Pro Tips
Shortened URLs are super important if you’re using SMS because you don’t need to send somebody a haggard ass 70 or 75 hundred character URL. You’re doing a shortened URL.

I do use Chrome because you can log in on one machine like on my desktop. I have a chrome user for Kelsey@Hired Gun Solutions.com. You can also do the same thing in Chrome on an iPad. So you would have access to all your bookmarks, all your login information, your sessions, passwords, all the stuff. You are able to transport that to any device that you log into. So that’s one of the main benefits of Chrome and G-Suite Combo, is that you can get transportability between all of your devices so I could literally move to any machine login to my Chrome account and be able to work just like I would be if I was at home.

Quotes
As long as I don’t feel like I’m being taken advantage of, I will talk to somebody for up to an hour for free sometimes just because I enjoy it. It might be helpful, it leads to a sale sometimes not but often. I find that it’s better to give of myself in that way.

A normal person you could go in and get your head wrapped around Twilio Studio and you can build some really powerful phone tools. Inbound and outbound calls how those interact, you can build phone trees, or you can have them query your database and run automation off all of that.

If you have a marketing agency or you serve clients, to some extent AirTable will let you build the framework that you could later automate further with something like Zoho Creator. Actually, if you’re going to prototype something like you have a crazy idea that you want to implement your business prototype it with AirTable and Zapier. Just to get the basics of it rolling and you’ve invested nothing but a little bit of time. When I say little bit…like a couple of hours.
