Technology is great when it serves to promote the relationships that build your business. But technology evolves so quickly that it can be easy to miss great apps that might make everyday tasks a little easier. We invite you to check out tools that help improve workflow, save time, and make a difference in your daily life.
Schedule appointments more easily
Calendly(Opens in a new window) (free and paid) is a scheduling tool that helps coordinate meetings and appointments. It works like this: You send invitees a link that lets them view your available meeting times. They select a spot and it’s automatically added to your calendar. It can also allow you to propose questions about the meeting such as, “What’s your number one goal in meeting with me today?” Features of the paid version include: coordinating up to six of your calendars, team scheduling, customized email invitations and confirmations, and SMS notifications and reminders. You can try all the paid features free for 14 days.
Take notes without paper
The Goodnotes(Opens in a new window) app (paid, one-time fee less than $10) turns an iPad into digital paper. Use your stylus or finger to take handwritten notes on the iPad and the app will digitize them, allowing you to organize notes into a searchable repository. You can import files (such as PDFs) and annotate them, too. Organize the data into folders and files, and add images or typed text. It’s great for people who love to handwrite but who also want to be able to quickly search and reference all of their notes.
