Do you feel overwhelmed and busy ALL THE TIME?   Do you wish you could afford another pair of hands to do the boring, mundane tasks that suck up your time?

I have the answer!

I’m Kelly Goss, founder of Solvaa, business process automation specialists. It’s no exaggeration to say that Zapier changed my life.  As a business owner wearing multiple hats I was stretched too thinly and approaching burnout.  Discovering the world of Zapier was a lifechanging moment and I replaced the inefficiencies with running my business on autopilot.

I now help other businesses do the same, and want to share my knowledge with you too.  I want to show you how running your business can be so much easier when you become an automation superhero!

 

Our free automation ebook

I’ve written an introduction to the world of business process automation which will show you what you can achieve with tools like Zapier.

Have you ever wondered:

  • What are the benefits of automation?
  • What automations should I be using in my business?
  • Which tools can I use to automate my business processes?

As well as covering those, I also dig deeper into my favourite tool, Zapier.  I answer some burning questions which I’m asked all the time, such as:

  • What is Zapier?
  • What is a Zap?
  • What apps can Zapier connect?
  • Who can use Zapier?
  • Do I need the paid or free version of Zapier?
  • Can you show me some examples of Zaps?

What’s more, I show you which areas of your business you can automate, including some quick wins to get you started.

 

What others are saying about our ebook:

“Such a good ebook, I plan to implement! Especially the keeping record of expenses – that would be so helpful without having to invest in a huge tool like Quickbooks or Wave.” – Azhelle W.

 

Download our free ebook
