With the end of the year approaching, it's essential to plan professional development goals, which can be achieved with the help of automation tools like Zapier. By setting up automated workflows (Zaps) that support your plans, you can minimize user errors, free up time for more critical tasks, and increase productivity. Five resolutions to consider are: using a scheduling tool for client appointments, keeping client files organized using cloud storage services, no longer manually adding customers and clients to email lists, using an email list as CRM software, and reducing distractions by setting boundaries around inbox management. Zapier provides pre-built workflows that can help you achieve these goals, such as automating the addition of new Calendly invitees to ActiveCampaign contacts or creating Google Drive folders from new Google Forms responses. By implementing these ideas, you can gain more time in your day and focus on serving customers and clients.
