NetSuite Pricing
Cutting your software costs
I want to help you save money and I am never going to ask you for anything in return.
Every year I save thousands of pounds by not spending any money on software. It was the NetSuite pricing that pushed me over the edge one afternoon and drove me to look for a better deal for systems to run my business. I have learned that I can easily complete most of my key business tasks using software that I paid nothing for. You will not learn this skill at a business school. In fact I would be suprised if many experienced business owners know what I am about to share with you.
These are the simple steps I have followed to cut my software costs.
- Take 10 mins everyday and carefully search for each category of tool you need.
- Remember your findings and what you think on the free evernote.com service.
- 10 minutes each day evaluating your findings.
You should expect it to take about a month to get a list that will give you everything you need for today and the future. I want to make your life as easy as I can so here are some examples of stuff I use everyday.
On the left you will find software that in most instances is free (with the exception of a few which have upgrades with more features to paid versions) and on the right to make it easier to identify their mainstream equivalents I have listed the software you will definitely have to part money for.
