The Best Email App For Your Business

I have been a loyal Mac person for quite a while now and I do love their products. I have an iPhone, iWatch, iPad (3 of them, actually) and an iMac. Yes, a bit excessive, but in my line of work, these are tools and not only for play. I never thought about changing my email app from Mac Mail that comes installed on all my Mac devices until one day, I got fed up. When I say “fed up”, I mean I was really close to throwing my computer out the window, but maybe that is what Apple is hoping I’d do so I’d have to buy a new iMac from them? Hmmm. Anyway, that’s when my search for the best email app began and I am happy to report, I’ve found the best email app for your business. How do I know that?

What is CRM and the Top 6 Reasons I chose Insightly

A few years ago, I decided to ramp up my efforts to connect with my clients by sending a thank you gift after completing a major project. I tried various ways of keeping track of who had received a gift so that, you know, I didn’t send one a week later because I couldn’t remember if I had sent it or not.
