Try a Productivity Quickstart! - Get on Your Path to Finding Anything in 5 Seconds or Less!

Information is power!  If you can find it when you need it.

Imagine this:  Your desk is clear - no more piles, you never miss an important date and always know what to do with every piece of information that comes into your office.  You can put your hands on anything that you need, with very little effort.  To top it off, your staff has the same experience!

Sound like a dream? It's not! If you are like most people today, managing the paper in your life is far from easy. It is difficult to know how to file the paper so you and your team can easily find it later and there is so much of it! The filing systems that you tried in the past simply didn't work and quickly became a paper management nightmare. In addition to the paper, you now have to manage the seemingly endless stream of e-mail and electronic files on your computer. To top it off, when key people are not around, it is difficult for others on the team to find what they need.

You know what you want and you are motivated to work independently; but you want a little more hands-on support?  We provide expertise to get you started right away.

This program is designed for people and teams that are frustrated by the paper shuffle, forget important follow-ups, miss deadlines, or feel overwhelmed managing all the paper and information.  When we’re finished, you will have the beginnings of a functional work area and a filing system that will grow with you.

The Productivity Quickstart combines consulting, coaching and great tools

We can either work in person or work remotely/virtually.  (Ask us for a free demonstration of how this works.)  You don't even have to sort papers or clear things before we begin!  We’ll customize the best system for you to use, given your particular circumstances and needs. We will also discuss time management techniques that will enable you to focus on what's most important.

Return on Investment


The Paper Tiger software has a QUICK PAYBACK!

The average business person wastes over 150 hours per year just looking for lost information!

Return on Investment Calculation (adjust numbers to your specific case):

  • Average cost per hour (including benefits) for an employee's time = $22 (for example purposes).
  • Number of hours lost per year looking for information = 150 (this is just under 3 hours per week on average).
  • Cost this year when you cannot put your hand on information quickly $22*150=$3,300 for just ONE YEAR.
  • Multiply cost per year times number of employees in your organization - if 5 people then the cost is $3,300 times 5 = $16,500 per year (this cost is for every year!).

The cost listed above does not include the opportunity cost of bad customer service due to lost information, slow response time to internal or customer needs, or the frustration and stress of looking for lost information. All of these take a toll on the people in the organization and make your company operate at much less than it's potential.


Payback can be in weeks!

Paper is not going away - actually it is a growing problem in business - having a better method of dealing with it and turning it into a valuable resource for your organization will give you a VERY QUICK return on your INVESTMENT - even when you consider the time it will take to convert to the new Paper Tiger system, many times this return can be in just weeks. 

Best of all, The Paper Tiger system will give you this return on your investment for as long as you are in business. The Paper Tiger software is an investment that keeps returning year after year!
