In this episode of The Struggling Biz, we deliver some ideas for tools for the entrepreneur in the small business environment to assist in becoming more productive (and, with that, more successful).
This theme comes from an earlier post in nerdwallet.com titled “7 Startups that are working to help small businesses.”
Because entrepreneurs, small business owners and startups are always seeking good tools to help them in their quest to become a thriving business, we deliver the 7 tools for you in this episode, with the suggestion that you go and explore a bit deeper to see if the tool may be attractive, as well as right, for your business.
The seven tools described in the earlier post are ones that can assist you to streamline your communications and flow, and the introduction to the article shows the gratitude of the entrepreneur environment for producing such assets: “it’s good to know that there are many businesses that exist solely for one purpose: to support your business!”
So, the seven tools for help in your small business are listed (with details for every tool):
- DIALPAD — “…cloud-based office phone system for free for up to five users called Dialpad Free.”
- SENDGRID — “Sendgrid offers email service that is ideal for e-commerce and dominates in the transactional email space.”
- UNITO — “…a collaboration tool designed to help teams work together who otherwise wouldn’t due to project management tool differences.”
- VESTED — “…a New York-based startup that helps small to medium-size businesses, particularly other startups, meet their hiring needs for accounting and finance professionals.”
- TRIPLESEAT — “a web app for restaurants, hotels, and other venues that want to increase event bookings while streamlining the event planning process.”
- WOMPLY — a tool that “…curates transition and online business presence data, in order to … boost their online reputations” and encourage more customer repeat business, as well as monitoring the health of the business.
- BENTO FOR BUSINESS — “Bento pairs prepaid debit cards with a full-featured web/mobile app to create a complete employee expense management solution.”

And if a trial version is available for the tool you may want to examine, then it can be a valuable use of your time to see how that tool can become an asset to help you manage your business, while generating income and producing value for your prospects and customers.
