Software I couldn’t live without

What software do you currently use in your business that if someone took away from you, it would significantly impact your marketing success?

Everything on my iPhone [Apps such as Instagram, Twitter, Hootsuite, Feedly]

What software don’t you use, but you’ve heard good things about, and you’ve intended to try at some point in the near future?

Onalytica [Influencer marketing tool]

My number 1 takeaway

What’s the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses?

Knowledge is power. For me, I’ve just turned 20. What gives me the right to talk about social selling? It’s only the things I’ve had to learn and find out from other people. In the same train of thought, what’s to stop anyone else learning about anything that they want. If you’re watching this or your’re listening, you’ve got the Internet. Use it. There’s a ridiculous amount of things on it. You could never hope to consume it all. My only hope is to at least try.
