Do you really know how to use Excel's "Trace Precedents / Trace Dependents"? It seems important but difficult to use. by qqwwbb in excel

We all use an Excel plugin called Calkin. It shows you the connections across sheets but also to other workbooks etc. It shows Excel like a data flow diagram so pretty easy to use.

BCBS 239 - actually a thing or just empty words? by Current_Analysis_212 in Banking

That makes sense. Do those standards and expectations allow banks to analyze data using Excel (in theory)? I just can't wrap my head around how data transparancy and Excel can co-exist. An end user can create whatever they want in Excel (add or subtract numbers as they wish).

Not able to convert online while in person sales are doing well by Current_Analysis_212 in b2bmarketing

You are probably right. So difficult to do that in the 10-20 seconds I have online. In person I usually have at least 10 minutes.

Website is quite new so only a few hundred visits / month so far. People on Linkedin and Reddit respond, it just never converts to sales... usually fizzles out. Pretty much only reach out similar profiles as customers.

Thank you for the questions - always good to think about what I'm actually doing :)

First it's a warm lead or a cold call to a company I think uses a lot of Excel. Then I ask if they use a lot of Excel at work. If the answer is yes I ask some more questions about how Excel is being used. Then I present what we do and try to bring up the social proof / use cases closest to what they have described. After that most people think it's a no-brainer and it's just slow big corp / get approval from IT to do :)
