🧰 I love me a good digital marketing tool.This week’s recommended tool is Streak for Gmail.
I love this tool! Mostly for the ability to get links to specific emails. I used to use it for workflow when I did various types of outreach and wanted to follow up. It has multiple ways to view emails, whether it's incoming support or sales. The free version used to let you save templates. That used to be my favorite part because of the batching capability.
Peek inside my toolbox for all my tools.
🎧 This week’s recommended podcast episode is You Don’t Need More Discipline, You Need More Trust on the Small Business Straight Talk podcast.
Talk about hitting the nail on the head, looking in a mirror all those cliches. If you think you've failed at improving discipline or if you keep moving your tasks to the next day, this is would be a good episode to check out.
