Waze
Waze is a must have app for everyone – but especially home party consultants! There is nothing worse than getting caught in traffic on your way to your Hostesses house!!
Waze is a real-time community-based app that shows where there may be traffic issues so you can re-route in order to still make it to your destination on time!
Trello
Trello has long been my favorite app for organizing my To Do List, but Trello is also an effective tool for Training Your Team, Brainstorming, Organizing Your Team Meetings, and more.
Their app is one of the few I have found that offers all of the same features as the desktop version in a clean, manageable manner.
Check out how I use Trello here.
CardNow

CoSchedule
CoSchedule is my favorite app for organizing and managing all of my social media updates in one place.
Their super robust software lets you create, schedule, and re-queue thousands of social media updates in seconds – saving you hours and hours of time!
Later
Later makes keeping on top of your Instagram a breeze! From your desktop easily schedule out your entire content calendar including images, captions, and hashtags!
Zoom
Being able to quickly connect with your team or prospects is crucial to your success with direct sales. Zoom offers live video conferencing without the heavy downloads of traditional video.
You can create “zoom rooms” for formal meetings or just to quickly hop on chat face to face.

Anyone who has spent the first quarter of their New Year analyzing the previous year’s receipts and bank accounts needs Expensify.
Expensify lets you scan receipts and automatically puts them in the right category – just by simply taking a picture!
They offer several different subscription services, but most Consultants would do just fine with the free level.
Square
Speaking of money – Square is still my favorite app for processing credit cards on the go!
The Square Register App gives you everything you need to take payments and run your business right at your fingertips.
Use the Square app to keep track of sales and inventory in real time and view analytics about your business.
Sure you probably have the Facebook App already on your phone – but did you know there are other apps from Facebook that let you keep each one of their awesome tools separate?
Facebook Pages Manager, Facebook Messenger, and Facebook Events are three must-have apps for maximizing your business on Facebook.
Update your page, answer messages instantly, and “Go Live” with a simple tap to your smartphone screen!
Canva
Canva is one of my best kept secrets for creating beautiful web images for use in social media, eNewsletters, blog posts, and more!
You can easily beautiful designs from over one million layouts, stock photographs, and illustrations – many of which are absolutely free!
Canva is easy to use and with just an idea you can create an image that works for you in seconds.
CalenGoo
CalenGoo is still my favorite app for managing your calendar quickly and effectively. CalenGoo works with your Google Calendar where you can color code different tasks, set reminders and follow-up tasks, manage recurring appointments, and more.
You can also choose to import other calendars to view so you can have your family calendars synced up too! Never miss an appointment again!
