“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
