Infusionsoft Spring Release. Wow.

Your productivity just went through the roof.

We just got back from InfusionCon2013 aka ICON2013 and were wow'd once again. This annual conference of Infusionsoft users, consultants, and vendors was packed full with Infusionsoft news and business growth strategies.

The Infusionsoft Spring Release, to be rolled out this month, will take your productivity to a whole new level.

My Day - Organize your day - or your sales teams day - using My Day with tasks, appointments, and calendar at your fingertips.

Quotes - Finally a simple way to quickly and easily send a quote for your product or services to your prospect or client. And track it all within your Infusionsoft app.

Interactive List View - Pull up a contact and check out the new integrated tasks and options. Awesome.

GroSocial - the newest acquisition by Infusionsoft. GroSocial makes it incredibly easy to build professional fan pages and promote your business on Facebook and Twitter. Bring your key employees when you access the Kickstart program, no extra charge.

Branding Center - The new central location in your Infusionsoft application to easily make all your default templates (email, landing pages, web forms) display the same branding for your company. Fabulous. Productive. Consistent.

New Template Builder - (See me jumping up and down with excitement?!!?) Finally what we've all been waiting for. New editor. Squashed bugs. Easier navigation. Smile on my face.

Infusionsoft Marketplace - This is a new and unique FREE marketplace with a library of marketing campaigns and content that you can download into your app with the click of a button. End-to-end campaigns. Pre-written landing pages, emails, and forms. Can you say jumpstart?

New Campaign Reports - Newly enhanced to include a date or date range.

New Lead Source Performance Reports - New Trending report to track your leads and their activity.

Interactive Product Training - These are new training tutorials to help get you or your staff up to speed on Infusionsoft features, enhancements, and best practices.

Join us at our User Group meetings in April and May for more detail, discussion, and Q&A on the Spring Release - 1st Tuesday of each month. Register here.

Learn from the Masters how to get it done

John Wooden, a Basketball Hall of Fame coach, said, "Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do."

Henry Ford Sr, founder of Ford Motor Company, when challenged on his lack of detailed how-to knowledge on manufacturing cars, answered that he only had to push a button and have 6 people in his office who knew how to get it done.

Plugging the gaps in your skills or interests with an expert is critical to your success. We do this all the time in our personal lives: we hire landscapers, dry cleaners, caterers, mechanics, housekeepers, tailors, you name it. (Although some of us could take a closer look here too.)

Boosting success by boosting your health

There's an app for that!

Success's Secret Weapon

All man’s miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone,” according to brilliant mathematician and scientist Blaise Pascal.

As a child prodigy who showed innate genius in 17th-century mathematics, Pascal was allowed by his father to sit as a silent on-looker in the presence of the great mathematicians of the time. This so inspired him that he went on, at the tender age of 16, to develop his famous 'Pascal's theorem', earning recognition from the famed mathematician Descartes.

So, what's the point? The point is you.
