Automate to Amplify! We need to Amplify our Online Visibility which sometimes means making our behind the scene work day more efficient.
Specifically how to crush it in business by automating certain tasks. As entrepreneurs, we’re always hustling, but sometimes we get bogged down by routine tasks that we just don’t have time for.
That’s where automation comes in – it can save you time, and energy, and free you up to focus on the things that really matter.
In previous articles, I go over online marketing automation but this article is about behind the scenes.
Let’s take a look at five automations that can help take your business to the next level:
Recurring tasks:
Setting up an automation that reminds you to do certain tasks at specific times can be a game-changer.
Let’s say you run a consulting business and need to follow up with clients on a regular basis to ensure their satisfaction and address any issues that may arise.
Instead of manually setting reminders for yourself, you can set up an automation to do it for you. For instance, you can use a customer relationship management (CRM) tool or your email marketing platform to create a workflow that automatically sends follow-up emails to clients at predetermined intervals, such as 1 week, 1 month, or 3 months after completing a project.
This ensures that your clients feel taken care of and your business stays top of mind.
Or you can use a tool like Zapier or IFTTT to send a message to your team’s email, text message, or even a project about a task that needs to be done regularly.
Payment notifications:
Keeping track of payments can be a hassle, but with the right automation, it can be easy.
When a payment comes in, you’ll get an email notification or even a message to your phone – keeping you on top of your finances and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.
For successful payments, you can have that information pushed to an email account, which can help you keep track of your finances in real time.
For unsuccessful payments, you can set up to receive a notification and an email that sends to the client letting them know it’s failed and providing a new link to pay. This helps you keep track of payment status and follow up on any issues quickly.
Invoice organizer:
No one likes dealing with paperwork, but it’s a necessary part of running a business.
With the automation that saves invoices to your Google Drive, you can spend less time worrying about the little things and more time focusing on growth.
This can help you keep track of your expenses, simplify tax time, and reduce the risk of losing important documents.
It also prevents errors and ensures that you don’t miss any important deadlines.
Appointment scheduler:
Taking appointments can be a time-consuming process, but with automation, you can streamline the entire process for both you and your clients.
Your clients can book appointments online, be sent reminders, you can take payments and you’ll get notified when they do – so you can focus on delivering your amazing service.
Sending out invoices:
The last thing you want to do is spend hours creating and sending out invoices.
Use an automation that does it for you, by allowing you to create and send invoices automatically, and even send reminders when payment is due.
You’ll have more time to focus on the things that matter.
These automations can be a total game-changer for your business.
They’ll help you get more done in less time, and give you the space you need to really grow.
By automating these tasks, you can save time, reduce errors, and free up your time to focus on more important tasks.
With the right tools, you can streamline your business operations and make running your business more manageable.
