What Customers Say About These Products:
"I
bought Tip Sheet #7 to help with processing e-mails more efficiently. I was
drowning in it and my boss was too. I really liked the tips for managing. I am
beginning to implement them and they are helpful."
"I purchased Tip Sheet #1: What Do Managers Want From You because I want to learn how to do the very best for my manager. I also purchased Tip Sheet #6: The Administrative Professional's Guide to Doing Research on the Internet to help improve my skills in this area. I enjoy learning new ways to do my job and the tip sheets are a wonderful tool to help me do that.
The tip I found most helpful was in tip sheet # 6. I learned how using arithmetic (+) or (-) in your searches can narrow down the search.
I am very thankful that information like this can be obtained for a low cost."
[The section about] Specific Administrative Professional Goals is helping me add more responsibilities to my current duties, by way of goal setting."
"I purchased [the VIP product] because I want to be a
better admin and I will do whatever it takes to get there. I love this
product. It makes you think and gives helpful tips."
to CIO
"I purchased Goal Setting for Administrative Professionals because I can use some help in setting my professional goals. I’ve been an assistant for over 25 years, but I don’t want to feel like I’m too set in my ways. A little assistance in looking at things from another perspective never hurts.
[The sections about] The Questions that Inspire Goal-Setting and the Specific Professional Goals were very helpful in providing a new viewpoint to approaching goal-setting.
I think you’ve done a great job of providing a variety of information needed by today’s administrative professionals."
Sr. Administrative Assistant Marietta, GA
"I purchased [the tip sheets about] E-mail Management, Goal Setting, and What Managers Want, because I am always looking for ways to work smarter not harder.
Most of the information I have heard or sounds like common sense, but it is always good to get a refresher course. I am really enjoying the E-mail Management and What Managers wants. The amount of information is just right."
"I purchased [tip sheet 5] because I was preparing
for my yearly evaluation at work, and I was having difficulty determining new
goals and objectives. The information I received was very helpful and I was
able to identify the objectives and goals that I want in my current position.
"I loved this! I found it to be very helpful. Especially the 7 Things You need to know in order to set professional goals at work. That helped me begin thinking on the right track."
Jaclyn Mattson
"I purchased the 'Effective Admin VIP' package because I’m worth it! I love my
job and want to continue to strive to be the absolute best at it.
I love this product and all of the information it contains. It’s relevant and
helpful in a variety of ways.
Administrative Assistant to the Dean of Academic Affairs
Herkimer, NY
"The goal setting article was fantastic. I was able to set some personal goals
with my boss for the upcoming year. The goals were ones that I was able to
think about and come up with, then present them to my boss. They are inline
with our company vision and what my boss has set for her own goals."
Administrative Secretary
"[The Basic Guide to Goal Setting] is a great tool to help you get on track
with short and long term goals. I found it to be very easy to follow."
Rebekah Asuncion
Executive Assistant
Norfolk, VA
"I wanted to improve my skills and felt that this [An Effective
Admin VIP] product would be a good learning tool. I LOVE IT! There is so
much to read - but the email etiquette has been invaluable."
Lydia Marie Snyder
Executive Assistant
Orlando, FL
"I purchased The Basic Guide to Goal Setting for
Administrative Professionals because I was looking for assistance and
direction in creating my own goals. This is the first year our company has
required admins to create their own goals linked to performance.
The questions that inspire goal setting & specific professional goals for
administrative professionals section was very helpful. I did not use any of
the goals listed, but it helped me brainstorm areas for performance
improvement and development of new systems and procedures.
Thank you for putting together such a helpful product. I am not sure what I
would have done with out it! I have encouraged other assistants in my company
to purchase it for their own use."

glance -- until you know exactly what minute-taking really is and how you do
it. In this tip sheet you'll learn what minutes are and what minutes are
not; why minutes are useful and important (there really are some good
reasons); what types of meetings you might take minutes at; who the
attendees really are and where you put them on the minutes; how to prepare
to take minutes (that's half the job right there); how to actually take
notes for minutes at meetings, and how to type them up later to form the
final minutes; plus lots more. You'll learn some basic definitions for words
like motion and quorum, and get some ideas to "troubleshoot" things that
might happen while minute-taking that affect you and your job at hand. If
you've never taken minutes at meetings or never do this task as well as
you'd like to, then this tip sheet should improve your minute-taking skills
significantly.
