Marketing Resources and Tools


Marketing Tools--wrench on a keyboard
The products and services included here are tools, resources and training that I recommend for the fastest, easiest ways to grow your business.

I have used, or am familiar with, all of the products and this list represents the cream of the crop for business tools.

And by the way, most of these links are affiliate links, which means that when you click on them and decide to buy, I get a commission for referring you.

Let's face it, we're all in business to make money.  Making affiliate commissions is one of the income streams that I strongly recommend for most businesses.  When I find a tool that I think will help businesses grow, I recommend it; if you like the recommendation, please use my affiliate link. 

I share my marketing resources because it is an important accelerator in business development.  Knowing which marketing resources I could trust, by seeing which tools and services others used, gave me the confidence to forge ahead.  I hope it is helpful for you too.  If you need more guidance, contact me for coaching.

SBI! Websites

SBI! is the premier site building tool and the only one I recommend.  Comprehensive, with all the tools you'll need included, SBI! focuses on building a successful business.  It teaches you how to build a website as you build it.

Customer Relationship & Autoresponder Tools

Oprius 

 Oprius is the ideal product for beginner to intermediate business owners for a full Customer Relationship Management system.  Oprius has an integrated opt-in autoresponder and lead capture page builder.  This means that you can capture lead information and have it directly captured into your CRM.

Oprius also has an easy to use relationship builder system.  You can put your lead in different plans and automatically schedule phone calls, emails, and direct mail pieces.  You will never lose contact with a lead again.

Oprius is inexpensive, easy to use and you won't outgrow it for a while.  Oprius is a great all-in-one system for streamlining your business.

Oprius - Customer Relationship Builder


Aweber - Email Autoresponder

Aweber is a pure autoresponder, and one of the best available.  It's not a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software like Oprius or Infusionsoft, it is purely for your autoresponder needs.

Aweber is very robust and flexible enough to handle any autoresponder needs.  It is also simple enough to get setup and active quickly.

The reason that I put Aweber at the top of my list for most entrepreneurs is the Information and Training they provide.  You'll learn best practices for your email marketing, not just how to set up autoresponders.  


Infusionsoft - try it free

Infusionsoft is a CRM for the advanced business owner.  This Platinum level CRM has full email capabilities, lead capture pages, extreme follow-up capabilities, ecommerce and affiliate modules.

This CRM is NOT for beginners, but ideal for serious business owners.  If you are growing a business, Infusionsoft can be the single source provider to help you get there - just keep adding modules as you need them.

Like I said, it's the Platinum level tool for serious direct response marketers (that's why it's the only one that Dan Kennedy recommends!)

I recommend testing out the free trial.  You won't outgrow this one ... ever.


Send Out Cards

Send Out Cards is an ideal add-on to your marketing plan.  It is direct mail, that get's opened.

Automated, online, and economical.  Now there is no excuse to NOT have a direct mail component to your marketing strategy.  A balanced marketing plan touches customers 'multiple times, multiple ways'

It's effective because it get's opened - everyone likes to get a card, so the open rate is significantly higher than nearly any other mail type.  Plus it's easy.

You can test it out on my account - send a card for Free to see how easy it is to use the system.  

Bonus:  Oprius and Send Out Cards will soon have an interface so they will work together seamlessly.  That means you don't even have to upload your address book to SOC!


Double Bonus:  Sign up for The Renegade Network Marketer and Send Out Cards through me and receive $200 Off my Weekly Coaching Package (6 pack).  
First, purchase The Renegade Network Marketer and Send Out Cards (Entrepreneur Package).
Next, contact me from my Coaching Page and tell me you are ready to claim your $200 DISCOUNT on Coaching.
