Self-Devpt. Nuggets™

I periodically offer unsolicited income generating ideas, via phone/email to CEOs of training companies I discover offer MS Excel training. In fact, I just did THAT today, with a Lagos based trainer.

This article explains why I give away money making ideas I could use by myself!

As an Excel-VB Solutions Developer, I’ve used my experiences over the past 10 years to narrow down to a niche market that rewards me best for what I do.

By this I refer to the Farm Business market, where I have clients from within/outside Africa.

I serve that market 95% of the time by creating customizable Excel-VB apps and other products that I sell to players in it. E.g. my Livestock Feed Formulation Handbook and its accompanying Excel-VB Driven Ration Formulator™ app. Screen shots and details at www.boostyourfarmprofits,biz.

A visit to my blog at http://tayosolagbade.com/sdnuggets/ will reveal that up to 80% of new web marketing articles I publish there – DAILY – are targeted at farm business owners.

I however continue to support clients with products I built in the past e.g. my Payslip Generator™ which is used by companies like Motayo Hospital in Ikeja, Med-In Specialist Hospital in Ogudu etc

Then there is my Automated Invoice Generator™, Clinic Manager™, Hotel Records Manager™, Auto Cash Book™ etc used by other client companies that hired me over the years.

Today, CEOs outside the farm industry still reach out to me even though I rarely make them offers.

That’s Why I Readily Connect With Training Service Providers, Who Offer MS Excel® Training Courses…

If, as a training provider, you can INCLUDE job based spreadsheet automation coaching with formal training you provide, you’ll be able to charge MORE, AND also get an increased signup and referral rate as well.

The results I have gotten over the past decade convince me of the accuracy of the above…

I have also been contacted by multinationals like PZ Cussons and even Shell (both finding me via Google), regarding providing the above mentioned services i.e. further proof that this can work!

The 2 Documents Listed Below Are Those I Often Send to Training Providers, to Elaborate on Ideas I Suggest to Them

Even though it addresses farm business users, the ideas in this PDF apply to MS Excel users in ANY industry!

2. SAVE_MONEY_By_Preparing_Your_Company_Pay_slips_In_Microsoft_Exceln.pdf

I get web based enquiries about from ALL over the world about this FREE PDF’s subject/topic.

Today, I rarely contact other industries – except for those who “invite” me.

This is why I feel making this suggestion to Excel training providers is best. They can use the ideas I offer to hopefully BOOST the impact of their offerings to client companies.

If You Offer MS Excel Training, Rather Than Just Teach Basic to Advanced MS Excel®, I Suggest You Go Further…

…and coach/train users to automate as much as possible of what they know how to do as possible!

That way, they’ll achieve a MASSIVE jump in productivity. Career persons in paid employment can get very busy.

So much so that even when they are Excel gurus, TIME may not be enough for them to use their advanced expertise to get work done on time, and to the required standard.

If they are taught smart Excel-VB driven automation, they’ll be able to develop small spreadsheet apps with time and effort saving features, that’ll remove the drudgery from using Excel for their work.

Even errors that can – and often do! – occur from the human element will be reduced.

I say all this based on my successes doing it in paid employment as well as in business.

I hope you find use for it…and PLEASE share it with others you know offer Excel support.

Why Am I Doing This?

Simple. I’ve always believed in helping others improve. It’s a passion of mine, and I get paid fairly well to do it by my primary target audience.

Instead of letting material I have for other industries waste away, I feel it’s better to give it out, so willing others can make use of it to do what they do better.
