If time is money, then wouldn’t optimizing your time lead to maximizing your money? While the passion of small business owners goes far beyond financial matters, any and every company could benefit from saving costly time here and there. Time wasted adds up, and chances are, you’re already pretty swamped on a day-to-day basis as it is. When it comes to being an entrepreneur, they say it’s a 7-day-a-week, around-the-clock job, and, well, that’s a pretty valid statement. Fortunately, because the majority of entrepreneurs love what they do and work hard to launch a business that they truly believe in, the sacrifices and consistent hard work are more than worth it.

Now, as rewarding as hard entrepreneurial work can be, wouldn’t it be nice to automate some processes let technology save you some time?

If you’re not in the know about some of the best software programs to help you run and organize your company, the asset-based lending experts here at The Commercial Finance Group are going to offer a run-down of some of these programs below.

Insightly CRM

Though nearly any tech-savvy small business owner knows this, CRM stands for “Customer Relationship Management.” CRM has evolved quite a bit in recent years, offering more than just recording contact information. With Insightly, you can follow your selected contacts on social media or even scan your business cards right into your CRM. This tool also helps you make smart decisions about marketing, especially in terms of getting to know your target customers and understanding what they do and do not like. By leveraging this data, you can adjust your products and services accordingly to match your target market.
