Key Takeaways:
"My second go-to app is Headliner. It's an app that you can get for free, and you can make audiograms with it." - April Meese
"Fiverr is an app where you can find somebody that will do like a video edit for $5. And then they have ways of upselling you in different packages. "- April Meese
"There are these new copywriting apps that I am a little obsessed with. Words are so powerful and really knowing the right sales psychology and the right things to say to kind of you know, bring someone in to help them stay on the page and read more, and you know, continue to stay on your website and want to book is so important. One of the most popular ones is called Jarvis." - April Meese
"An app that you can transcribe anything you've just taken a voicemail on. So even when I'm doing one on ones with my team, or even if I'm driving in the car, and I'm thinking about something, I'll just press the voice recording, which everybody does on an iPhone, I don't know about any drives, but you do have it on an iPhone voice recorded, I will actually speak into the voice recording. And then I can actually just send that to otter.ai. Because once I've downloaded that, and what it does, it transcribes it. So there I am, I've got all now written up, I don't need to start typing." - Karen Betts
"I love doing a Zoom consultation because you can share your screen on Zoom. So I've made like a really cute little presentation for area owners and for eyebrows and permanent makeup, which makes it flow and it looks super professional." - Karen Betts
"I just felt like the whole consultation was just way more professional once you did it on Zoom, and you just put a PowerPoint with it." - Vicky Martin
"My favorite apps that I use to make my life a little bit easier is called the PhiBrows app. I can really check symmetry, and it's something that I can show my clients if they say I think this one's higher. And I know it's not. I can turn the app around, and then the conversation is over. I have it right there in front of them. So it makes my drawing process quick and easy." - Dawna Mainard
