The Tools of Opportunity

The Tools Small Business Owners Are Using

Tools—I love tools and am always trying out new tools. They’re all windows of opportunity. The small business owners whom I network with every day also use a lot of digital tools to support their businesses. Here are some of the tools that small business owners are using right now that are really helping them out.
 
Nextdoor: A social app that helps you to communicate with your neighbors. Social media provides a modern option for communicating and corresponding with others, and Nextdoor can help.

Zoom: Offers quality video, audio, and a wireless screen-sharing performance. We are using Zoom daily for networking, one-on-one web events and much more.

LinkedIn: A platform for anyone looking to navigate their professional lives, including small business owners, students, and job seekers

Blitzr: A brand new networking software which focuses on the one-on-one networking experience

Calendly: An online tool to schedule meetings for your potential clients at your convenience

Miro: The online collaborative whiteboarding platform that enables distributed teams to work effectively together, from brainstorming with digital sticky notes to planning and managing agile workflow

I’m curious to know what tools are really helping you out right now in your business. Just respond back to this email and thank you for sharing.

Don’t forget to join us at the two weekly Small Business Milwaukee networking events! Introduce yourself to other small business owners and talk about what is and isn’t working for you. Meet new people. Get great ideas.
 

I’m doing a lot of learning lately, from podcasts, books, on-line training sessions, you name it. A person should never stop learning and right now is a great time to add more to your skill sets.  

Google My Business. It tells people where are you are, but it does so much more. Google My Business comes up whenever someone searches your business. If you don’t have access to your account, I suggest you go and claim it. Once you have access, you can post regularly, answer any reviews and even add photos. It’s also great for your SEO. 

Would you be interested in some online digital marketing training? A Q&A session regarding social media? Some other topic? I’m eager to help small business owners.
