My Most Valuable Tools

ClickFunnels – Sales Funnel Builder

I’ve been using ClickFunnels since 2015, for leads and sales.

ClickFunnels Is A Website And Sales Funnel Builder For Entrepreneurs. ClickFunnels was created so that entrepreneurs like you, who aren’t programmers and who don’t know how to code, can easily build beautiful pages inside of a sales funnel, to grow your company online!

WordPress – Website Builder Platform

I’ve been using WordPress since 2007, it’s the #1 free platform for building websites.

WordPress gives you everything you need to create anything you want. It’s flexible, secure, and powerful. Just like you want your business to be. Whether you want to share your ideas, start a business, or run a store, you can do it all on WordPress.

WP Engine – #1 Website Hosting Platform

WP Engine has been my hosting provider since 2009!

WP Engine takes the guesswork and stress out of maintaining your website with managed WordPress hosting. From monitoring and security to server upgrades and troubleshooting. WP Engine removes the hassle and headache from hosting a website. Our superior support team helps customers along every step of the way.

Slack – Communication Platform

The #1 solution for fixing communication problems, internally and externally.

Slack is where work flows. It’s where the people you need, the information you share, and the tools you use come together to get things done. The smart alternative to email. Great for internal use but also for connecting with clients and customers.

Stripe – Payment Processing

My go to solution for getting paid. I ditched PayPal 5 years ago!

Online payment processing for businesses doing business online and offline. Easily integrate with your website (I recommend integrating with WP Simple Pay). Accept credit cards, manage billing, send money, run a marketplace all with a single platform.

Freshbooks – Accounting Software

What I use for managing projects, tracking time, and sending invoices.

The best cloud based small business accounting software. Send invoices, track time, manage receipts, expenses, and accept credit cards. Integrates with stripe.com and will help you get paid faster.

MailerLite – Email Marketing

My first recommendation for anyone interested in using email to grow their business.
