WELCOMEWelcome to the 30th Annual SNUG Conference and 1st JOINT meeting with the PINetwork.

We have a fully packed agenda for this year’s conference with lots of great presenters and timely topics and have tried to show value in our conference with a wide variety of content to appeal to a broad base. We encourage you to make every effort to attend as many sessions as you can and select the session you feel will benefit you best, even if it is ‘indicated for the ‘other’ platform.

We start off Sunday with the Startel & Professional TeleData Technical Day. The Startel/PTD team along with some of our membership have worked very hard to provide us training and information that will help us understand our systems better. Come ready to learn and leave with a greater understanding of some of the reports available to us along with a few other aspects of our Soft Switch programming. In the evening we will have our Opening Reception where you can enjoy some great food and network with some new and old friends.

Monday is Startel/PTD Day where our vendor will showcase what they have been working on over the past year and give us an advanced viewing of some of the exciting things available to us in 2017. Review the agenda to see some of the amazing things they will be covering.

SNUG typically does not hold vendor exhibitions because of a very full schedule and the desire to have the primary focus on the primary vendors Startel & Professional Teledata.Because of requests however, this year the board has decided to add a special section and opportunity for peripheral vendors that do not compete with Startel Products or Services.Following the close of Monday’s General Session there will be a Wine (and Beer/Sodas) and Cheese reception where you can meet casually with our Vendor representatives:

PeoplePraise, CallCenter Sales Pro, Call-a-Doctor Plus, Ipitimi & Pulsar 360

For Tuesday we have several separate tracks of sessions with different presentations for everyone in your company. I encourage you to review the session descriptions so that you can plan out your day. Our presenters have worked hard to provide you with information that you can take back and use in your daily operations to grow your service. We will close out Tuesday night with the Startel Totally Awesome 80’s Party starting at 6:30p

We hope you are ready to have some fun and have an amazing three days of learning and networking!

We are delighted to have you with us.

TUESDAY - MAY 2ND-20179a-11a – Taming the E-Mail Beast: Key Strategies for Managing your E-Mail Overload – Randy Dean Every day, managers and professionals are getting buried under a continuing stream of both useful and useless e-mail. Without a system for getting “control of the beast”, professionals spend much of their work (and personal) time spinning wheels and feeling highly unsatisfied. If you would like to get control of your e-mail “beast”, you should attend this program. Learn a proven system for taming your e-mail account, strategies for keeping your inbox efficient and under control by building and administering a personal “e-mail infrastructure”. Reduce the mess in your inbox by having “natural” places for your e-mails to go. Learn how to get rid of all those “quick little” e-mails once and for all, as well as how to mitigate or even eliminate much of that annoying junk and spam. Learn several key technical tips for better managing your e-mail more efficiently using market-leading software like MS Outlook and/or Gmail. Finally feel on top of your e-mail and related activities, rather than feeling it is on top of you.. (see separate bio for Randy Dean)

11:20a – 12:15p – Finding an Extra Hour Every Day: Strategies for Reducing Distraction/Finding Focus – Randy Dean In this popular quick-hitting program on “finding an extra hour of productivity” every day, Randy Dean, MBA, The E-mail Sanity ExpertR, uses humor and high energy as he goes into many of the most common areas of productivity loss (and possible gain!) afflicting many busy professionals today: managing multiple projects, maintaining “traction” when dealing with tasks and interruptions, managing your e-mails more efficiently, clearing the clutter in your mind for better focus and attention, keeping staff on task, tracking “who owes you what” and getting that information on time, and better managing your calendar and contacts for better time and relationship management. His goal is to help stressed out performers learn several new and immediately useful strategies for finding a few minutes on tasks, activities, and actions you are already doing, leading to at least an extra hour of productivity every day. We will also cover a few key areas of common distraction: interruptions (both phone and in-person), text messaging, smart phone/app/social media distraction, and more, as well as a better way to start and manage your day so more time and focus is devoted to your key projects, clients, and activities with less distraction. (see separate bio for Randy Dean)

1:20p-2:30p – Deploying Secured Messaging: Aaron Boatin In this session, Aaron Boatin will cover the ins and outs of deploying the top secure text messaging solutions for your clients. It will include step-by-step instructions for setting up programming for your Startel software.

1:20p-2:30p – Intelli-site Member Contract & More – Lauren Garza & Team This session will cover the Intellisite options, with a heavy concentration on the Contact Page -What we use it for, as well as an overlook at what is required to set up an IntelliSite contact page for your clients and / oremployees!

4:00p-5:00p – Pearls of Wisdom from your colleaguesThis will be an interactive session where you can pick the brains of your peers. People will be able to ask their colleagues how they address/solve/deal with issues and situation in their call center. The floor will be open to everyone and we’re hoping to come away with some “best practice” ideas for everyone.

Randall Dean, MBA, The E-mail Sanity Expert® and author of the recent Amazon.com #1 E-mail Bestseller, Taming the E-mail Beast, has 25 years of experience using and teaching an advanced time management/personal organization system, including systems for effective e-mail management, office clutter reduction, optimizing your Outlook and/or Gmail/Google usage, and getting the most from affiliated smart phone and tablet devices. He has taught different versions of his time & e-mail management systems for many prominent organizations including Procter & Gamble, Michigan State University, University of California Berkeley, Westinghouse Electric Company, Volvo, The Global Business Travel Association, the Graduate Management Admissions Council, The University of Pittsburgh, Ohio State University, the Institute of Management Accountants, the National Association for Legal Career Professionals, the Michigan Association for Continuing Education & Training, and The Michigan, Indiana, Texas, and Iowa Societies of Association Executives for groups as small as five and as large as 550.

