No it's not a trick question I think it's a legitimate one.  Efficiency for this post is defined as doing things right.  Effectiveness is doing the right things.  Can you do both we'll see. 

If your efficient than your doing things right such as calling clients, walking neighborhoods, completing paperwork on time and all the other good things associated with the word and your work habit.

However if your effective you are not only doing things right your also doing the right things.  I know several people who are efficient once they are given something however they are not very effective.  The secret is to find a balance and for some people they just can't do it.  Does this mean they are not worthwhile no it just means they need a little extra nudge.

I ask you which one are you?  We all will want to be effective but are we?  The answer lies in your mind and it's for you to decide.  Look over the past year and you tell me.    As this is your call I do not judge just for thought meanwhile remember "It's a great day to buy or sell a home.

I could see the difference between efficiency and effectiveness. To me, effectiveness has a higher meaning. It means producing results. Efficiency - not necessarily. I'm converting potential clients into clients much better these days  but that's because of effectiveness. I do not think efficiency has anything to do with it.
