Tools I Brag About
With over 15 years in marketing, I have used HUNDREDS of tools over the years!
These are my favorites that I PERSONALLY USE and have partnered with…

Kartra
All in one account… No more duct tape!
Your online business requires a bunch of different solutions that must be duct-taped together, often leading to frustrating results. You know the pain: your checkout page won’t add your customers into your mailing list, or your helpdesk portal won’t connect with your contacts database, or your membership site won’t revoke access when a user refunds payment, etc.
Utterly frustrating, and a huge waste of time… until now!
All the individual sections of Kartra are woven together so they seamlessly “talk” to each other, without having to configure any integration whatsoever. As a result, the tracking is global!
That’s the power of one: everything under one synchronized umbrella.
Active Campaign
I have tried DOZENS of email services and nothing compares to the ease and power of Active Campaign.
Active Campaign is soooo much more than email marketing, it’s a marketing automation suite that translates your customers click behavior into highly personalized and targeted messages that turbo-charge sales.
A couple of my favorite features? No more guesswork about when to send an email. With predictive sending, your emails will be delivered when your contact is MOST likely to open them. Sally is an early bird? She’ll get her email at 5am. John only checks his email after work? He’ll get his at 6pm.
Active Campaign also leverages predictive analytics so your can dynamic content that adjusts to your reader. What does that mean? It means you can send ONE EMAIL but Sally will get the “soft” sales pitch and John will get the “hard” sales pitch. Seem impossible? Give it a try from my partner link below and I’ll be happy to share my tips & tricks.
Thinkific
Create, market, and sell your own online courses
I am super PROUD to be a part of the Thinkific Agency Partner program. I have worked with several online course platforms over the years and have always been impressed with the ease and functionality of their program, competitive pricing, and commitment to supporting their creators. If you’re looking to start an online course, it’s a no brainer!
Flywheel Hosting
When it comes to WordPress hosting, I can be a little lazy. Yes, I *know* how to do it all, BUT that doesn’t mean I want to.
For example, if my website goes down at 8pm on a Friday while I’m out, my date night won’t be ruined. Flywheel handles it.
Automatic backups? Check. Super tough security? Check. Built in caching, staging sites, and CDN? Yep, that too.
However, my absolutely favorite feature is the support. I’ve never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a support chat session. If it’s not a quick fix, their engineers jump on it and fix it ASAP.
Pretty sure their tagline should read, “Hosting without the Headache.”
Try Interact
Try Interact is basically a lead printing machine. THEY can’t say that, but I can.
If you’ve read any of my posts, you know I’m a HUGE advocate for email segmentation and aggregating consumer insights so you can deliver impactful and relevant marketing messages.
A carefully crafted and engaging quiz can be a GOLDMINE for tapping into the wants and needs of your ideal customer.
