Download the complete Sales and Customer Service TBYL Overview.

This course enhances the productivity of Sales and Customer Service employees by teaching them to create and maintain an Integrated Management System. This system uses Microsoft Office Outlook and MPS methods and protocols to process a constant stream of incoming electronic and voice mail communications, next actions and projects.

Sales and Customer service personnel learn to focus effectively on the job without being hindered by a non-stop flood of required--but not necessarily urgent--input, decisions and actions. Employing a three-phase workflow method, they immediately apply the concepts taught to their current work. The system is flexible to adapt to each participant's work style and workload.

By the end of the one-day seminar, Sales and Customer Service will experience a sense of relaxed, focused control, with all objectives, projects, plans, action steps, and information organized in Outlook. Key issues addressed include: managing multiple accounts, tracking data in Outlook and a CRM system, maintaining an organization system while traveling, being proactive in a reactive environment, creating personal boundaries, response times, e-mail overload, e-mail protocol, filing and finding, dealing with interruptions, tracking delegated items and prioritizing.

A pre-call is held prior to the eight-hour seminar to assess roles, objectives and appropriate customization. The seminar can take place in a computer lab, classroom or conference room with a combination of PCs and laptops, preferably connected to the server so participants can work real-time.
