Kindle Free Pick of the Week: Woodworking Smash It A to Z

For those beginners in woodworking.

Woodworking involves creating works of art, although these works of art may not be as delicate as a painting or other art piece. When thinking of woodworking, imagine that you have a beautiful log before you, and you can transform this log into something that is a wonderful and beautiful form of art. By observation, wood products are seen everywhere these days and If you want to enhance the appearance of a room in your home, for instance, then there is no doubt you should include an authentic piece that has been made of wood.

If you want to identify a piece made through woodworking, also known as a wood craft, you are likely to see one when you are visiting malls, offices, museums and even people’s homes. There is significant demand for woodworking products. Transforming an otherwise meaningless piece of wood and turning it into a beautiful artwork is what fuels the passion of the woodworker. Not only is it a fulfilling hobby, it can also be a profitable side business.

Kindle Book Pick of the Week: Leveraging NetSuite & Your Mobile Device to Make More $$$

Ken Grohe with a new book.

Customer centricity is a key component to organizational success these days. Customers will gravitate to orgs that don’t waste their time and that quickly cater to their needs. You need to deliver your products/services in a customer-friendly and efficient way. Be sure to focus on the customer, as it will drive more sales and profit. If you don't make this change in delivering customer delight, your competition will.

Companies spend hundreds and thousands of dollars for systems like NetSuite, which do a great job addressing the core business processes but sometimes lack the components necessary to drive customer delight in the last mile. Integrating SignNow into NetSuite can help.

SignNow is a game changer. It enables your org to be closer to your customers and cater to their needs real time via mobile devices. Gone are the days when service people needed to go back and forth from customer to office just to input information into the system. With SignNow, they can go from customer to customer and provide change orders on the spot, which saves the customer’s time and makes them feel like they’re important to the company. This allows you to provide a better customer experience by integrating mobile touchpoints into the process.
