Productivity Tools
We know that you spend so much time every day dealing with email and working in Outlook. Laura is a Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) in Outlook, and even you Outlook experts will be surprised by what you don’t know you don’t know! This training will be real-world, reality-based workflow processing that helps you be MORE productive with Outlook, instead of wasting hours every day playing with it. Laura estimates that most people know 10-20% of the capacities of Outlook.

No travel is required—you attend this virtual training “live” from the privacy of your own office. Laura will present ten one-hour modules covering various aspects of Outlook. This isn’t just computer training. It’s not PowerPoint. She will share her desktop and show her computer screen LIVE using her actual Microsoft Outlook software.

Each webinar is accompanied by a workbook with detailed screen shots and step-by-step instructions, so you can duplicate what Laura demonstrates when the seminar is over. It is a real-time demonstration, where you’ll follow along with your workbook and then go implement what we’ve done on your system.

If you look at the times and think, “Oh darn, I’m not available at that day and time,” don’t worry!! You don’t have to attend the “live” session, because each registration also includes a recording of the entire session! You can still register and receive the recordings and workbooks for the ones you missed.

In these difficult economic times, we are offering this training at a very affordable price to make it easy for everyone to attend: $39 per person. If you attend all ten, the price is discounted to $349 per person. Even if you miss a "live" session, you can still get the discount and purchase all ten modules.

We are using the www.gotowebinar.com platform, which uses either your phone or VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), so you can listen right from your own computer speakers via your Internet connection. We recommend you purchase an inexpensive USB headset (such as the Logitech ClearChat Comfort for around $40) that plugs right into your USB and offers great sound quality and privacy from your office neighbors. Here is a link which should answer any questions you may have about the GoToWebinar platform https://www2.gotomeeting.com/default/help/g2w/pdf/GoToWebinar_Attendee_QuickRef_Guide.pdf.

These webinars are not interactive (i.e., participants ask questions), because one person’s issue may not apply to all of those attending the seminar. The feedback has been that people would rather have our presenter get more content into the session. With hundreds of people in the virtual room at one time, interaction has proven to be chaotic. However, you are welcome to email Laura specific questions you have prior to the webinar at Laura@TheProductivityPro.com.

NOTE: This is a single-person license. The live session, recording, and/or workbook can’t be shared with or distributed to other people. However, if you want to show the webinar in a conference room or have people spread across several locations, call Becca Fletcher at 303-471-7401 or email Becca@TheProductivityPro.com.  She will charge your credit card $390 for a single-site license PER webinar or $1390 for a multi-site license PER webinar (max 100 people in a group).
