air 13 "laptop. In the office, I connect it to a monitor Apple LED Cinema, also use the keyboard and the touchpad table. To monitor usually always connected charger for the iPhone. Yet I have a cabinet where you store your business cards (given the number of projects they have me quite a lot), as well as all sorts of cords and adapters.

I try not to work at home, so a specially equipped workplace no. But if you still have to, there is nothing specific to this is not necessary, only a router, a laptop and a sofa.

My phone - iPhone 5s. The first iPhone I had back in 2007, and I just got used to it. The degree of freedom and customization that allows Android, I just do not need, so I choose "Phone for blondes." There used to be more Nexus 4, when MillionAgents version of Android applications much faster than under the version of iOS, but now there was no longer need.

There iPad Air, but I do not use it. Bundles "phone - a laptop" to me quite enough. On the phone checking email, watching updates Base CRM and "Bitriks24". Or use it as a modem for a laptop.

What software use?

• Operating system I have is OS X 10.9.4. To operate using Keynote, Pages, Google Docs and MS Excel.
• Mail client - built Makovsky. To him, I was accustomed, and a worthy replacement can not see. On the iPhone I have tried many alternative clients (Mailbox, Gmail, Mymail, etc.), but all the time back to the embedded. Waiting for the desktop version of Mailbox - look, I can be changed. Mail is checked upon receipt. If not for the computer to be viewed on the phone.
• Browser - Chrome and Soast on iOS.
• Storage - Dropbox and Google Drive.
• Setting and control tasks - Base CRM and "Bitriks24".
• Of messengers for using Skype. I almost always online, but if you do not answer, it is better to write a letter or call.

How do you organize your time?

To plan using mainly his head. Many times tried to accustom themselves to a variety of planners, but still keep everything in your head.

Personal assistants I have not. There subordinates, they
I delegate everything I can. But with this approach, it is important to balance delegation and control, not to let things take their course.

What's your daily routine?

I - the classic "owl", and that says it all. I try not to schedule meetings of up to 12 hours and not to attend the morning event. Sorry, I did not always succeed.

What place sport occupies in your life?

I go to the swimming pool. However, not for sport, but rather to relax - just go for a swim, soak in the spa pool, then go to the sauna.

How to pass the time in traffic jams?

Sam, I do not drive a car - go with the driver, so for me it is exactly the same job. The vehicle for this has everything you need: a mobile router 4G +, the inverter 220, charging for all gadgets.

And if it turned out that they appear in traffic in a taxi, then I check my email from your phone, read the news.

Is there a place in your paper work?

It is almost gone. Print only the commercial proposals to re-read, I bring changes by hand if needed. And yet. Notebooks and diaries I have not. On paper, nothing is written. Although sometimes in discussion with colleagues can draw something schematically, especially when it comes to design. To do this, I use regular office paper A4.

Layfhakerstvo by Rodion Repin

I do not like the business literature. True. I have not heard a single book that I liked to. They are either boring because of terrible superficiality and obviousness, or with pretensions to omniscience. Business - it is about the right inner spirit, and not about the collections of recipes and instructions. You can read an infinite number of success stories, learn from best international practices, but if you yourself are by nature prone to whining and defeatism, then nothing will come from you. So enjoy a mood.

I read fiction only and exclusively for pleasure. And, of course, news. Different from a variety of sources, Russian and English. About politics, economics, technology, gadgets, scientific discoveries - about everything. Unnecessary information does not happen, it can always come in handy in the most unexpected place. I'm a little information junkie. :)

Is there a dream configuration?

I want to planner and notebook with a direct connection to the brain. In order to not have to write things, and it was possible to conceive. It seems to me that the only way planners and notebooks can be comfortable. In general, there is no configuration dreams - it's just things. They are sometimes more convenient, often without them easier.

The configuration does not dream gadgets, software and wiring and is not even where it all is, but the people who surround you, in what you do and how you're feeling at the same time.
