| Founder of Mustard Seed IT |
|
| Year founded: 2015
Industry: Information Technology
What the business does: The primary purpose of every service I offer through Mustard Seed IT is to add value to my clients without causing them stress. I achieve this by seamlessly integrating IT into business processes.
What AppSumo tools they're using: There are several tools I have acquired through AppSumo that help me run my business and serve my clients: GetScreen.me has been brilliant, enabling me to provide quick technical support—not only to existing clients, but also to prospects. InsecureWebhelps to keep tabs on my own data and provide added value to my clients. Hide My WP Ghost and Human Presence have further bolstered security to the WordPress sites hosted by Mustard Seed IT. WordHero, Wordplay, and NeuronWriter have all helped me create quality content that attracts new clients. |

| Founder of Mary Ann Markowitz & Associates |
|
| Year founded: 2003
Industry: Recruiting
What the business does: I provide high-level project managers in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area, as well as temporary placement of Controllers, Accounting Managers, and Credit Managers. MAM also takes on searches outside of DFW now since the market has opened up in the last couple of years—more remote working and clients calling me from Houston, for instance, and long-term relationships.
What AppSumo tools they're using: LeadRocks is essential for recruiting work. SendFox has also kept my name in front of thousands. Depositphotos to update our website. VBOUT helps me schedule all my LinkedIn social posts. |

| Founder of Taxevity Insurance |
|
| Year founded: 2009
Industry: Life and health insurance
What the business does: We're an independent family team that helps wealthy clients use insurance for their needs, wants, and gifts.
What AppSumo tools they're using: Because of our niche, we need tools that are comparable to those used by much larger firms like banks. That can be pricey! Since discovering AppSumo and lifetime deals, we've expanded our capabilities, quality, and productivity. The Plus community has also been very helpful in deciding what to get. Here are some tools we use that are currently available on AppSumo: Hippo Video allows us to send personalized videos via email. We get much higher response rates than regular emails or newsletters! Poised gives us an AI speech coach with practical feedback in real time. Pagescreen takes automated screenshots of competitors' web pages and identifies what has changed or been updated. Superdense gives us a visual way to organize webpage bookmarks across multiple devices. SiteGuru monitors our website and gives tips and actions on how to make improvements. |
