Hey Reader, I reviewed Paperbell CRM back in 2023... I called it "nice, but basic" at the time. I just spent time with their 2025 platform and honestly?

They think having a "brand voice" means using fancy words or sounding like everyone else in their industry. But here's the real deal... Your brand voice isn't about sounding professional or polished. It's about sounding like YOU – consistently, strategically, and with intention. If your messaging feels scattered or like you’re starting from scratch every time—this is why....

Hey Reader, I’m a teacher at heart. I share a lot—whether you’re a subscriber, a client, or even someone just peeking in from the sidelines. And there are several reasons why: People have budgets, and the more I have to do, the more I have to charge. But not everyone can afford that. Sometimes you might think something is harder than it really is, and therefore, you can do it, you just need a little hand holding.
