Shownotes

In this episode of Salon Rising The Podcast we did a deep dive into Tech!! Well we went into what utilising software can do for your business.

We were lucky to have Alyssa, General Manager of Kitomba Software join us in the inner sanctum. She shared her journey from marketing to management, and the role of data in business growth. This wasn't all just talking about how important software is for your business. Which it is, mind you! But we also looked at overcoming fears of numbers and efficient delegation. And utilising ways to market to potential customers outside of the creative fields.


It's so easy to say that our clients aren't sitting in front of computers, but some of them are! We explored the features of Kitomba. Like targeted marketing and reporting. And spoke into adapting and using technological advancements. Software is so much more than a Point of Sale these days. Streamline operations and allow more freedom and flow in your business.
