March PUG meeting - guest speakers Nathan and Amber Holritz

For the March meeting, we had 17 photographers get together and guest speakers Nathan and Amber Holritz came from Chattanooga. Nathan and Amber are amazing photographers and great speakers. Nathan is so super organized and has transformed their business into a paperless office. He spoke a lot on the concepts from the book "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. Warren Sanders won a free copy! Amber seriously rocks on the baby portraits! She is definitely one of the best in the business.
The management tool that Nathan has designed is called Photographers's Office. Right now, it is an online only but will soon be relaunched as a stand alone application.
Here are some of the links that Nathan referred to:
SyncMyCal - synchronizes iCal, Google and Outlook calendars.
SimulScribe - service takes voicemails and converts them to emails
GotVMail - virtual phone system, makes small businesses sound big, also sends voicemails to email
A lot of the group went to dinner together at Carraba's after the meeting and then a few of us went to play pool. We all want to say a big "THANK YOU" to the Holritz for their time and generosity. Please check out the amazing photos on their blog, too!
Please note: All of these photos are from a point and shoot camera!
