Jodi came to me wondering how she could get more clients. We took a look into her systems and found out that the way in which she is having people sign up was stopping the sale from happening. She was having to send UN and PW to a new user and while they were waiting for that to happen, they were finding other solutions.

Her software was working against her.

When you compare Jodi's sign up to Rover, the potential new client was able to sign up quickly and check off PET CARE for their trip to Cancun and be done with it. With Jodi, they were left wondering if she received their info and what the next step was.

Her software was working against her.

So much, that every year in the Mastermind, we actually go through five members' websites and sign up. We time how long it takes to sign up and if there are any spot points. There are some very popular software out there that actually STOP the sales process.

Today, we are diving deep into ways that your software might be working against you. My goal is to make sure that your software is an asset to your sales process and not a liability.

BTW - As I wrote these notes.... I wonder if anyone actually READS them. Will you send me an email to bella at jumpconsulting.net and let me know? Ok, onto the epsiode! :)

Transcript:

This is episode 299 of Bella in Your Business.

Hi there, I'm Bella Vasta from Jump Consulting. You might know me from CBS, NBC, Fox, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, or maybe you've seen me speak on stage or read my book The Four Dogs That Every Business Owner Needs. In any case, get ready because you're about to get your hashtag Bella Butt Kickin' in this next episode of Bella in Your Business.

So what do you say? Let's get ready and jump.

Welcome to another episode of Bella in Your Business. This is episode 299. Next week, we're gonna have a party, and I can't wait to get there. But first, we're gonna continue on the software train and talk a little bit more about whether your pet business software is working for you or against you.

There are all different kinds of software. In the last episode, I told you that we compared 19 software systems altogether on a comparison chart. Rather than just giving you that chart, we went ahead and gave you the option to pick five of your most important features, and then it spits back the software that has them. You don’t have to worry about being overloaded with too many choices or decision fatigue.

All you gotta do is go to jumpconsulting.net/software — that’s completely free. I encourage you to post it everywhere and help all of your fellow sitters out.

As a pet business owner, you know that having the right software can make or break your business. But what are the right software tools for your business? How do you know which one to choose? How do you know if you should switch software if you’re not getting a return on your investment with your current one?
