Tools that Help You Be More Business

Tools I Recommend

First, full disclosure: I am a representative or an affiliate for every company on this page. This means when you sign up with them, I receive a commission. Please understand, the commission is NOT the reason I chose any of these products, nor is it the reason I continue to promote them. The commission is simply a way for me to provide you with great tools I’ve tested while helping these good companies expand their business and provide for my own business in the process. It is literally a win-win-win for us all.

I either use for myself or in my clients’ business every tool on this page. They are being used in real world situations and proven themselves valuable.

Because of my affiliations with these companies, I am also able to bring to anyone who purchases under my partnership additional training either free or at a low-cost. I am also, on occassion, able to provide discounts and expanded customer service.

Email Marketing made easy

Constant Contact

Professional strength email marketing.

Constant Contact comes in two flavors:

Email Marketing is the tool I recommend for brand new businesses and businesses who are interested in a really easy to use, very effective one-to-many email marketing tool. This basic version is all you need to grow and serve your marketing list. Starts at $20/month for 500 contacts.

Email Plus is for small businesses who want to do more than just email marketing. This level expands to include basic email marketing automations (often called autoresponsders) as well as survey tools, automatic event RSVPs, and expanded integrations with ecommerce, Paypal and other tools. Starts at $45/month for 500 contacts.

Constant Contact or Keap, which should I choose?

If you have a sales process that hinges on one-to-one communications, choose Keap.

If you have a sales process that depends on one-to-many communications, choose Constant Contact.

If you have a sales process that depends on both, we need to talk to figure out which one would be the best fit for your business.
