No matter what the weather's like this summer, it's a great time for growth. And the best way to do that is to bundle up! Wait, what?

We're introducing three new bundles of COATS and its options to match the three main stages of your staffing company's growth, and we're focusing on each of those stages on the COATS blog: starting up, busting through the mid-sized plateau and making the most of efficiency for power users.

 

One thing that's definitely still growing is social media! No matter what stage you're in, make sure you have a presence on social media to communicate with clients and candidates. To help us communicate with you, we've added a Pinterest area and Google+ account; check us out!

 

Speaking of communicating: you use COATS regularly, which makes you something of an expert on it. Well, now knowledge isn't just its own reward; your knowledge could win you money! Send us a "Did You Know" for COATS and you could win a $25 gift card. See below for details.

 

Enjoy your summer and thanks for being part of our family,

Focus: Grow Your Business 
This month, we're focusing on the growth of your business to celebrate our release of three new bundles of COATS Staffing Software and options that capture the three different stages of a business's growth.

Good news! You've survived the startup phase. Bad news! You might have hit a plateau in your business's growth. How can you get past it and keep growing? By developing a strategy for growth.

Did You Know We're on Pinterest? 
We've caught the latest wave in social media and have three boards on Pinterest: Feel free to follow us or repin or just peruse our boards. See you there!

We're Also on Google+
We've also established a page on Google+ for everyone who's on that site. We're posting mostly the same content as on our "Staffing Stuff" Pinterest board. But we must admit, it's a little lonely there right now. If you're on Google+, please let us know and we'll try to form a little staffing outpost on it. :-)

LinkedIn logoThe COATS Users Group on LinkedIn is starting to heat up! We created this group for COATS users to discuss the software with us and with each other so we can all get more out of it. 

 

This is a members-only group, so you don't have to worry about anyone wandering in and spamming us. Unfortunately, that means you do have to apply for membership, but we promise you'll get in; all you have to be is a COATS user. We look forward to seeing you there!
