chatbots for lead generation in home based businesses

The Ultimate Guide To Using ChatBots as Sales and Lead Generators in 2020

First of all, let me tell you that chatbots have claimed my heart. Imagine you start promoting your business on Facebook and you have all these comments and messages coming in.  But you don’t have the time to answer them.  Seems like you need a secretary sitting on Facebook.  Sounds pretty dreamy, right?  That’s kind of what chatbots do, and it can dramatically increase your business.

2,536 Reasons To Love Evernote

Why 2,536? Because that’s the number of notes sitting inside my Evernote account right this minute. I love paper. I don’t care if it’s a handwritten shopping list, a physical book, or a newsletter from my son’s school. There’s something in me that just loves the safety of feeling that paper in my hands. Last year, I really started making the switch to be more digital. Every receipt that needs to be kept gets scanned into Evernote for my bookkeeper, Charyl. Every bill now comes to me electronically, and since it’s paid automatically, it gets popped into the note designated for Charyl. My taxes are even 100% virtual. She fills in the paperwork, I approve it and I get everything I need from my CRA login. But I still have a paper problem. Typed lists are awesome, but I like the way my brain feels when I can map something …
