Take advantage of the new technology these startups can offer and advance your own business. Use their solutions to save money and make your clients happy. Here’s our list of startups your company could involve in daily operations.
#1 Aircall
If your company relies on phone support to help clients confirm orders or solve issues, you’ll be happy you’re reading this post. This is how you just discovered Aircall. The software allows companies to set up and manage their phone support online, virtually anywhere in the world, within minutes. A desktop app and a Chrome extension act as virtual phones that your client support team can use.
With your account, you get even local or toll-free numbers instantly, in your local country or in any country in which you operate.
#2 Wordzen
Are you spending too much time answering emails? Then this product is exactly what you need. Wordzen is an executive assistant for your Gmail account. It works as a browser extension. You write your answers to the emails you don’t want to deal with as short notes. Then the Wordzen staff will convert your notes (like “politely decline” or “confirm”) into professional, polished emails. If you’d like, they also edit and proofread emails in under ten minutes. All you have to do is click on the Send Smart button after you’ve added your notes. For now it’s free, so you should hurry to get it.
#3 Engagemaster
Engagemaster offers real-time analytics paired with a live chat tool. As soon as your visitors reach your website, you’ll be able to track them in real time and interact with them through the live chat app. Also, you can set up triggers (like visitors reaching a specific page) and have pop-ups convert your visitors into buyers.
#4 Activatr
If you’d benefit from word of mouth, check out Activatr. They’re helping you generate posts on other people’s social media channels in exchange of perks. It’s a lot like Kickstarter, only that the currency is represented by social media mentions for your company.
#5 JumpChat
If you’re always on the run, JumpChat is the best tool you could use for meetings. All you have to do to connect with another person is to click on a URL. The tab in which you opened the link becomes a video call tool. There are no accounts to create. No plugins to install. Just start a JumpChat and invite your colleagues or clients.
#6 Blastchat
This might be the future of direct marketing. Blastchat makes mass communication super easy. You can send a message to your Blastchat contact list, or you can send it out for all your followers to see. Soon Blastchat will launch in 10 US campuses as an option for student classifieds, making it ridiculously easy for people to spread the work when they’re selling or looking for something.
If you’re interested in marketing your products or services to a younger audience, you should start setting up your Blastchat account today, the younger generations don’t like subscribing to newsletters.
#7 Sonar
If your customers are into texting more than voice calls and emails, give Sonar a try. Whether you’ll use SMS or Facebook Messenger, you can seamlessly send and receive messages using Sonar, reaching your customers wherever they are in a way that is more familiar to them than support tickets.
#8 POW! Photography
These people pride themselves on being the easiest way to get professional product photography for e-commerce sites. The process is really simple. You order the pictures online, send them the product, they shoot it, you download the photographs and start using them.
