Taking the Headache Out of Your Marketing. Automatically.
PRowl Communicator            October 23, 2019
Hey ,
I hit a nerve with our Organized Chaos topic last week. WOW.

Tons of engagement from all of you. Thank you... Small businesses especially solopreneurs are always running ragged in their efforts to keep up with all that needs to be done. As I mentioned last week, I do it through our daily to do list -- it helps keep me focused all day. But that is not the only thing I do..

The to do list is #1. #2 is I use a CRM with automated reminders, tasks and even templates for letters I send out on a regular basis. I use an appointment calendar that gives my customers and leads access to my calendar to eliminate the guess work and lag time in response trying to set up appointments and so much more. It saves me hours of work each week. And, #3, I have a virtual assistant who helps with the day to day tasks... (Stephanie has hours available if interested - contact her).


Enjoy this week's information...

5 Reasons Mission Statements (Still) Matter for Startups

Every successful startup has a clear goal or vision as to what they want to accomplish. While cynics would say that the ultimate mission of any business is making money, the most successful startups generally have a larger sense of purpose. And the best way to express that aspiration is with a well-written mission statement that establishes your company’s core values and highlight its goals, no matter what niche you might be working in.
