Twitter for Business 101

The whole world seems a-flutter about Twitter and I have been a bit of a sitter on the sidelines, at least until now. I have been tweeting for a few months but am always looking for new ways Twitter can help my business.

Mashable ran a piece called Twitter 101 which is a great guide to ideas on how Twitter can benefit your business. Here it is in hopes it helps you somehow.

Green B2B invoicing and payments

Business invoicing has just gotten “greener,” resulting in more cash in a new, easy way to electronically send an invoice and receive payment, while conserving our natural resources. Beat the recession.

We just launched a new service called greinvoice, which allows businesses to send invoices to their clients by email, with a link on the email to open the invoice on the recipient’s screen, at which time they can pay the invoice by electronic check or credit card…no postage, paper, envelope or trash.

We brought together three best-in-class vendors in this unique service to handle invoicing and payments in a secure online environment. Additionally, we are pleased to be able to help the environment by reducing trash and simultaneously help our clients receive payment faster.

Perhaps we are ahead of the technology curve (as usual), but the simple economics of rising postage rates (announcement today of another one penny rate increase in May) and escalating paper costs and the looming recession make the focus on cash flow even more imperative. Our lower cost to use technology to deliver invoices and receive payment makes more sense now than ever.

We have shown companies, e-commerce sites and nonprofit organizations of all sizes, locally and nationwide, many other ways to improve their cash flow using new technologies and reduce the administrative effort and expense.
