Sample Topics

Here is a list of some typical topics we have been presenting and training on lately:

• Utilizing SharePoint to Improve your business
   
  You can't expect to sell Windows SharePoint services unless you are actually using it within your own business. This presentation will take you through how an IT business like yours can implement SharePoint to improve your own productivity. You will also discover how to take this knowledge out to customers to create more revenue for your business. Learn how to work smarter with SharePoint. If you are planning on selling SharePoint services, and you should be, then you must attend this session to discover what works and what doesn't with SharePoint inside a business and how to leverage that knowledge to produce better business for yourself and your customers.
• Being busy is just an excuse
   
  Are you ‘busy’ all the time? Do you seem never to be able to get anything done? Are you doing the things that excite you? Have you tried all the ‘time management’ techniques but none seem to work? There is a huge difference between being ‘busy’ and being productive. This session will help you understand what it means to be productive and how to go about achieving it. You’ll learn how doing less allows you to do more. You’ll learn how to use technology to automate the repetitive tasks you shouldn’t be doing. You’ll learn how to outsource some tasks for pennies a day. Most importantly you’ll learn how to measure these returns to ensure you are getting a return for the time you invest. This session guarantees to save you at least one hour a day and that alone is reason for attending.
• Social media for SMB businesses
   
  Communicating with clients, prospects and partners is no longer about business cards, flyers and brochures. It is all about social media like blogs, Twitter and Facebook. The question is how can you use this to improve your business? How can you build your skills in social media so you can sell that expertise to your clients? Get on board with social media and change the way that you conduct business and the markets you reach. Learn from someone who is using it successfully to penetrate the global IT market. Learn how a few simply strategies can set you above the crowd and make business seek you out. Most importantly, learn how your business can make money from social media.
  
  
• Getting things done with technology
   
  In many cases technology is actually preventing businesses from being effective. We have let technology dominate our lives. Our inboxes are out of control and every day we struggle to find what we actually need to get our jobs done. How did it get to this? Why are we working longer and harder given the technology we have at our disposal? Learn the techniques to becoming more effective with technology. Learn more efficient ways of dealing with emails, locating information and getting things done. This session will show you how to use and configure technology for productivity and to reduced costs. With this knowledge you can help others improve their productivity while also improving your revenues. This session will start you to becoming an expert in technology utilization and solving common business frustrations rather than merely using technology.
