Here are 6 great tools that you should take a look at. Some are necessities, some are just cool, some are both. All are FREE.
Backpack: Backpack is a great free resource that allows you to organize your files, create a calendar, including reminders that will be emailed to you, set up files about anything, including upcoming meetings and events, schedule events, and much more. The best part is not only can you access all of the features from any computer, but reminders for events, meetings and ‘to do’ items can be sent to your mobile phone as text messages. In addition, you can share your information with colleagues, friends, clients, prospects, your manager, or anyone or any group you desire.
Remember Me: Remember Me allows you to connect with prospects and clients via texting on your mobile phone. You can send your business card, let the prospect browse your products and services, set up custom greetings, add you to their LinkedIn account, and more. Not only that, your prospect can send their business card back to you which is automatically inserted into your CRM, Outlook, or address book. Yep, it’s free.
FreeConferenceCall.com: Free Conference Call allows you to hook up to 96 participants on a conference call free. Well, almost free-each participant has to pay long-distance charges by their service provider, but even that typically is only a couple of dollars at most. You can record calls of up to six hours free of charge and then distribute those recordings via email, RSS, download as a WAV file, or access it through their recording call in line. There is no limit on the number of conferences you have. Have more than 96 participants? No problem-but it isn’t free. You can have up to 250 callers at a time using an 800 at a cost of 6 cents per minute per caller, or up to 200 callers on their standard call in line for $99 per month.
CutePDF: Everyone needs a PDF writer. Some are expensive, some are free. CutePDF is free and has some great features such as no watermarks and no pop-up ads. A great basic PDF writer. If you need a few more advanced features such as writing booklets, combining PDF files, and such, there is a PRO version for just $49.95.
Google Notebook: Allows you to clip notes, images, links from the Internet and save them without leaving the site. You can access them from any computer or your cell phone and send and share them with others. You can have multiple files, share all or parts of them, save and store as much as you want and organize it any way you want.
Sticky Notes: Now you can have sticky notes on your desktop. Reminders, hot ideas, to do lists, or anything you want to remember can be posted in a sticky note to your desktop. You can even print them or send them via email. You can save them, hide them, show them, roll them, show only the heading, and lots more. Get rid of all of these sticky notes on your desk and put them on your desktop. Sure, you’re likely not remember them, but when you do need them, you’ll know where they are.
Just wanted to say HI. I found your blog a few days ago on Technorati and have been reading it over the past few days.
