Vanessa Prothe, a solopreneur and founder of Speak English with Vanessa, an online English as a second language program, knows the importance of implementing tools early to achieve long-term success in business. She started by focusing on developing content and connecting with clients, rather than learning how to code or build tools herself. To manage her growing business, she adopted automation through automated workflows using Zapier, which made it easier to manage tasks such as enrolling students, adding them to mailing lists, and processing payments. By automating these tasks, Vanessa was able to save time and focus on what she does best: fostering conversations with her clients. With the help of tools like Zapier, solopreneurs can also learn how to do more without wearing multiple hats, just like Vanessa did.
