We love a good tool to help us be more efficient and make life easier – BIG bonus points if it’s free, too. The tool we’re talking about on today’s episode is one that we’re on basically all day, every day and we realised that we’ve never really given it as much of a spotlight as we should have done.
That tool is… *drumroll*… Slack! If you’re thinking, “is that it?!” – you need to listen to this episode. Slack is so much more than just a team communication tool. It’s absolutely perfect for freelancers and is going to save you so much time and energy which instead you can put towards actually delivering for your clients!
In this episode, we’re sharing all of our favourite Slack features (there’s so much more than just messages), ideas of how you can use it with your clients, and also a really fun bit – automations! This is where Slack becomes a real time saver and helps you provide a better service!
So if we’ve piqued your interest, tune in now!
In this episode, we’re chatting about:
- Why we love Slack and use it almost all day, every day!
- Our favourite Slack features and how they work
- Ideas of how you can use Slack with your clients – even without having a team behind you
- How we’re going to be integrating Slack into the toolkit
