I LOVE automation. It makes my life easier in running my businesses.

In this episode, though, automation takes on a new light with pet business software expert, Shane Whelan.

Shane's take on automation is that it should be more of an OPTIMIZATION process where the human touch enters the sales cycle right when it needs to be there. We need to OPTIMIZE the process for following up with our prospects and how to take tasks off our plate while not losing the personal touch that is so important in the pet business. If you've been hoping to automate/optimize more of your business to make life easier and make more sales, this is a must-listen.
