Whether you have a team right now or not, as your business grows you will get to the point where you can't do everything.
Most coaches start growing their teams by hiring a VA (virtual assistant) to support their social media/content management, among other tasks.
And when you begin working with your new team member, you will need a way to organize your communication. By having a system in place, you'll save so much time, energy, and confusion.
I'm excited to share a communication-organization app that has worked super well for our team at The Butterfly Guide...
...It's called Slack!
We've tried out a few different apps (including ClickUp, Asana & Voxer) to support communication but Slack takes the cake because it checks so many boxes for us and makes staying organized a breeze.
Here's what we love about Slack and why:
👉Customized "channels": Think of these as subject-based threads. We have channels for social media, masterclass (spoiler: I've got something awesome in the works), hashtags, lead generation, newsletters, training...and more! It's like keeping all your notes about one topic in the same "folder".
👉Voice notes: Just like Voxer, you can leave voice memos for each other. Slack will actually transcribe the notes for quick reading! You can even adjust the playback speed (a handy feature for longer notes). We LOVE this feature.
👉Pinned links: Within each channel, you can add important documents/links to the top that are relevant for that topic. Super handy to keep all docs organized by theme/subject.
👉App integration: Slack is set up with so many integrations - including, Google Drive, Loom, and Zoom! It makes sharing content from these external apps easy peasy!
This is really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of capabilities from Slack, but hope it helps if you're starting to explore new communication platforms.
I'd love to hear from you 😊Have you used Slack before? Did you love it? Hate it? Is there another app that's won your heart?
