Project Management Tools

Business Tools For You

Project management tools allow for easy planning of tasks for on-time completion. If you work on multiple projects at once in your business, managing them without the help of a software program can be a complicated process

. Using project management software enables you to easily track all your projects by monitoring their performance allowing for efficient task management. For you to enjoy a seamless workflow in your business, a project management tool is vital.

Great examples are:

  • HubSpot
  • Salesmate 
  • Zoho

Crowd Funding

To start up a business requires capital that not every entrepreneur has access to, hence introducing crowdfunding tools. Crowdfunding tools provide you with a platform where you can virtually present to customers all your business prospects or product without it having to be in existence. Once various investors show interest in your product, you can get capital to start your business and deliver it to other customers. It is a hugely successful avenue for entrepreneurs who have an innovative idea to survey before launching the product. Some of the crowdfunding tools commonly used are Kickstarter and Indiegogo. 

Survey Tools

An ideal way to better your services in a business is through feedback from your customers. It can be done effectively through a one-on-one interview with customers or online surveys. Using a survey, you can easily reach out to a larger mass and get instant feedback, unlike having customer interviews. The use of survey tools in the business allows for instant feedback and quicker reaction when implementing any suggestions. 

There are different survey tools available in Ireland, such as SurveyMonkey, Google forms, Survey gizmo, and Zoomerang. Choose the one that works best for you and find out what people think about your business or what products you need to introduce next.

Some of these tools may benefit your business, while otherwise may not be worth the investment. It’s important to always research tools and strategies for your business.
