First Touch - Why Should I Care About This?

It is a time to take the manual mindset out…and add some automation into your life.

Imagine having a suite of tools running silently in the background, automating the repetitive tasks that drain your time, providing real-time data insights, and seamlessly integrating with your CRMand sales platforms.

These Google Chrome extensions are not mere add-ons; they’re your silent partners, the ones that free up your time so you can focus on what truly matters: growing your business.

Transform your workflow into a well-oiled machine that never sleeps. What do I look for?

• Ease of use

• Utility

• Features

• Security and Reliability

• Speed (how fast does it run in the background?)

Second Touch - Turn Up the Volume on Value

Growing your business means leveraging every advantage at your disposal. These Chrome extensions do just that: Here are a few I recommend:

There are many more, but these are the ones that I rely on the most. You can have them run in the background, work in Microsoft Word, review a document for you if you need a second set of eyes, and the list goes on.

Third Touch - Show Your Skills

When you optimize your digital toolbox, you’re not merely tweaking your routine—you’re reinventing your competitive edge. These extensions empower you to:

• Enhance Productivity: By automating critical tasks, you can devote more energy to high-value strategic initiatives. This means quicker response times, more effective follow-ups, and, ultimately, more closed deals (People.ai). 

• Boost Professional Image: Being efficient and tech-savvy boosts your professional image. When your CRM updates itself and your emails are tracked automatically, you come off as a forward-thinking leader who is on top of their game (LinkedIn).

• Gain Actionable Insights: The real-time data provided by these tools gives you the power to pivot strategies on the fly, ensuring you stay relevant and proactive in a fast-paced market (Kaspr).

• Automating Repetitive Tasks: Tools like uBlock Origin, Todoist, and others help clear out the clutter from your daily routine. This means less time managing emails and more time engaging in the customer-facing element.

• Delivering Real-Time Data: Stay ahead of the competition by receiving real-time updates on key metrics, ensuring you’re always making informed decisions.

• Seamless Integration with CRMs: Extensions such as LeadCRM let you update, access, and manage your customer relationships directly from your browser, reducing friction and speeding up your sales process.

What the Internet Taught Me This Week

From new tools, recent trends, and market updates, here is what has been on my mind.

1. ChatGPT has a “Deep Research” Model that allows it to write papers, cite quotes, and much more. Still early in its development but keep an eye on it

2. The New York Times has green-lit AI tools in the newsroom. The tools will be used for certain aspects of news, but not for the full articles

3. Wondering what government contracts have been canceled by DOGE? G2X has an active DOGE-Terminated Contracts Tracker

The littlest things can make the biggest impact on your work. You never know when something as simple as a Chrome extension…can make a big impact on the work you’re doing.

Time is your most valuable asset. Chrome extensions are an additional tool that will help you drive a more streamlined, efficient, and ultimately profitable sales process…and ultimately win. They allow you to harness the power of automation, integrate vital data directly into your workflow, and maintain a competitive edge that sets you apart from the rest.

Stop blindly chasing every lead. Strategically position yourself to win the deals that count, and utilize tools (mostly FREE) to help you win. Every little element helps, whether it is information on the stakeholders, the opportunity, market research, or something else. Use tools that are available to you to help you win.
