Do you find yourself putting off the repetitive daily tasks for your toy business? Did you ever wish there was a magical solution that could automate those tedious processes? Well, there is one! Today’s episode is all about saving yourself time and money using an incredible automation tool called Zapier. I personally use this tool to automate some of my Toy Coach processes and I have found it so helpful.
My guest today is Kelly Goss, a Zapier certified expert and the founder of Solvaa, a company that helps businesses become more efficient through automation. In 2021, Kelly published a book called Automate it With Zapier, which is a guide for using this incredible tool. In today’s episode, Kelly gives you what I would consider “Zapier 101.” She tells you the basics of using Zapier, including a step-by-step review of how to automate a process.
While listening to the audio is very informative, if you watch the video of this interview on YouTube, you can also see exactly how it’s done! You’ll also learn the benefits of automating tasks, what types of processes you can automate, and which ones you should avoid applying automation to. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to save time and money!
