The Time For Results Program
Time For Results revolutionary new product that infuses time management principles into the technology tool of Microsoft Outlook, bringing increased productivity which means more dollars at your discretion for organizational needs.
In a recent Time For Results program, an engineer was ecstatic that the techniques taught would save him at least 4 hours a week. Another attendee, a president of a large contracting firm and an avid Blackberry and Outlook user, stated that the Time For Results program would save him 3-5 hours a week as well. He wanted everyone in his company to have the training.
With the Time For Results program, everyone can find more time. Compute the benefits: A person who is paid $55,000.00 a year plus benefits, makes about $37.00 an hour. If that person gains just 4 hours a week, as people who have gone through the program testify, that person has given the company a gift of $148.00 worth of more productivity per week. That is a gift of $592.00 per month and $7,104 per year.
Key discussion points of this program include:
- Reducing the deluge of e-mail
- Understanding the interconnectivity of Outlook folders
- Streamlining how team work together for the competitive advantage
- Using technology to take control of personal time
By training just 12 people from your organization in the Time For Results program, you have a potential productivity gain of $85,248.00. Would your bottom line like that kind of productivity gain from just 12 people?
Recent studies have indicated that if workers could reduce wasted time by just five minutes every hour, productivity would jump 8.3 percent. If an employee wants to be more productive, Time For Results is the right program to purchase.
Learners are introduced to advanced features in Microsoft Outlook and to a disciplined process of work flow as tasks come into the Inbox from managers, co-workers, and clients, dramatically improving the productivity of the teams.
The Time For Results program is also available for reinforcement as a streaming video program. For a live demo, go to www.TimeForResults.com.
