You only need four tools to run your business
You only need four tools to run your business these days, including:
- Google Workspace
- Slack
- Stripe
- All-in-one business management, like Yottled
Communication and analytics
Companies everywhere use Gmail, analytics and document sharing. Because Google Workspace allows file sharing, it’s a great start for helping your team communicate. If you’re measuring traffic to your website or marketing campaigns, Google Analytics is a great tool for handling the basics. Even better, Google Meet and Hangouts is integrated into email seamlessly for free video conferencing and chat.
Team meetings and memos
Optionally, you’ll want a real-time internal communication tool for your team. Think Slack channels. This is also a community building tool you can leverage to build different private channels for communicating with clients. If you’re starting to build an audience for your product or service, consider using Slack as an affordable way to interact with your biggest fans and supporters with more privacy and two-way communication than on social media.
Payment processing
Stripe or a similar app allows you to accept payments and keep track of income. Some payment apps like Square are integrated into websites like Squarespace. But here’s where it can get even simpler: New scheduling and CRM platform Yottled offers users branded webpages with custom URLs, so if you want, you can host your entire business on the platform, and payment through Stripe is integrated. Shopify? Integrated. Hubspot? That, too. Pretty much anything can be integrated into Yottled, as it’s designed as an ultra-flexible platform for keeping track of content, events, client communications and payments.
Yottled was designed as an all in one platform for small business that helps you list content, host events and manage appointments while automating payments and your marketing.
Keep in touch with clients and focus on running your business, not building and messing around with painful website builders and plugins. Yottled takes care of everything for you.