His speaking and training programs are consistently some of the highest-rated programs for the many conferences and clients he speaks for, including major conferences, Fortune 500 organizations, top universities, governmental agencies, and leading nonprofits -- basically anyone struggling to better manage their time, e-mail, smart phone/tablet devices, Google productivity apps, and/or Microsoft Outlook. (And he makes these topics fun) Why E-mail Training? It is an ROI no-brainer! Look at these statistics: The average office-based professional spends 2+ hours daily just reading, responding to, and administering e-mail. And many professionals in numerous industries and professions report spending half or more of each day just working their e-mail. Yet, only 1-3% have had formal training on tools like Outlook or Gmail.

Thus, they have learned on their own. And, because of this, they are reading each e-mail 3-7 times before handling it -- burning valuable time each and every time they look at it. They are also checking their inbox about 15 times per day, with about 25% checking 20 or more times per day! That is every few minutes! And they wonder why they are so distracted? They work their inbox first, and miss the most important tasks and client activities because they are so inbox focused -- not client, project and task-focused! And, because of the lack of specific software training in Outlook and Gmail, they are often missing opportunities to be significantly more efficient and effective with often-hidden yet highly useful tools within their software.

I fix this. I get people using e-mail the right way, and putting e-mail in its proper place. They find productivity, efficiency, prioritization, focus, and, most importantly, sanity when administering their inbox. They learn immediately usable tips, strategies, and techniques -- from uber-practical to highly strategic. And their inbox doesn’t own them anymore.

Proof? One major university client found the average attendee to my sessions saved 2+ hours per week. That is PER employee! (Extrapolated across all attendees, that worked out to being a 2000% first year ROI!) Another client had about 70 senior managers and directors attend my session. Two weeks later, they had about 50,000 less e-mails in their collective inboxes (and yes, their IT director was more than pleased!)

When you add it up, this program typically pays for itself in a matter of weeks! After that, the program goes into pure profit! This is why numerous clients have had me present this program 5 or more times to their staff. And numerous individuals have taken the program several times, just so they can continue improving and perfecting these techniques. Did I mention I make it fun too? That is why I do 75-100 client sessions each and every year. The sessions are humorous, fast-paced, and very engaging -- no one falls asleep in my sessions! I can help your organization, your staff, and your members too.

SNUG/PIN 2017 Startel/PTD Agenda

Lauren Garza – Speed-E’z Exchange has worked for Speed-E’z Exchange, a family business started by Jo Ann Browne, since 1997 - when she was 17. Beginning as an agent, I became Speed-E’z Operations manager in 2007. We started with a 5700 and joined the SNUG group in 1999, although I didn’t get involved with the organization until I was able to attend my first conference in 2004. I have attended as many conferences as I was able since then and I really enjoy meeting other people who have similar work issues and learning from them. I have served on the SNUG Board of Directors for the past two years, both as the Technical and Membership Chair- as well as the Secretary for both years of service, and would welcome the opportunity to continue serving SNUG members in any capacity needed.

Kelly Goodwin is the Vice President of Operations for MedCom Professional Services, Inc., / Keystone Answering Services based in Levittown, Pennsylvania. Kelly joined the MedCom / Keystone team as a Customer Service Agent while still in high school.

Kelly worked as a Customer Service Agent while attending Temple University, during which time she began to take on more responsibilities with MedCom / Keystone, moving into the role of Database Administrator. Upon receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics, Kelly was promoted to Operations Manager where she was able to apply the knowledge she had already gained in her previous roles.

In order to further her career, and continue her quest for knowledge, Kelly obtained her Master’s Degree in Business from LaSalle University, while serving as operations manager. Upon completion of her Master’s Degree, Kelly was promoted to Vice President of Operations, her current role.

Kelly is responsible for managing the daily operations at MedCom’s three office locations as well as ten remote agent locations. Kelly manages all client interaction, scheduling for all locations, and all human resources functions including recruiting, interviewing and hiring all staff. Kelly has been instrumental in developing, implementing and maintaining programs such as Agent Evaluation, Supervisor Evaluation, Call Monitoring and Quality Assurance.

Lucas Hakes started his career with Ace Answering Service in May of 2015 as their IT support. His job duties were mainly focused on maintaining their IT infrastructure, but His duties have since expanded drastically. Over the 2 years I have been at Ace, I have slowly been taking on more and more roles associated with technology and business. I provide 24/7/365 support for any technical issues that may arise, I provide insight into where we should advance ourselves when dealing with technology, and I have recently begun to focus on business development. I now attend several networking groups and chambers of business in order to help Ace branch out. I started at Ace shortly after graduating with my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science, and have just resumed classes to obtain my Masters in Business Administration (MBA). I attended my first SNUG

conference last year and fell in love with idea of everyone working together to help the Startel industry grow. If chosen for the Board of Directors, I hope to provide insight of possible areas to grow, help assist with current projects, and use this opportunity to grow with the industry.
