Three Tools Recommended by an 11-Year-Old Success | Ari Krzyzek

Whatever type of business you run, there are basic tools and systems that can make running your business a more (pun intended) seamless process. In today’s episode of the MORE podcast, Ricardo is joined by solopreneur-turned-brand consultancy founder, Ari Krzyzek, to discuss three universally beneficial tools companies should utilize, regardless of industry. 

Entrepreneurs figure things out.

• They find a way to stay on track and figure out what they want to do.
• Ari and her partner have been in business for 11 years, now with 12 people in their company, and she collaborates and works alongside both her team and clients.
• Three tools Ari recommends: Salesmate.io, Plutio.com, and Flowmapp.com. Each of these apps interconnects and facilitates a complete sales cycle.

Salesmate.io:

• Salesmate is a CRM platform that houses lead generation information.
• What sets Salesmate apart from other CRM platforms? It connects with other systems. Ari’s website connects through Calendly, but there are limitless options a company can use.
• Salesmate connects with email and syncs emails to know when they open or click on email content. 

Flowmapp:

• Flowmapp is a UX tool that gives a visual map that tracks certain channels and touchpoints, showing what you can expect users to do on a particular page.
• By using Flowmapp, you ensure a user gains the right interactions during the sales cycle, especially automated steps that support the user’s sales journey.
• If you have a website, consider getting a free Flowmapp account (which is free for one project.)

Plutio:

• Plutio has a lot of features you can leverage. It is central to contain projects and tasks within your organization to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Integration beyond the three:

• Many day-to-day apps like calandly, Gmail, and other common tools can be integrated, which is pretty standard. 
• Zapier is an option for almost anything if you need to integrate certain softwares to accomplish certain things.
• Flowmapp offers a free account, Salesmate offers a 14-day trial, and Plutio is an affordable price for the value it provides.

How has she stayed in business for so long?

• It takes grit and resiliency, and Ari wouldn’t have gotten through 11 years in business without the support of her family and network.

Ari’s Book and Podcast Recommendations:

• Big Magic by Alicia Gilbert
• Building a Storybrand by Donald Miller
• 2Bobs Podcast with David Baker and Blair Enns
