Takeaways

• Excel can be a powerful tool for increasing efficiency in business processes.

• Providing value and building trust over time is essential for converting prospects into paying customers.

Sound Bites

• This dude, Jeff Lenning, has totally figured it out and more than anything, he's figured it out in a way that's completely helped his business.

• I take the skill of using Excel to then help other people use it, not only just like in person, like trading dollars for hours, but now it's this membership kind of a platform, correct?
