Strap in for a wild ride in Episode 25 of the Get Automated Podcast hosted by Kelsey Bratcher. We are joined by old school automator Scott Athen, who began automating his law practice in the 90’s. Since then Scott has gone on to start another business Lomack Solutions and launch a podcast of his own “Make The Game”. He runs all three by himself, solo, zero staff. The only way he is able to do this is by using the power of automation. Kelsey and Scott touch on way too many topics to even begin to list, and this episode is a long one at just over two and a half hours. You owe it to yourself to download this week’s episode and grab the gems of knowledge that are scattered throughout Episode 25. Click the link already!

Pipedrive has got you covered. You can use Pipedive and Infusionsoft in tandem. There’s no reason why you can’t. If you’re not in love with Infusionsoft’s “opportunity manager” at this time pipedrive is a way better tool.
