Time indeed fly so fast! 2015 has passed by with a bang! Since I know many of you will agree that there are a lot of things yet to be discovered, I’ve made a list of my most favorite 2015 apps. I have loved each one of them and I’m sure you’re going to love them too! Let’s get started, shall we?   Game changers for your business are the top 2!
​
1.     PASSWORD KEEPERS
If you are writing your passwords down on a spreadsheet, in Outllook, on notes, this app is for you.  I did the happy dance when I discovered how amazing it is.    I would be lost without it!  I have it on my desktop and all my wireless devices. 
  • Roboform

2.   GOOGLE APPS FOR BUSINESS

Tired of entering data twice on contacts and calendar?  Tired of deleting emails off multiple platforms?   Scared your computer will crash and all your precious files will be gone?  Enter Google!

Storage has been an integral part of my life! And these storage apps made me continuously hit save without bothering to check if I’m running low on storage. Life’s never been this worry-free. The convenience of having access to my files whenever and wherever I need them makes total sense in this mobile wrld we now live in.  And don't you live by your email account?  Stop using shaw, telus, gmail and emails like that and treat your business like a business.   Best thing I EVER did and what I specialize.  Take the leap and:

  • Get GOOGLE APPS FOR BUSINESS. Get a coupon code of 20% off for a year if you want to migrate over with my help. Click here to contact me.
 
3.       EMAIL APP (FREE UP YOUR INBOX)
Ever received annoying emails from someone every 30 minutes or have been receiving newsletters and can’t seem to unsubscribe? Don’t let your important emails be drowned and forgotten! I’ve been using these two apps to clear out my emails. This works perfect in organizing and un-cluttering my inbox with unwanted and unnecessary emails.

  • Sanebox – Keep your inbox at its cleanest state and avoid drowning in unnecessary emails.
  • UnrollMe – This app will make sure your inbox is tidy by putting an end newsletter hell.
 
4.       DUPLICATE CONTACTS REMOVER
Time is indeed gold. Have you ever had that occasion when you wasted a huge deal of time trying to figure out which of your contacts is which? Worry no more with Scrubly. This app allows you to be in control every single time. It resolves conflicts by steering clear of duplicate contacts, it merges compatible contacts and it boasts of updating your contacts with information from Twitter. What’s even greater is even if you have already allowed a change; you can still revert to your original data as if nothing happened.
 

5.       EXCEL TRAINING
Let’s get you on your feet and up-to-speed with tips and tricks designed to help you get the most out of Excel. I have partnered with an expert in EXCEL to give all my clients over 70% off his excellent course on EXCEL.  Let’s get you booked. Click here.

6.       DOCUMENT SIGNING
This is absolutely one of my favorite apps. In this world of emerging technology, we still need to protect both our business and our clients from any illegal act. To make everything legally binding, we need to make sure each contract/document is signed right where it needs to be. These apps make wonderful partners in making this a success.
  • AUTHENTISIGN – With its tamper proof security and integration to Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive, any documents can now be created and legally signed from any device.
  • DOCUSIGN – Makes your life easier by letting you send and sign documents as soon as possible.
 
7.       CRM (Customer Relationship Management) FOR REALTORS
CRMs are valuable for my business and I’m sure it’ll be in yours too! Why? It’s simple: Ask yourself this question: How do you keep in touch with your buyers, sellers and prospects at the moment?
If you feel you’re not doing a good job with it, and then do you think it would it be great if you could automate this process but they don't know what’s happening behind-the-scenes? If your answer is yes then let me tell you that by subscribing, you can even touch base with your clients for 10 years after they have bought their home! How does that sound?
  • Realty Juggler is simple, friendly and they offer a 90 Day FREE trial.   Click this link and get 5 MONTHS free: Check them out

8.       NEWSLETTER SERVICES

I have always loved the idea of creating campaigns. And I am worry-free because once I setup my clients to receive newsletters, I can simply forget and let these apps do the trick for me. If you need to create an effective email marketing campaign, then these two time-tested apps will surely give you a lasting impression!
  • Mailchimp (FREE) – The feature that I love the most is how it tests your campaign with its Delivery Doctor. Think of it as ensuring that your emails don’t get red flags or automatically gets sent to the recipient’s spam folder.
  •  BombBomb - Love this tool!  In all our testing and talking to clients who use it, it definitely increased open rates and gives you an upper hand when sending emails to clients.  You will look very techy!  

 9.   COPY A SCREEN  ON YOUR COMPUTER
You’re every move can now be captured instantly. This works extremely great for me whenever I do video sessions or I just need to screen capture anything in a breeze. It works like magic! Depending on your OS, you can choose which of the following apps will give you the quickest way to get what you need right when they happen.
  • For Windows 7 or 8 Operating System, it comes with Snagit. 
  • Jing – Free and awesome.  Does images and short videos.
  • Grab is free on a MAC
 
10.   PHOTO EDITING
Want stunning photos to upload whenever? I am thrilled to share with you these apps that just makes my life so much easier!
  • PicMonkey – I use this all the time.  You can easily add borders, make a zombie, remove wrinkles (I like this feature so much! haha), you can also put a birthday hat on, etc. You can make changes you never thought were as swift and easy!
  • Share as image  – I use this all the time as well! My most favorite part is my ability to create, edit and share viral images with my own branding so I can make it my own. You can also copy texts and instantly make that share to your social media sites: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest plus it works with any browsers, too! Imagine the amount of connections you’ll get.
  • PicRedirect – This redirects a photo on Facebook to a website!  Can you see how handy this would be for listings? Don’t miss out on this exciting way of increasing your sales.
