Beyond the Kitchen Table (previously the Website Coach)

A CRM (Client Relationship Management) tool can make you more organised, save time and ultimately make you/your business come across as more professional. All to the benefit of your clients (or potential clients).

In this episode I talk about how I use a CRM in my website design business. I use Dubsado and have an affiliate code which can give you a 20% discount. https://beyondthekitchentable.co.uk/dubsado

In this episode I interview the award winning photographer Jade Tinkler. Jade specialises in photographing women. She took my last set of branding photos (and did an amazing job).

In this interview we talk about the importance of brand photography, how you can use the photos and, perhaps most importantly, some tips for getting the most out of them. We also talk about taking your own photos for social media and how Jade markets her own business.
