1. Automate Data Collection with Google Forms + Sheets

Google Forms lets you create online forms for client intake, surveys, or feedback — with responses automatically collected in Google Sheets. This eliminates manual data entry and keeps your information organised and accessible anywhere.

2. Save Time with Template-Based Emails in Gmail + Google Docs

Repeating the same emails? Create professional email templates in Google Docs and personalise them quickly for each client. Sending through Gmail keeps your communication efficient and consistent.

3. Never Miss a Deadline: Auto-Reminders with Google Calendar + Tasks

Combine Google Calendar and Google Tasks to set up automatic reminders for meetings, deadlines, and follow-ups. This helps you stay organised and improves client communication.

4. Reduce Back-and-Forth with Google Drive + Shared Drives

Stop emailing files back and forth. Store all your documents securely in Google Drive or Shared Drives. Collaborate in real-time and ensure everyone has access to the latest version.
