Start, Run & Grow Your Business.

Palo Alto Software let me try out their business tool program, Start, Run & Grow.  This clever business kit includes a variety of “essential business tool to build your business.”  They offer links to sites and companies that help with tracking your time, bookkeeping software, payroll guides, managing customer emails, and plenty more.  There are a lot of discounts to these different offerings through using Start, Run & Grow–a lot of which can be very useful, especially for you starter-uppers.

I’d asked the company, once I perused the program, if I was missing something–I didn’t know if there was an interactive portion along with the site recommendations.  They said:  “The idea behind this particular product came from our customers. We knew from our popular resource section in Business Plan Pro that people were looking for services and products they could trust and would be essential to their business success.  So, we contacted several existing partners and quite a few new ones to put together a “business tool box” of offers – free and discounted – to help small and medium businesses. We grouped them into sections we thought would be more helpful for different advents of a business. Those starting out, those running a business and those in a growth mode.”

How clever are they?  I obviously needed the “grow” section of their program and found myself clicking away throughout it.

The downside to investing in a program like this appeared initially to be that I would only use 1/3rd of their offerings–but as I started thinking about it, I clicked on the “start” section and noticed an abundance of opportunities that I hadn’t considered when I did start my companies.  (An eye-opener, really).
