DayX is now 5PM
Today, we are super excited about the things to come, the little things that make a big difference and make life simpler!
Sometimes, it takes a genius to make some common-sense solutions scalable. This time, that solution is being provided by @softcom.xyz!
Today is D Day where you get the right information that sets you apart from the rest.
“How?” you may wonder, let’s tell you a story.
When I first got into the world of entrepreneurship, a customer requested for an invoice, and it always took HOURS to send it! As a young entrepreneur, I was always on the move, and could hardly take the time off to sit in front of a laptop and prepare a proper invoice.
Until one day, a friend watched me scrambling to get a long-overdue invoice sent while on the road asked me,
“Do you know you can create professional invoices on the go with your phone? And it literarily takes one minute! Because you’d have preset all constant information.”
I couldn’t believe it!
Guess what, the app didn’t just help us with creating invoices, it also helped us track who was owing and sent automatic reminders.
This made us not lose money in the long run!
This was such a long time ago and now, technology has gotten even better!!! Today, @softcom.xyz is launching a product that will make our lives and businesses even better (for individuals and businesses)!
Tune in by 5 pm today by clicking here.
