Will You Add? - Spreadsheets Aren't Just for Sums!
If you're ever out and about in your city; be sure to take a walk through the historic area. All if not most cities have an historic area. You know, that part of town with the older buildings and chances are some of those buildings may have been restored over the last few decades. When you look at those buildings and the detail that went into erecting such a building; you usually start to wonder about who actually designed the building. What was the thinking process that led to the result that you are
You can also use this data to carry out a mail merge via Word. Create active hyperlinks for the email and website addresses and you can email or visit their website directly from your spreadsheet.
And if you add an additional column for 'Responses' you can simply monitor your success rate too!

Well fear not any more! I'm here to give you some tips on how you can use spreadsheets in your every day business to help you keep organised and on top of your work - and there isn't a formula in sight!
'To Do' List
How do you manage your day-to-day tasks? Do you have a notebook for your To Do lists and cross out each one as you go along? Or do you have little yellow post-its stuck all over the place? Is this really the best way of managing your daily tasks?
Spreadsheets are a great way for you to organise your To Do list. Set up headings in the first row and add your tasks below. You can then sort your list by any column that you choose, making it an interactive To Do list. And best of all, your list is contained in one place.
Create a shortcut to your To Do list and place it on your desktop so that you can access it easily, or just keep it open and minimise your screen each time you're not using it.
Log Registration/Password Data
Another great way to use spreadsheets is to keep track of all those websites that you've registered at, and need to insert a username and password in order to gain access to.
Even though I try and keep to the same username/password I sometimes find that a website will require you to insert your username or password in a certain way, with digits as well as letters, or a minimum of six characters etc. etc. and then it starts to get confusing remembering which username/password for which site!
Set up a spreadsheet with Organisation, Website Address, Username, and Password as your column headings, and keep track of this information in one easy-to-use place. As your list starts to get longer, you can also sort your data into alphabetical order, making it even easier to find your registration details.
Create a Simple Mailing Database
Another great use for a spreadsheet is to set up a simple mailing database. Perhaps you've researched a target market and want to send them a mailing. By creating a spreadsheet to input their name, address, phone number, email address, and website you can easily keep a track of your data.
You can also use this data to carry out a mail merge via Word. Create active hyperlinks for the email and website addresses and you can email or visit their website directly from your spreadsheet.
And if you add an additional column for 'Responses' you can simply monitor your success rate too!

In marketing any business, the most important task to undertake is to identify who is most likely to buy your product. Business Mailing Lists help in this respect. Business Mailing Lists contain the names and addresses of individuals who, according to their profiles, are most likely to buy your product.These lists are invaluable to any business organization. Without one such list, marketers would have to grope in the dark and build up a prospective list of clients one by one. But how does one use B

Everyone in business will eventually face a real crisis of conscience at some point or points in his or her career. Before you face that critical choice, I believe most people would say it is easy to think that they will act ethically, no matter what the personal cost. However, what will you really do when you are faced with the personal cost of losing the job you love (or desperately need) and placing your family’s welfare and your own self worth in jeopardy?How confident are you that you will a

Is cash a little bit tight? Have you ever risked missing payroll? Have you ever had to pass up an opportunity because you did not have enough money? If so, you are not alone.

Wherever you work, at a home office or at a work office, your office working experience depends entirely on its design and productivity. If you ask any experts, they will tell you that your office environment and ambience can tell a lot about your efficiency and productivity. A bad office design and an insipid office environment may dampen your spirit and seriously curtain your overall productivity. You may not have the required budget and necessary time to carry out a detailed office renovation work. Nev

Track Potential Clients and Follow-ups
If you regularly have enquiries from potential clients, whether they're phone calls or directly via your website, you can set up a spreadsheet to track this data. You can see where your enquiries are coming from, which method of marketing is the most effective, and if the prospect turned into a client.
You can also add an additional column for 'Follow-up Date' and perform a sort on this column so that you know who to follow up with and when!
Monitor a Project/Activity Planning
Because spreadsheets also accept date formats they are a great way to track projects or plan activities. You can easily use autofill to create a date timeline too. Use the column headings for your dates, and the rows for your activities.
As you work along the timeline, you can hide the columns with past dates, showing only those columns for current and future dates. And if you want to be really creative, use different colours for the cells to represent different activities, i.e. blue cells = to be done; red cells = overdue etc.
There are so many more projects that you could use a spreadsheet for that don't require you to input complicated formulae. When I was compiling this list for you, I thought of twice as many again, all of which would help you to organise your day-to-day business activities.
