Business Resources

To work at your highest capacity, you must have the tools necessary to streamline and systemize your daily operations. It is our intent that, instead of just giving you a bunch of links to products we promote, that we share with you the tools and resources we use…what works and what doesn’t work (and why). This will help you in finding products and services that are right for you.

This will page will grow and always be a work in progress. Please check back often to see what we have added.

Anyone who attends networking events on a regular basis is faced with the time-consuming task of entering the business card data into their contact management program. Cardscan is fast, easy and best of all, it synchs with Outlook and Act, putting your new information where it needs to be. You can write notes, and assign categories as well. When my computer crashed last year, all of my contacts were safe on their web-based server. All I had to do was download it back to my repaired machine. The service also updates your database’s contact information by automatically sending out update requests and returning the information to you. It is worth every penny of its investment.

I used Act! Versions 2 & 4 many years ago and liked it but left it in favor of HTML email in Outlook. Well….I’m going back to Act! for its sophisticated follow-up capabilities. As I design a lead generation program (more on that later), I will assign different follow-up activities for each contact to be determined by where that contact is in the journey to becoming a client. I will be reporting progress with ACT as I learn about it. I have hired consultants to design both the lead generation program and to customize the Act! software program to accommodate the steps in that program. Stay tuned….

Staying in touch with a newsletter has been crucial to my business. I have used Constant Contact for about 3 years now. It is simple to use and provides you will a lot of good tracking information. Having a fast internet connection is a plus when working with it, however.

 

Calendars.net

This free resource provided the calendar for the networking events I made available to my readers. It is easy to use and the price was right! Even though it was a free service, there were no banner ads, pop-ups or other annoyances that come with free services. However, occasionally a reader would report difficulty in accessing the calendars. I would experience it sometimes as well.

Last year I thought I wanted to purchase a calendar program to host on my site. I could not find one that was as easy to use as this one. Providing hot links to the different events was essential as was ease of event entry. I could not find a calendar program that was better than this one. So instead of purchasing a program, I upgraded to the paid, premium site and all access issues have been resolved.
