How can I use to research a new market?

You can do this in a few ways, starting off with creating folders for each market, add appropriate websites for reference, industry news blogs or keyword searches of a specific niche, add actions to set up some initial milestones or next steps, events for any upcoming conferences or workshops, as well as documents and notes for putting together more elaborate or detailed summaries and proposals. Share folders with others you’re working with or add new folders to share with potential initial customers or other partners.

Besides actions, what applications are useful to manage projects?

As projects usually are not done or worked on in a vacuum, adding content to other applications can help to use both as reference or tools to help the actions get done a little faster or more efficiently. This could be adding notes of different types of instructions or other brainstorms, share websites of others you’re working with such as a customer, partner or other focus of the project, add events with email alerts for upcoming reviews or project milestones as well as documents for sharing presentations, spreadsheets, images or other types of office files.

How can marketing use with a sales team?

People in marketing can use a network to help keep those closest to the customer updated and informed of any new products or changes. Create a folder for reference or collateral material, such as presentations, product briefs or datasheets, pricing spreadsheets and other important office files. Besides documents, marketing can share relevant news feeds and websites of customers to stay aware of their perspective as well as any competitors for quick comparisons, competitive analysis, etc. Marketing and sales can also use events to schedule and coordinate upcoming customer visits, with actions and notes to document specific goals and resulting meeting summaries.

How can human resources use for sharing reference information?

HR or others in HR roles, can use their network to share company wide information. Just set up a new folder, share it with everyone in your network and add appropriate documents, websites and events for occasional reference. If more areas of reference documentation is needed, you can create new sub-folders as appropriate, add all users to the new sub-folders in one click. When new content has been added or changed, you can inform others with an email notification.
