Thoughts from the Collab365 Team:
I was definitely firmly in the camp of "Microsoft is expensive to get decent productivity from" and "I need an enterprise licence to do that" when I had originally considered using Microsoft 365 to solve business problems I noticed ... then Matt came along and it literally blew my mind how much I was missing out ...
Up to that point, I'd been looking at solving problems with Excel spreadsheets, felt really clever with learning how to use Vlookup and pivot tables but honestly up to that point had realistically been scratching around for small wins. I wasn't even aware how that level of productivity gain could pale into insignificance against the potential within M365 - and with no greater skillset than the one I already had.
15 minutes in, after Matt had blown the myths wide open around licencing and taught me how to think about that purchase in a different way ... I was hooked and keen to learn more ...
We walked through some of the opportunities at our fingertips to build a better business and how we could use common services to make our day-to-day work lives slicker and free up more available time.
Reading the feedback in the chat as we went, it was reassuring to know I wasn't alone feeling like this. It genuinely is a must see workshop for anyone beginning or wanting to exploit Microsoft 365 as if it were their own private productivity helper.
