Apps That Can Make Business Easy

Here are a few apps that I find to be highly favorable and useful for any businessperson…

CardMunch (it is a free app available to LinkedIn members and it is for iPhone only) 

It is a way to keep people’s information in your phone instead of having a bunch of business cards on your desk or in your rolodex. You take a photo of the business cards and it gives you the ability to link up with them on the professional side via LinkedIn.  I have not used it yet but I will be downloading tonight will tell you what I think one I give it a test run for a few days.

Square (iPhone, iPad, and Android)

It is a way to accept noncash payments using a card reader with a charge of 2.75% for each purchase swiped or a flat fee of $270 a month. The reader is free.  The cool thing about this product is Starbucks is one of the companies that have allowed for Square Wallet payments, which is where your money is linked to your bank information.  Square says it has over 2 million users. I am currently using Payanywhere via my iPhone but I have heard nothing but good things about Square.

Payanywhere (iPhone, iPad, and Android)

It is close to Square accept for it does not charge a flat monthly rate it is simply the 2.75% on each transaction.  This allows you to move finances from the account on payanywhere to your bank. I liked the setup process it took less than 2 weeks to get everything and setup of the account was very easy.

MyCounstlant (iPad, iPhone, and Android)

If you’re a direct sales consultant for any company this is a great tool to help you total your customers cost while being able to add in discounts and shipping while still putting taxes into the program properly.  The cost is less than $5.00 but it can cost you from making major mistakes when it comes to being paid.  It’s a god sent and I depend on it heavily.

Facebook Page Manager (android, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch)

If you have a personal Facebook profile as well as a profile for your business this is a great tool because it allows you to ensure the right information is being posted in the right places. It is a free program as well. It is also giving you very important statics about your visits as well as the opportunity to make offers.

QR Readers (iPhone, iPad, and Android)

You never know when you may need to scan a QR to get information it’s a great tools as more and more companies begin to use QR barcodes.

SQumible (iPhone & Android)

This is a program built by a close friend of mine Marlon Brown the great thing about this program is you can tell it what you’re wanting, it will make a recommendation, and if there is any coupons offer you the coupons as well.  I adore this program and use it often.

Twitter (all devices)

Twitter is a great program because as a business you want to ensure your using all social mediums to get your name out there.

Dedication is Determination!
