Check Out the Tools & Software I Use

Each person's experience with a company is based on a variety of factors.
Z&B Consulting, Inc. is not responsible if you decide to use a company listed and then are not happy with them. 
This is also not a comprehensive list. It's simply my way of sharing what I use and have been happy with.

Scheduling
There are many services for scheduling.  My current preference is Acuity Scheduling due to it's ease of set-up and modern look/feel. Like MailChimp, I also like the humor. It adds a little fun to hectic days. 

If you are thinking of starting to use Acuity Scheduling, I'd love for you to use my Affiliate link below.  As a special thank you, I will give you a 15 min Q&A session to help support you in set-up.

Mileage Tracking
Track your mileage with ease and decrease your tax time stress!  This app runs in the background and keeps track of where you drive.  You can program frequent places you go and classify home and business. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! No more taking hours and days gathering my mileage from the past year for me!

If you are thinking of starting to use MileIQ, I'd love for you to use my Affiliate link below.  MileIQ will give you 20% off when you do.  (Note: They give you a month free to try it out. You will need to upgrade after that because you'll easily surpass the trips they include in the free program. That's because when you drive anywhere it's two trips, one trip there and one trip back.  The small amount they take from my account each month is well worth it!)

Payment Processing
There are many options for payment processing.  A merchant account is usually the best option, however the cost is often not justifiable early in your business. That's why companies like Paypal and Square are around. I use both, each for different reasons.  

Square is my go-to for most things.  I love it's user interface, the fact that money is deposited the next day without my having to do anything and their great customer support.   I use it for invoicing and for selling products. 

If you are looking to start using Square,  use the button below to get started.  When you do, Square will process your first $1,000 in sales without charging you a processing fee.....and they'll process $1,000 for Z&B without a fee. Cool, right?!

Paypal is what I use for recurring payments.  It automatically takes payments each month.  I use it for my programs that offer payment plans.  They have great support too. Paypal doesn't offer any benefits for referrals.  Just go to Paypal to get started.

E-Classroom
Looking for a place to host your trainings? Teachable is easy to use for you and your clients.  You promote your classroom in the places you'd like and best of all, promotional pages are built into the platform. That means you don't need to purchase another tool to create a splash page for promotion.

If you are thinking of starting to use Teachable, I'd love for you to use my Affiliate link below.   As a special thank you, I will give you two 30 min Q&A sessions to help support you in your set-up.  (Don't want to set it up yourself, email me for a customized quote to have the Z&B Consulting, Inc. team get your teachable account set up for you.  )

Newsletters
​There are many services you can use for newsletters. My current preference is MailChimp due to the low cost and ease of use.  I also like the sense of humor in their prompts.

If you are thinking of starting to use MailChimp, click on the icon to the right to get started. You'll receive $30 in MonkeyRewards and so will Z&B! (once you upgrade to a paid account)
