Favorite Resources for Busy Owners, Sales Leaders and Salespeople

Remember the “Easy Button” by Staples, Inc. that gained popularity a few years ago? They sell itfor $6.99 – its too bad that it does not have the magical powers that you see in their ads. I am constantly looking for ways to get back time in my day and make those days more productive. I would suspect you do the same and wanted to share a list I have created of helpful apps and programs: 

Waze- Traffic avoider 

Rapportive - Shows profile info on people you're emailing and allows you to connect with them on LinkedIN quickly. 

Brainwave 32 Binural Programs- I'm easily distracted by shiny objects and SOUND! White noise generator with fancy subliminal brain wave stuff (I like it for the ambient noise).

Heard- Buffers the last 60 seconds of audio from the microphone and allows you to save only the good stuff of a conversation. 

Rev Recorder - Allows you to dictate any message and it will be properly transcribed at $1 a minute. Great for leaving a meeting and lets you quickly capture the notes for your CRM. Yes, there is a voice app on many phones, but it isn't always accurate. 

Salesforce - Say no more. 

Audible - Listen to books while you're driving, not stupid radio.  

[Or let us hook you up with some awesome Sandler Training sales tips available on audio CD's.]

Pomodoro - A countdown clock using the Pomodoro 25 minute focus time process. 

Thumbtack and Task Rabbit - Very reasonable; help get others to run errands for you that are beneath your pay grade (one client just used it to move a treadmill out of an old house they sold). 

Evernote - Save your notes and pictures in one place. Great tool! 

Remember the milk - Great to do list app. 

My Fitness Pal - Track your eating and exercise. 

Fooducate - Barcode scan any food to see it's "healthy" rating...be prepared to be surprised! 

Certainly you have run across some helpful resources as well that should be added to this list. Leave a comment if you have more suggestions for us.
