Microsoft Office: How to leverage Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word
Current Situation
Microsoft Office has found its way to 80% of all Small/Medium Businesses and over 86% of Large Businesses. However, studies show that the average Microsoft Office user only uses 10% of the available functionality. How can you leverage Microsoft Office beyond what you are doing today?
Integration
Microsoft Office is a suite of applications that all integrate with each other. Start using this integration.
Use Microsoft Outlook as your Sales Pipeline Management Tool.
Outlook can do much more than just send/receive email and act as your calendar. When utilized, Outlook can be the only Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool you need:
• Capture leads from your website
• Track leads, clients and orders
• Remind you when to follow up with a lead or client
• Integrate with mobile devices (Blackberry, iPhone, etc)
Stop creating “monster spreadsheets”
We have all seen the spreadsheets that seem to go on forever. One, single, massive grid of data. At some point the scale of the sheet makes it utterly unmanageable. Eventually, it takes hours to keep it up to date…instead of minutes or seconds. Start using Microsoft Access to manage your data. Yes, it’s a database, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. In the long run, you’ll save hours of unproductive time.
Collaboration
Today it is becoming more and more common to have teams of people working from different locations. Keeping lines of communications open and collaborating on projects can become challenging. Microsoft Office has several ways to help.
a. Microsoft Outlook – email, meeting invitations, team calendars, individual calendars
b. Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint all have the ability to track changes and add comments
c. Use Microsoft SharePoint to share materials, calendars, task list and documents. Microsoft SharePoint will also track versions automatically. No longer to have names like “proposal1.doc, proposal2.doc, proposal3.doc”.
Templates
Stop asking your officemates “who has the latest version of the Microsoft Word document?” Worse yet, stop reinventing the wheel every time you create a Microsoft Office document. All of the Microsoft Office applications give you the ability to create templates and they are automatically stored in a location where you can see them whenever you select “New” from the Microsoft Office button.
Microsoft Office is an extremely powerful tool that is not utilized to its fullest extent. You have already purchased it…why not leverage it? No need to go out and buy new software. You already have the tools to increase productivity and boost efficiency.
