Recent Review:

Pat M. says: "Exactly what I've been looking for.  I knew that Excel was powerful enough to handle my CRM needs but really wasn't sure where to start building one.  This course started from scratch and goes the entire way through building a model.  Really is exactly what I needed, like having a personal coach right beside you.  Highly recommended!"


Why You Should Take This Course With Me:

Have you ever wanted to take control of your sales pipeline and customer relationship management?  Maybe you didn't want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on sophisticated systems, but still wanted more functionality than the basic free systems offer?  You have come to the right place! With just a copy of Microsoft Excel, a little bit of time and this course, you'll have your own fully custom CRM system in next to no time!

In this course we start with the basics of Excel so even a beginner will be able to build the template.  From there, we take a blank workbook, and start building our CRM system.  By the end of the course, we will have a fully functional CRM system which can filter data, run queries, generate pivot table reports, and much more! Harness the power of Excel and combine it with your customer data to unleash an easy to use yet powerful CRM system!

What We Do In The Course:  

  • Learn the basics of Excel (for beginners, intermediate/advanced can skip)

  • Start with a blank workbook

  • Build all of the data fields you would want to track (this is fully customizable to whatever you want it to be!)

  • Create predefined lists so users are limited in their choices for some fields

  • Enter customer data (for testing and demo purposes)

  • Run filters on data to demonstrate the ease of use

  • Create pivot table reports to summarize large quantities of data

  • Create a dashboard report with the key metrics you would want out of your CRM, for example, number of customers at each stage of the sales cycle

  • Learn what NOT to do as well - only the best business practices 

  • Teach you how to then use that information to make informed decisions

  • And Much More!!!  You will be truly impressed with the power of the CRM system. 

At any point if you have a question, please feel free to ask through the course forum, I'd be happy to answer any and all questions.

The course is excellent. Although very basic, I liked the pace and structure of the course. Yes, there is a sea of ​​such courses on the YouTube channel, but unlike many others, this one is systematic. It was thanks to him that I managed to create a CRM in record time.

By Linsey Laughlin on 2/16/2022

The videos are very easy to follow! It is a great course to use to brush-up on rustier excel skills. One thing that could have made the course better for me, was better audio for the excel walkthrough. The sound quality was great on the intro/ course conclusion, but muddled in between. I am very excited to use this course to build a CRM system at work!

By Mohammad Sadrzadeh on 3/11/2020

There are many free you tube videos which are way more better and cover more. What provided is so basic and old school. Also I have asked a question an haven't seen a courteous acknowledgment. I see there are other questions with 0 reply. I need to return for full refund.

By Mark Bedgood on 8/25/2019

Great course! Lots of really good information and it was very well explained. I needed to set up a customized CRM system and didn't want to spend a ton of money. This fit the bill! I was even able to make this work in OpenOffice Calc.

By Jocelyn Tiglao on 6/4/2019

I was already familiar with most of the excel features you covered, from different "how to use excel" type tutorials. But your Masterclass took it to the next step and showed how to put it all together to create a useful product.

By Eser Poyraz on 3/29/2019

Just learning, a tool like Excel or just functionalities (formulas, charts, pivot tables...etc.) is worthless. But learning real business problems and finding solutions to them using Excel is precious. This course exactly created with this purpose. Great course, great teacher. Thank you.

By Aleksandar Popivoda on 2/23/2019

Quick but very useful course. I would recommend it to anyone who is a beginner in CRMs as it gives you the foundation of CRM that you can build on. Instructor has done a great job of explaining the Excel and practical implementation of it in CRM creation.

By Juan Pablo Medina on 12/10/2018

Although ambitious by the course name, it is more an application of pivot tables to create a dashboard. It might be useful for SMB owners who want to have a quick tool to track sales leads.

By Pamela Ramos on 9/19/2018

I found the pace to be extremely well done for someone who is a beginner and may be unfamiliar with Excel, definitely easy to follow instructions. It provided further insight to Excel capability that I've never used and opened the possibilities of what I can do in the future.

By Sagi Levi on 8/29/2018

I enjoyed the course. I work in implementing CRMs' at customers but sometimes all they need is the most quickly and familiar thing to get stating... this is exactly it! Maybe a bit speed up the pace, maybe some more examples beeded as to mixed data charts but altogether satisfied
