Business Tools Black Friday Deals
ThriveCart Pro
ThriveCart is a checkout platform that makes it super easy for you to start selling digital products, courses or group programs. It also makes it easy to set up an affiliate program for your offers and even host courses if you include the upgrade to Learn which is their course platform. I use ThriveCart to sell my templates as well as host all my courses in there.
This Black Friday, you can save $100 of their ThriveCart Pro plan and get it for $590 instead of the usual $690. This is a one-time fee that gives you lifetime access to ThriveCart and if you’ve been thinking about getting it, now is your chance.
Dubsado
Dubsado is an all in one client management tool that makes it easy to collect lead information, send proposals, invoices and contracts to your clients and create a smooth and seamless client onboarding process. You can even take payments from your clients by connecting your Stripe, PayPal or Square account. This is what I use to onboard all of my design clients and they’re all super impressed with how my onboarding process works.
