Microsoft Home Use Program
Microsoft Home Use Program
Now you can invite employees to sign up for the Microsoft Home Use Program
There is still a lot to learn about this program being offered to business 365 account holders. I got this message yesterday, heard about it a few days ago. I’ll update this blog when I have more information but here is what I know right now:
- These have to be configured in Azure, if you don’t know how to to get to Azure, I can help
- If you have an IT provider that pays for your licensing and you pay the IT provider, they will be the ones who have to setup the accounts
- This might be something that is not covered by the contract, so expect extra billing for the family accounts
- I will also assume these accounts will not be supported by the IT provider under the contract, this is something you will want to ask
- If you are a customer of mine on plans with Appriver, I am checking on this now to know more about their sales and support.
- Expect confusion with accounts of your family members if they already have a Microsoft 365 home account (this includes msn.com, outlook.com, live.com, hotmail.com, etc)
I’ll update as I have more information. If you want to contact me, please email lisa@callthatgirl.biz or call 612-865-4475
How to use Microsoft Outlook as a CRM
How to use Microsoft Outlook as a CRM
Many of my clients are heavy Outlook users, almost since the day Outlook was launched. They love it, live in it and consider it their own technical house. But they want everything to work together, inbox, calendar, tasks, contacts with their phones and devices.
Flowing the inbox emails to calendar and task events to managing your contacts all can be done with Outlook where you are essentially creating your own CRM system. If you own a business, you are in sales. If you own a business, your work has workflows and processes. If you are interested in learning how I can help you turn your Outlook into your own CRM system, here is how it usually works.
In our first appointment, I remote in and see what you are doing now, review your settings and then create a game plan for you and your team.
Then I can continue to work with you or the owner to construct the new work process you want done, I’ll teach you all the configuration tricks, templates and how 365 can work with this too, including sharing data with your employees.
Once the configuration and processes are complete, you can decide if you want group training or private one on one. Some users learn at different paces, but the most important part is having everyone follow the new process so it works. The time you spent getting this system up and running is an investment in your company.
To schedule a consult, use the form below and I’ll let you know I can help. Or you can just schedule your first appt too.

SOLVED Outlook 2016 stuck on processing
“Outlook 2016 stuck on processing” is a common problem with Outlook 2016 and with Windows 10. It’s more commonly seen with Windows 10, but I have seen it happen with Windows 7. I am a Microsoft Outlook Expert and get these calls often. My last client clicked on the “Upgrade” button (from 2013 to 2016) and that did it for him.
You can google and find many repairs and fixes on Microsoft forums, but here is the easiest way to fix this because you will probably have this issue again. I know the program and what works and what doesn’t. I know you are out looking for a simple answer. But, this is not a simple answer, I’m afraid. It took me about an hour to fix and I know what I’m doing. Time is money, so I don’t mess around with repairs.
Downgrade your Office 2016 to Outlook 2013. It will not remember your profile or old settings (might, but doubtful), so be sure you have all of your email settings, account information and passwords ready. Backup your data too if you haven’t in awhile, just in case. Your PST files will still be there and you can add them back in after you have a new profile setup.
The reason I say downgrade is because I have tried repairing Office 2016 and I have found it to completely uninstall Office. I have tried the repairs Microsoft says to do, the FixIt tool and manual. I’ve found that, not all work, and to me it’s a waste of time trying to fix Outlook 2016 when it’s just not stable enough. Downgrading is stable! Outlook 2013 has been debugged now enough and I still use it myself due to issues I had in the past. Time is money for me and I don’t have time to mess around with “trying” things that might never work or break again.
If you don’t know how to downgrade, you can contact Microsoft and they will help you for free. I can help you but I do bill for my time and know the process on how to do it. Should be about an hour for me to do it. ‘
You can use my scheduler link below to find a good time when I can remote in and help. Thanks!
