With the release of the new Insightly Assistant, fans of the popular Slack messaging platform can now use both platforms (in unison) to complete time-sensitive tasks while serving up information about business opportunities.
Whether you’re a one-person enterprise or a team of 20+, improving workflow productivity is always a challenge. Because there’s rarely a shortage of tasks to chip away at the beginning of a work day.
With the proliferation of virtual assistants, moving through the tedium of attending to important but often time-consuming details (e.g. sending packages, following up with marketing materials) that take you away from bigger ticket items such as planning and strategy, is becoming part of the past.
According to a report published by Virtalent, it’s estimated that online working–including virtual assistant services–will be worth $5 billion by 2018 (source: virtalent).
Forward looking statistics aside, if you’re running a lean enterprise, you might not be poised to take on the cost of a human version of a virtual assistant. The good news is if you’re using a cost-friendly CRM platform like Insightly, there’s ready access to a non-human version of a virtual assistant system through an integration with the popular Slack messaging platform.
At Insightly, we offer a CRM used by small and mid-sized businesses from a variety of verticals. Learn about Insightly’s features and plans on our pricing page or sign up for a free trial.
