Are you Tracking Leads and Opportunities in a Spreadsheet?

We talk a lot about how many of our customers run their business on old systems that don't necessarily talk to each other. Often, the only way to move data from one system to another--for example from a bid system to a project management system--is through manual entry or through downloading a spreadsheet from one system and uploading it to the other.

Building Professional Proposals

We wrote a blog earlier this year about how we run into companies that are using Excel or Google Sheets as a sales funnel, which makes it hard for sales reps to share information, makes it hard to collaborate, and makes it hard for the sales manager or owner to see what is really in the funnel.

Microlearning Improves Field Team Efficiency, Customer Satisfaction

Warren Buffett is regarded as the most successful investors of all times. Key to his success has been his methodical way of finding companies with significant value and great growth potential.

What Is Enterprise Resource Planning Software?

Great question. Companies typically start asking about Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software when they realize their business processes aren’t working together. They find themselves using a combination of software, spreadsheets, databases, and third-party solutions. They discover that their data is duplicated and full of errors. They notice that information doesn’t flow throughout the business, causing delays, missed opportunities, and broken communication. That’s what ERP is: integrating a business’s process into a single, user-friendly solution, making the data easy to find, accurate, and constantly up to date.

Innovative Training Programs Produce Better Business Outcomes

Building business value does not come by accident and the best companies know it. Business value comes from delivering products and services better than your competition through effective process, good profit margins and lower cost of operations.

Great companies know that having good products and services with well honed processes are not enough. They know that their teams need to be well trained on their programs, their processes, their customer care and deliver mechanisms and more.

Building Predictable Revenue Streams

Making Online Training Interactive

In a recent blog, we talked about how COVID is causing more and more training companies to migrate from solely delivering content in person to delivering content on-line. Doing so, however, doesn't mean that you need to take your highly-personalized, in-person courses and turn them into one-hour death-by-PowerPoint sessions.
