Seminar Co-ordinator Comment

"St. Louis IMA was looking for the perfect guest speaker/trainer who would fill our seats and make a lasting impression on our members. Bill Jelen was our man! 97% of those in attendance ranked Mr. Excel "Excellent" in all categories. Not only is Bill extremely knowledgeable, he has a special talent for making people laugh! His four hour seminars feel like 30 minutes. Bill has conducted three seminars for our group and we look forward to inviting him back. I HIGHLY recommend Bill Jelen for both "Power Tips & Tricks" as well as "Advanced Excel."

Testimonials for MrExcel from past IMA events

I love excel and have attended many seminars on the topic. I usually walk away with 2-3 good tips. This seminar was filled with useful tricks. One of the best ever.

Mr. Jelen had the most entertaining, educational seminar I've ever attended. Usually, seminars tend to make folks nod off. This seminar, with its smaller class size and the dynamic Bill Jelen kept folks fully engaged. What a great value, too...CPEs, lunch and a great book(s)! Thank you, Mr. Jelen and IMA!

The seminar was packed with valuable information. So many shortcuts/time saving examples that any company who sent someone to the seminar is bound to get an immediate return on their investment

I thought it would have been a dry and technical session but the day flew by with Bill's knowledge and use of humor.

He was an excellent presenter, especially on a subject that is normally boring, but he kept me engaged all day.

One of the very best training seminars I have ever attended. Very well balanced and presented. Lots of great tips for heavy excel users.

I am a software applications trainer. I knew a lot of what was covered but gain a lot of additional information to help in my presentations.

Very personable speaker, eager to answer all questions. Good examples to follow. Great books for supplementing the program. I would attend other seminars by this speaker.

Bill Jelen was an awesome presenter.... totally worth the trip.

Workshop was great. Picked up quite a few tips to use. Bill was very entertaining while providing valuable information. The morning session was excellent.

Mr. Jelen was a very knowledgeable speaker. He was funny and very informative. The class was fast paced, yet he took time to answer questions. A good value!

The presentation was fantastic! I am a return attendee and I still got my money's worth.
