Services we Recommend

Autoresponder System

MailChimp has 100's of design templates to help you design email newsletters, it integrates with social networks so you can share your messages, it also integrates with many CRM systems and other online packages and it tracks all your results! It's free for the first 2,000 subscribers and has lots of video's to help you learn how to use it.  But aside from all these features, we like it because the Monkey makes us laugh!

CRM System

Capsule CRM makes doing business easy! You simply add all your contacts and diarise tasks against them, upload emails, attach notes, conversations, docs and files into their record so all history is immediately to hand.  

You can also track your 'sales pipeline' where you track bids, proposals and other opportunities and can see all your potential sales in one place.  We highly recommend this easy to use CRM system.

Task Sharing Software

Mindjet Connect is the ultimate task sharing tool (at least, when researching the market we couldn't find a better one!) and makes working on team / individual projects easy.  You create tasks and can sync them with your google calendar, allocate them against other team members and, very cleverly, the system prioritises your tasks in order of most importance, so you know that if you start at the top of your list you are working on the most important task.  It has a range of other features and makes working within a team easy - no more "have you done X yet"!

Online Storage

Access all your files, from wherever you are in the world.  With Dropbox you can have all your files on your computer, laptop, phone and handheld and when you edit a file or save a new file it is updated to the latest version on all your devices.  You can even access when offline and the new files will sync when you have a connection again.  Never be out of the office and wish you had access to a particular file again!

Online Surveys

Create online surveys or polls with SurveyMonkey, a very simple to use package. You could survey your clients, or prospective clients or employees through emails, social media or your website.  Survey's can be custom branded and responses are automatically collated so you don't need to create any whizzy formula's in Excel to collate your data.

Outsourcing to Professionals

We firmly believe that small business owners should outsource as much as they possibly can so that they can concentrate on the important stuff - like growing the business!  So where can you find professional freelancers? Upwork!

Elance has 1,000s of freelancers around the world who will 'bid' to complete any project for you, from designing a flyer to writing an article.  You simply select the bidder who you feel will do the best job based on their references, samples of previous work etc and away you go.  We've used it many times and always had great results.
