Office 365 for Business

| January 6, 2017 | 0 Comments

office-365-expertCall That Girl offers Office 365 Expert Consulting and technical assistance to clients around the world. We offer fast same day service with no contracts. Our remote support tools allow us to remote into many computers to be more efficient.

Most clients call us  for the following reasons

  • Office 365 is a bit confusing and they want to talk to someone who can explain it to them and ask the right questions to make sure Office 365 is the right choice. See the “New to Office 365” section below.
  • They have already been through a migration that didn’t go well. Companies such as GoDaddy seem to have migrations that leave clients calling Microsoft to finish the job. Sometimes Microsoft cannot assist. This is where I step in and can help you resolve those last lingering issues and offer on-going support. See the “Need Office 365 Aftercare” section below.
  • They are looking for a smaller experienced company to help with their migrations and have it go as seamless as possible. With my forms and surveys, I do my best to have your migration completed in one day. I offer next day aftercare to insure everyone on the team has their special issues resolved. See the “Why Hire Lisa” section below.

If you are a IT Professional and are looking for coaching, I am glad to help! Contact me for information on my Office 365 coaching packages. 

New to Office 365? 

  • Looking for a company to help your company migrate your email, calendar and contacts to Office 365 Exchange? This is one of my favorite projects to do. I help small businesses get migrated in one day and then have an aftercare session. Training is optional but I offer that with my Outlook Training Videos, created with clients in mind.  Clients who purchase migrations services from us, every employee get a complimentary login so they can watch at their own pace.
  • Migration pricing: I have standard pricing, no hidden prices. 

Need Office 365 Aftercare? 

  • Already on using it and have a few questions? I know the answers! Most issues are leftover problems your IT company doesn’t know how to fix it and I do. 
  • Calendar and contacts a mess after a migration? I help clean it all up and help your team get organized with sharing with the team and for mobile device use.
  • What about SharePoint and OneDrive? I can help you with setting up, configuring and training. The hardest part of both of these is doing everything right the first time.
  • Phones, iPads and tablets not working right? Probably configured wrong, I will help you get everything in sync and teach you a few tricks I know to help your experience even be a better one!

Why Hire Lisa

Looking for an experienced technician? I have over 17 years of working with Microsoft Outlook and since 2010 have been migrating clients email from pop/IMAP to Exchange. Over the years, I have worked on making my migration processes better by documenting issues from the past. While no migration is 100% seamless, I learn from issues and update my notes and surveys. Technology can change very fast and having a technician who is up to date on these issues is the value you get with working with a small company. As well, I’m the only technician so the call back times during migrations are immediate. If your company uses 3rd party apps such as Gmail calendar syncing, iCloud or other programs, I am familiar with most of those and know how to export data correctly.

Tired of not being in the loop with your tech company? I also know how to manage expectations so when a technical snag arises, I communicate this with you as soon as I’m aware. My vendor AppRiver and their tech support team are top notch. They offer 24 x 7 support so if after we are done with the migration, you get continued phenomenal support with AppRiver. As well, I’m the only technician so the call back times during migrations are immediate. Finally, I am an Outlook Expert, so if Outlook is having issues during a migration, I know how to quickly resolve these issues.

what-techs-think

  • Who pays for training these days – When you can Google everything now? Googling for answers can be exhausting if there are no errors to work of of. Learning Outlook better to fix the insides and outsides is what I offer in the training videos.
  • Training is time consuming – and always during billable work hours. Recorded video training is the best way for technicians to learn at their own pace and in their downtime, not taking away from billable hours. Learn at your own pace!
  • We are a Google Shop – Learning Outlook doesn’t help us, we know enough, we get by. But what about new clients who are an Outlook company and are not on Exchange, do you know enough to support them?
  • I hate Outlook – I hear you, it’s how I feel about hardware. I don’t like it, so I never enjoyed having to work on hardware when I had stores or went onsite. But I do know the components of a computer and what I’m comfortable assisting with.
  • We don’t get enough calls for Outlook – because you don’t have it on your services list on your website or market it.  See below.

what-techs-should-think

  • Lost billable time– How many jobs took you many hours or days to figure out that were not billable because you didn’t know what you were doing? How did that job end up?
  • Deer in the headlights panic – Do you feel that way every time an Outlook job comes your way and  hope it’s an easy fix?
  • Group support – Wouldn’t it be great to have a group of other technicians to talk to for help when you have you done everything you know of? Or just starting a job you are very unfamiliar with?
  • Outlook is your clients business life – Learn more about how your clients treat Outlook. It’s not just a program to them, to some it’s every bit of their business and personal life. They manage many email accounts, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks. The more familiar you are, the more comfortable your clients will feel.
  • Frustrated – Think of the last time you had a difficult Outlook job and really was irritated, worse…how did your clients feel about it?

bigpayoff

  • Pays for itself – Consider this course the same price as one hour or so of your hourly billable rates.
  • Unlimited video view time – Take notes and come back and practice. Sections outlined for quick reference. Notes under each video.
  • Worth one tip – Just learning one tip can save you hours of researching online. You will learn more than one though, all during my courses I had many unscripted stories and tips that I share from my past experiences
  • Real-time help – Facebook Group for when you need troubleshooting and a bit of help
  • Raise your rates – You may also be able to raise your Outlook rates as its specialty work if your competitors don’t offer Outlook support. Check out your competitors websites, see who offers Outlook help on their service menus. You would be surprised how many companies do not list Outlook.
  • Marketing advantage – Once you are more confident, you can add Outlook support to your newsletter marketing, website and other ads or blogs.  and add “Outlook Support” to your website.
  • Have a competitive edge – Not many tech support companies offer Outlook support so when clients are looking at services pages of your company and your competition, this could put you above the competition.
  • Feel comfortable and safe – Learn in my videos how to back up before you do any work, that is the way to feel comfortable and safe going into surgery level work, that’s what I do every job if I feel it’s necessary.

 what-techs-say

“ In Lisa’s new Outlook troubleshooting series, she shares her expertise which she has learned over the past 20 years in the IT industry. She will guide you through the process of fixing Outlook problems most technicians would throw in the towel on. The series will make you more productive and save you tons of time troubleshooting and fixing the problems, so the client can get back to work and increasing your Outlook expertise and company’s profitability.

This is one of the best training sessions I have attended over my IT career and you will be amazed how little you really knew previously about the nuances of Outlook and Exchange. Along with the basic Outlook training series the troubleshooting series will give your technicians the one-two punch to create new business relationships because they will know they can fix the Outlook problems the right way the first time! Thanks to Lisa for sharing her knowledge with the IT community!”

Lisa “Call That Girl” Hendrickson, Outlook Expert

About your trainer

I don’t treat Outlook like a program, but more like an extension of my clients personal and business lives. I will teach you how to feel the same I do about this in the video and on-going support in the Facebook groups. Too many techs treat it like another regular program, but it’s far from that. If you can perfect your Outlook skills, you will be in a good place with your clients. They will come to rely on you to keep their Outlook running and keep their business running with the least amount of downtime. Sure, clients can use the webmail, but they will hate it and want you to fix it as soon as possible.

You are learning from one of the top Outlook Expert’s in the world, Me! I have over 20 years of supporting email and Outlook in corporate and small business environments.  I am a big fan of community advocacy of teaching and participating in online forums and groups. I will be in the Facebook group helping all the technicians as much as I can. I’m excited to see the other technicians jump in and help as well.
