Blog: Paper And Information Management
Do you Jott? No? Well you should try it!
What? You have never heard of Jott? Well, I had not either until about a month ago. Now I love it! www.jott.com
Imagine a system that you can call and it will type for you!
Imagine a system that you can call and it will remind you of things you need to do, or that others need to do.
Would you rather blog to the phone while you are waiting at the doctor's office? Now you can!
Jott to Yourself
Jott a Reminder
Jott to Someone Else
Jott to a Group
Jott to a Folder
Jott to a Link
Jott is a relatively new service that is FREE! You sign up on the internet www.jott.com and then it is as simple as a phone call. You call a toll-free number, tell the system who you would like to jott, leave your message and hang up. They have a really impressive system set up where people are transcribing your message but have no way to tell it is from you. Their computer systems tie everything back in the right place. (If you want the technical details, they have it all laid out on their site.)
Have you ever been sitting somewhere with no way to write, but you had your phone? I have! Try rush hour traffic in Chicago – no driving and LOTS of sitting. It is usually during those times that I think of something that I do not want to forget. Now, I have my speed dial set to Jott and I leave myself a reminder.
Have you ever been in a meeting with a few minutes for a break and no time for a long conversation with co-workers? You want to give them an update, or delegate tasks, but no time for multiple calls. Jott the group!
Ever get out of a client meeting and want a quick way to record your hours billed, and a few details of the activities? Jot it!
The site has loads of other ways that you can use this service to help you save time and energy! This tool is great for busy executives all the way to busy stay-at-home moms. It is like having your own administrative assistant by your side at all times.
Try it out and then tell me what you think! I'd love to hear how you use Jott.
To your success!
Stephanie

- The Definitive Guide to Google AdWords
Google has a system that makes it possible, for the first time in the history of the world, to deposit five bucks, write a couple of ads, and instantly get access to over 100 million people - in less than 10 minutes. It's called Google AdWords and it's hot. In fact it may be the first and best thing to do to get traffic to your site. But it's not always as easy as I just made it sound - AdWords has some nuances, and most people have a rough time at first. Well my colleague Perry Marshall has written a very helpful e-course called "5 days to success with Google AdWords" and there's no charge for it.
- The Definitive Guide to Writing & Promoting White Papers
If you sell any kind of complex service, technology or sophisticated product, a White Paper is the best way to educate your customers about that technology. You can use a white paper to build your credibility, get free exposure in the press, attract new customers, and drive new technology into change-resistant, conservative markets. Most white papers are either too technical (boring) or too commercial (thin and cheesy) - but Perry Marshall has written a guide that shows you how to strike the perfect balance. But what's most important of all, though, is promoting and publicizing your white paper - because the best white paper in the world is no good unless somebody reads it!
- Guerilla Marketing
Most sales people spend all day dialing for dollars, chasing prospects who are mentally if not physically backing away from them, and they waste most of their time chasing deals instead of closing them. At the same time, most companies spend all kinds of money on advertising and don't get nearly enough bang for their buck. Perry Marshall's "Guerilla Marketing for Hi-Tech Sales People" is an information-packed audio CD that discusses 21 principles that you can use to eliminate cold prospecting and wasted advertising dollars in today's fiercely competitive B2B marketplace.

Despite the promise of the paperless office, most of us are mired in the stuff—and deluged with electronic information as well.
