Need to talk? Call Jott.

I’ve always thought that I would have published the great American novel by now if only I had a personal secretary to which I could dictate it. Voila! Enter Jott.com: an important business tool for the true road warrior and the least complicated employee-like relationship you’ll ever have.

Jott converts your voice into emails, text messages, reminders, lists and appointments. FREE.

Basically, Jott is your personal secretary. Call the 866 number, state the name of your recipient, dictate your message into the voicemail box and hang up. Jott’s live operators (yes, REAL people, not text-to-speech engines) will type your message and email it and/or text it to your contact. That’s it!

Think of the possibilities:

• Do you bill your time? Jott the start and stop time, including notes about your client meeting before the client is out of sight.
• Need to mobilize your staff? Jott a message to get the ball rolling before you get back to the office.
• Want to maintenance the spouse? Jott them a tender note and score major points.
• Want to remember your to-do list? Jott yourself a reminder message and ditch the sticky notes.
• Don’t have a pen to write down a phone number? Call Jott and tell it the number.
• Thought of a funny story for your novel? Jott it out while it’s fresh on your mind.

The uses are many – the options are easy!

Here’s how it works:

1. Go to Jott.com and create a free account. Be sure to enter your phone number (best to use your cell phone number) as it relies on Caller ID to automatically identify you when you call in.
2. Next add a few contacts. By entering their email and phone information on Jott’s website, you will be able to simply say “Jott Bill or Jott Susie” and skip having to dictate their address information.
3. Now you’re ready to Jott!
   You: Call 866-JOTT-123
   Jott: Who do you want to Jott?
   You: Angela
   Jott: Angela, is this correct?
   You: Yes
   Jott: Beep!
   You: Remember to call Mr. Warwick, W-a-r-w-i-c-k about dinner Saturday
   Jott: Got it!
   You: Hang up.
   Jott sends Angela a text message and an email of the transcribed message, including an audio link.

Jott keeps a log of all your sent and received messages so you will have them for reference. It’s simple, accurate and did I mention, free?!

When no one else listens, Jott is at my beck and call.
