Undoubtedly, this century is the age of web tools for businesses. The way information technology is advancing, web tools are becoming the most essential part of any business, large or small. The Best Web Tools for Business Development are:
Networking and businesses today go hand in hand. However, networking face to face is not always possible, but luckily, we have online mediums to network across the world. Well, there are many networking sites online which can be used for business development. One such platform is LinkedIn, an international, business-oriented network with 500+ million users in 200 countries and territories. All you have to do is create your profile there and add connections to grow your network. Also, you have the prerogative to join groups or communities based on your interest and groups’ relevance.
Another international platform for making connections and networking. Viadeo has more than 65 million of entrepreneurs and startups from every part of the world. Again, all you need to do is register yourself by filling your personal and work-related details on the platform to connect with people. The best part is, at Viadeo, you can exchange personal and professional “business cards”with the other Viadeo users.
Once you have connections and networks, the next you do is contact them. Yes, it is highly important that you remain connected with your network. You never know which of your connection is interested in your products/services. Contacting people via email seems a little old fashioned and time-taking these days, and people usually don't bother to even check every one of their e-mails. Worry not! We have other smart mediums to do what needs to be done. Rapportive is going to help you here. How, you ask?
Rapportive provides you with information about the person you are writing to, such as theirname, their position etc. Basically, Rapportive fetches data from LinkedIn and shows you the profile of the person, and then you can reach them easily.
Useful when you only know the name and the company of the person but no contact info. Without those, you cannot reach that person, of course. Worry Not! Name2email is here to help you. All you have to do is enter the name and company’s domain into a special field, and the app will automatically generate all possible emails for you. Check all the emails and choose the one with the person’s name. That's all you need to do, and the job is done! It’s a wonderful app, because without contact details, a connection is impossible. Hover your mouse over the line with the e-mails and choose the one with a pop-up showing the person's name.
This app is meant to schedule your meetings, as it will show any time slot when you’re available for meetings or calls. It is able to synchronize with Google, Microsoft Outlook, and iCalendar and automatically detects time zones, preventing you from booking two meetings for the same slot.
Use Evernote for taking and organizing notes, task lists, and archiving. It is a software application for iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows, and macOS. It allows its users to create notes, which can be formatted text, photographs, web pages, voice memos, or handwritten “ink” notes,etc. Also, notes on Evernote can have file attachments, and can be sorted into notebooks, annotated, tagged, searched, edited, and exported.
To pan out….
There are many web tools such as these that you can use for simplifying your work and expanding your business according to your ease and requirements.
