TLM Webinars on CD Two one-hour
webinars are available to help you better appreciate how the TLM System helps integration companies manage & improve productivity… 1) Key Numbers The “Key Metrics for Success” webinar covers many of the key numbers
an integration company needs to manage. The feedback from the webinar has been fantastic and I think it would be a great resource
for you, too. It’s a WMV recording so you’ll see every slide and hear the whole narrative, and includes the slide
handout so you can print out the presentation, too (handy for note-taking). Just $14.97 including S&H.
Order via PayPal.
2) Counting Mistakes A second webinar covers the “3 BIG Counting Mistakes” integrators
make - & how to fix them. This will help you understand some basic bookkeeping issues that confound the ability of many
integrators to see their numbers correctly. Also $14.97 including S&H. Order via PayPal.

TLM Productivity Manager Worksheet
The power of monthly planning
for your entire annual operating budget is provided by the Productivity Manager Worksheet. The worksheet easily reconfigures
your company P&L to TLM format, and even provides an instant TLM Metrics Analysis, which helps you see precisely which areas of your company's productivity could be improved. Like the Top-Line Manager Worksheet, Productivity
Manager also includes Fast-Forward's informative Labor Efficiency Analysis. But it goes on to provide a remarkable
one-page dashboard for you to see the profit effect of projected monthly sales, Gross Margin targets, compensation
expenses, and every other key operating variable. Once you have entered your assumptions for these variables, the worksheet
produces a 12-month proforma P&L.
For monthly
review, actual results vs plan are summarized on a one-page Executive Summary Report. The month-by-month P&L for the entire year prints on two pages, for easy distribution to company stakeholders. You can purchase the worksheet using
the PayPal button below.
TLM Financial Manager Worksheet & Support Package

provides productivity planning and analysis across the full spectrum of TLM disciplines: sales and profit management, cost
efficiencies, resource management, and cash flow. It is a highly-refined version of the original management worksheet developed

comparison of various productivity scenarios. Look at a sample of the dashboard here. Financial Manager is offered only with a four-hour support package, to ensure the planning concepts and techniques
