Less is more

Did you wonder what more can you do with Excel 2007 Lists and PivotTables? Here it is!

Microsoft Excel 2007 offers many unique capabilities in managing lists, ranging from validating the data, formatting it, using filters to viewing desired subsets of the data, to using powerful database functions and summarizing important information quickly and easily. But it doesn’t stop here. PivotTable Reports get into the picture to help you build useful reports in minutes and modify them easily to answer a variety of business questions and therefore get unique insights from your data. 

 

Kim Silverman, VP of Productivity at People-OnTheGo, who has taught hundreds of the People-OnTheGo webinars helping thousands of participants take their skills to the next level  in many of the Microsoft Office Applications, shared some important insights about Excel 2007 lists in our weekly lunch & learn webinar this week, and gave an overview of what PivotTables can do.

1. Better manage interruptions and stay focused on the task on hand until meaningful results are achieved while being responsive to the demands of your team and collaborate more effectively than ever before.

3. Organize and manage your electronic and paper information easily and efficiently via a duplicate process that is practical and doable, instead of having your day “run over” by  information and “low impact” activities.
    
4. Manage stress like never before through purposeful action rather than passive reaction and turn stressful situations into opportunities.
    
5. Understand the obstacles that are stopping you from reaching your desired accomplishments, and take the necessary actions that will lead to growth and transformation, and significantly increased fulfillment.

Lunch & Learn: Harness the Power of Referrals to Increase Productivity

During yesterday's Lunch & Learn webinar session, Joanne Black, founder of No More Cold Calling, shared her innovative approach to referral selling with our audience. Joanne opened her presentation with an interactive pole, asking audience members to report what percent of the time they gained a new client through a referral. Conversion percents were high, leading Joanne to present another poll question asking audience members how many had a written referral strategy. The response showed very few people having a specific refferal strategy.

Joanne then presented us with the question of why, if referrals are so effective, don't more businesses have a targetted referral strategy? The rest of Joanne's presentation addressed this question and discussed how to consistently attract one's best and most profitable clients while turning every new client into a source of even more business. Joanne's system became even more attractive as she explained turning between fifty and ninety percent of one's prospects into clients, while working less, becoming more profitable and more productive.

To learn Joanne's complete referral selling approach you can attend her upcoming webinar series at a discounted rate.

No More Cold Calling - November 6, 13, and 20 at 8:00 a.m. PST - discount code: NOVDEAL8 ($35 discount!) - http://www.nomorecoldcalling.com/salesworkshop-nmcc.webinar.html
