Leveraging marginal gains
Embracing business process automation is about capturing those marginal gains—those small, consistent improvements that cumulatively drive significant success. For TCommerce entrepreneurs, this journey involves refining every aspect of operations, from customer support to administrative tasks, through an automated system. It’s about identifying and enhancing those small, yet critical, processes with automation software to streamline your business and redirect your focus toward areas that fuel growth, such as strengthening customer relationships.
Thinkific’s CEO, Greg Smith, provides key insights into making this approach work effectively. He advocates for a strategy emphasizing selective engagement and smart prioritization: streamlining communication to maintain focus, utilizing scheduling to boost productivity, and discerning commitments to ensure your efforts are highly impactful. This disciplined approach, powered by business process automation, ensures your resources align with activities that propel your business forward.
By automating routine tasks, you can enhance efficiency and free up valuable time to invest in improving customer relationships and support—central pillars for the long-term success of any TCommerce business.
Harnessing automation tools
Harnessing the power of an automation platform, Thinkific transforms how TCommerce businesses operate, tackling inefficiencies and reducing human error across the board. Our suite of automation features is meticulously designed to streamline business operations, making them smoother and more efficient. Here’s how we do it:
- Smart retries: This feature tackles the problem of failed payments head-on. By intelligently reattempting transactions that didn’t go through the first time, smart retries significantly boost revenue and minimize the need for manual follow-ups.
- Automated incomplete purchase reminders: Forgetting to complete a purchase is common, but we bring customers back to complete their transactions with automated reminders. This automation is crucial in lead generation and conversion, ensuring potential sales aren’t lost to distraction or oversight.
- One-click payment controls: Simplify the management of refunds and subscriptions dramatically. With the ability to handle these tasks through a single click, what was once a manual and time-consuming chore is now efficient and hassle-free, thanks to our robust automation templates.
Streamlining administrative tasks
Tackling sales tax doesn’t have to be a headache. With Thinkific, it’s like flipping a switch to automate the whole process. Our platform takes the guesswork out of sales tax management by automatically handling the calculations, collections, and remittances for you. This means you can kiss goodbye to the days of manually sifting through tax regulations across different jurisdictions.
“T commerce can help this in taking sales tax off of your plate so you can actually save time and avoid the accounting headaches while staying compliant through our sales tax solution.”
— Desiree Choquette, Manager, Strategic Partnerships @ Thinkific
Digging deeper into the realm of administrative efficiency, the webinar highlighted how Thinkific’s automated sales tax management and accounting software integrations are more than just convenience features—they’re game-changers for TCommerce businesses.
By automating these critical but time-consuming tasks, creators and entrepreneurs can reclaim hours every week. Hours that were previously spent navigating the complexities of tax codes or double-checking financial entries can now be redirected towards strategic planning, content creation, and engaging with their community. It’s about turning what used to be a necessary drain on your resources into an opportunity for growth. Think of it as clearing the underbrush so your business can soar.
And guess what? We play nice with your favorite accounting software too. QuickBooks and Xero users, rejoice! Our seamless integration means your financials are always up-to-date, error-free, and comprehensively managed. This isn’t just about cutting down on your workload—it’s about giving you peace of mind so you can focus on what you do best—growing your business.
