How do I get so much done? How are there enough hours in the day for me to perform, write material, market myself, run all the areas of my business and still have a very healthy social life?
My secrets are out. I use automation and you should too. I send out 12 different newsletters each and every month. I can tell you that I do not sit and write 3 unique newsletters each week. There just is not time. So here are a few services I use to manage my day:
1. Google Mail (www.gmail.com) This has a great feature called 'canned responses' so all of those things we type regularly such as 'this is how you book me' or 'I need this information so that I can give you a price for x' I have pre-written and can email them to the right person within a single click of the mouse. Think of the time I am saving here!!
2. Aweber (www.aweber.com) This system manages all of my newsletters. When someone subscribes and ubsubscribes I dont need to do a thing, the system takes care of it automatically. What's more, I can write all of my newsletters and then set the system to send them out at the correct times. So while I travel to a show or talk with a client, the syetem is sending out emails to the right people. This is possibly my TOP system that my business simply would not work without.
3. Call Partner (www.call-partner.co.uk) These guys answer the phones for me with my own company name, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They answer with my company name and then forward the message to me by email. They even filter calls from those annoying sales people who eat our time away. Whats even better still is that its a pay as you go service, no contract at all. I love this thing. In fact I've arranged for YOU to have a 2 week free trial if you enter the trial code 'KNDY' - try it for just 2 weeks at no cost and see how it works for you.
So saving time by automating the emails I reply with, my newsletters and by having someone answer my calls I am able to get on with running and developing the business.
More soon :)
