I’ve been using Freshbooks for all my billing and invoices.
Here is my Freshbooks Review:
Freshbooks was initially recommended to me by one of my most-respected industry peers. A very successful guy who works mostly on his own and occasionally hires help.
One of the things that first impressed me about this guy was his billing system – quick, efficient, professional (and branded). And very much automated…

PC Mag describes Freshbooks pretty well in their own Freshbooks review…
“Freshbooks gives small business owners a drop-dead simple way to send out invoices and estimates (or quotes) – which by the way easily convert to invoices.
You get it all with FreshBooks: client and product/service records, easy invoice creation and dispatching, document-sharing and reports, and the best integration/smartphone support on the Web”.

And here’s and interview I found with Saul Colt ‘Head of Magic’ at Freshbooks…
Saul Colt is the Head of Magic for invoicing service Freshbooks.
He’s never had a large budget to market Freshbooks. However, he is very creative and loves his customers.
Once business owners build in strategies to continually delight their customers, small businesses (any business) could then consider using social media and other “cool” tools to do more online.
Saul suggested that you read a marketing book from the 1970′s (or maybe a bit later) before social media and web sites became popular. Small businesses can learn from these books “old school” marketing tactics to build better customer relationships.
