Would you like tosave time by being able to offer your clients the ability to schedule their own 15-minute initial resume review or full consultation appointments? Whether you are a solopreneur or have multiple employees and / or subcontractors for whom you'd like to have a system to schedule client consultations, having a system to manage your clients is invaluable!
No matter what your situation, I highly recommend GenBook!
I am so impressed with this program! I have been able to cut my "phone / email tag" by 50% through the use of this system.
So, what are the benefits to you? Well, you get to decide what times you want your calendar to show your availability. Further, when clients book an appointment, they can't see any other clients' names, so the information is secure.
In addition, it has so many other features, including
- The ability to capture credit cards to reduce no-shows
- A universal "BookNow!" button that can be used on your website, Facebook page, or in your email newsletter
- Unique Scheduling Webpage with customizable URL
- The ability to synchronize other calendars with Genbook
- 12-Month Advance Scheduling
- Capture of Client Data
- Notification of Client Bookings

If you would like to use the power of Twitter to brand your business, then MarketMeTweet is a great tool.
It has so many features, including the ability to enter and track multiple Twitter, Facebook, and Facebook Fan pages, brand your business by sending out Tweets with link to your own website, manage your replies, and schedule Tweets.
Reply Campaigns is a featurethat allows you to find users in your niche and start conversations, and it’s completely user-controlled to maintain the highest quality. Once you set up your items, the system creates links for each product, which can be added to your website. |

 Do you ever wonder if a client has received your emails or the draft documents you have sent? Are you attaching a "read" notification to your Outlook emails, only to have clients choose not to send you a receipt?
Well, there is a solution that will provide you with positive proof that your documents have been read!
ReadNotify.com is an inexpensive online solution that "silently" tracks the emails you send and is VERY easy to use. The system will tell you when, where, and how many times the client opened the email.
So, why is this so important?
If you have ever been the victim of a client credit card chargeback, even though you have sent the documents, you have to provide "proof" that the client received them to your credit card merchant processor. If you can't provide that proof (simple email communication is not enough because emails can be altered), the credit card companies will rule in the client's favor. In our business, that is lost revenue that cannot be regained, as we cannot "repossess" career documents.

 If you want to really track the visitors on your website,
drilling down to exactly how people fnd you, and then make
marketing decisions based upon that traffic, you should incorporate Hitslink onto your website. This has been an extremely valuable tool
for my business and I highly recommend it. It provides significantly
more information than some of the "free" programs.
You can try it risk-free for 30 days! |

 Tired of the boring, standard themes that WordPress offers?
Then Artisteer is the answer to making your WordPress Blog jump off the page! It has so many different themes AND you can choose your color scheme to ensure your branding is consistent. I have used the program and I love it!
I highly recommend this program! |

 Using
a shopping cart to process client orders online instantly
brings credibility to your business. 1Shoppingcart.com is very easy to use and provides you with the ability to
set up an "inventory" of your services. Once you set up
your items, the system creates links for each product, which
can be added to your website.
We can also assist you with the set-up of your shopping
cart as part of our technology consulting services. |

 Do
you accept credit cards from your clients? If not, I would
suggest signing up for a merchant account with
Charge.com. I have used them to secure merchant services
for both of my websites.
Basically they are a service that "competitively shops" for
the best merchant services program designed to meet your specific
needs. They are fast with approvals, and with some of their
merchant service providers, you don't even need to have a
business checking account! |
|
|
Do
you have an accounting system that will keep track of all
your expenses and customer sales? If not, I highly recommend
QuickBooks
Pro. It is easy to use and can provide you with different
reports to get a clear snapshot of where your business is
heading, which products sell the best, and your detailed expenses.
Also, if you use TurboTax, you can import all of your business
information from QuickBooks Pro directly into TurboTax, which
will save you hours on tax preparation! |

 Establish
an account for all of your email marketing and newsletter
requirements. Constant
Contact is easy to use and is very inexpensive. You can
send as many emails to your clients as you would like on a
monthly basis and the cost is the same. All you have to do
is add in your current client email addresses and you are
set to go!
Further, you can also put a newsletter sign-up box on your
website to capture potential customers. Prices start at $15
per month for adding in up to 500 of your client names / email
addresses. |

 If
you have ever had a computer crash, you know how devastating
it can be! However, with Data
Deposit Box, once you join and download their software
onto your computer, every time you "pause your mouse" your
files are automatically saved! You never have to "schedule"
back up time again!!
Further, you can access your files from any computer. So,
if you are on the road, you can immediately respond to previous
client update requests. Also, if your computer does crash,
it is VERY simple to download your client files on your new
hard drive. |

 Have
you started a blog? If not, you should. Blogs can give you
an added advantage over your competitors by providing you
with a platform to educate potential and existing clients.
Perhaps the easiest service to use is Typepad.
Once you have set up your blog, you can syndicate the blog
through an RSS feed. Syndicating your blog is like syndicating
a newspaper column; your reach can be vast in "cyber space." |

Would you like to be able to record audio or video for
use on your website? Do you conduct interview or career
coaching with your clients and want to be able to record
that session for further use by your clients or for legal
purposes? Do you conduct teleseminars with your clients?
Would you like to record "podcasts?"
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then I
highly recommend Audio
Acrobat.
It is so simple to use - all you need is a phone line with
three-way calling. You can start a "free" 30-day account
by clicking on the banner above. |

 Are
you on LinkedIn? If you have not established a presence on
LinkedIn, you definitely should! LinkedIn is a business networking
resource and a good source of clients. If you are on LinkedIn,
are you utilizing it to its full potential?
Whether you are new to LinkedIn or a "seasoned veteran," I
recommend the following book, "I'm
On LinkedIn, Now What?" written by Jason Alba, a
friend of mine. It provides step-by-step instructions on how
to get the most out of LinkedIn. Click on the picture to the
left and select "purchase E-Book" which allows you to download
the book to your computer to have instant access (and a reduced
price, at only $11.95). |

|
 If
you need a domain name or web hosting services at an affordable
price, I highly recommend GoDaddy.
They have 24/7 customer service, knowledgeable staff members,
and all the products you will need to start your business
off on the right foot!
Just click on the picture at the left to go straight to their
website. |

 Are
you tired of constantly receiving spam? I know that I was
about ready to pull my hair out! I was receiving about 100-150
spam emails per day and my actual clients / potential clients
were getting lost in the "sea of junk mail." Then
I discovered "Spam
Arrest" and the junk mail has stopped.
Click on the picture to your left to see a demonstration
of how their system works! Plus, they are offering a
30-day trial, so there is nothing to lose - except junk
mail! |
