The class in 20 seconds

  1. 01 · The problem

    You find out how last week went when it's too late to fix it.

  2. 02 · The fix

    A Monday email with your numbers and a Needs action list that names people.

  3. 03 · You leave with

    It running on your own data. A test lands in your inbox before you leave.

    90 minutes. Free. Online 20 October, 3:00 PM ET, or Wake Forest 21 October.

The problem

Your numbers live in your software. Getting them out takes work.

So someone pulls them by hand. Or they sit on paper. Or nobody looks until month end.

By then the invoice is 60 days late. The regular stopped coming. The quote went cold.

Each one showed up in your software weeks earlier. Nobody had time to look.

At month end, an owner lifts a dusty stack of invoices found weeks too late.

What you leave with

A Monday email with your numbers and a Needs action list.

The list names people, not just totals. It runs on your own data, in your own accounts. You send a test before you leave. It lands in your inbox in the room.
