There is no doubt that having systems in place makes your business run smoothly and efficiently. When your systems integrate with one another, things become optimal. Having a business where the systems talk to one another is firing on all cylinders.

Many of today’s apps and supports for business management are designed to integrate with larger platforms, further enhancing their usefulness. Email programs that interface with sales and lead generating platforms make it easy to capture contacts and sell directly to targeted customers. Memberships sites that can be managed remotely or in conjunction with other platforms makes delivering content to many people at once effortless.

There are many apps and platforms out there that integrate with each other and streamline your business. Let’s look at a few:

1. LeadPages: This is a platform that can do many things to help you grow your business and share great content. From creating sales pages to hosting webinars, Leadpages comes with a ton of features perfect for capturing interest and growing your list. Leadpages talks with your email marketing software, which makes it easier to contact your customers and your leads directly. The integration of these two systems streamlines the sale process.
2. Canva and PicMonkey: These online tools are great for creating images for blogs, social media, and other marketing material for your business. They have templates and examples perfect to help you create just what you need. Canva and Picmonkey both talk with your social media platforms. After completing your materials, you can easily upload them to social media with one click online. You can also save the work to your computer for continuous use or archive for a later date.
3. AWeber: AWeber is one of many email marketing platforms available to connect with and consistently communicate with your tribe. This tool, and others like it, make it possible to send targeted emails to individuals and groups with specific messages that result in sales.
