One of the best products I have found to manage paper is the FreedomFiler; its a fantastic filing system we use with nearly every single client. We encourage you to look into this product and use it with your clients to help them magage their paper and tell them how long to keep it.  What I love the product is that how you file your paper tells you how long you keep it.  FreedomFiler

Recently, I was talking to my good friend, Debbie Rosemont of Simply Placed, based in Sammamish, WA.  We were talking about the FreedomFiler and how we can best use this tool with our clients.  We both have been using the product for years and many people want us to help them implement the system, but others have different needs.  Here are some ways you can use the FreedomFiler with your clients.

A la Carte:  Your clients purchase a FreedomFiler ala carte at www.freedomfiler.com.  I would encourage you to become a FreedomFiler affiliate.  Email us at info@aredbench.com if you would like more information on this.

Pre-Made kit:  You can put together the FreedomFiler for your client.  I know you don’t what to see this product become another product that sits on the counter.   Put it together and your client will have functioning files with minimal investment.

FreedomFiler Workshop:  You can offer workshops where attendees build their Freedomfiler in a group setting.

FreedomFiler Consultation:  In just a few hours, you can show your client how to use the product, how to implement it and build their  system.  In my experience, your clients can have files they will never have to re-organize again in less than 3 hours.FreedomFiler

Both Angela and I love the FreedomFiler and you will too!  It’s a great tool for your clients and can also provide you with some passive income by becoming an affiliate.  If I had one wish for every home, it would be to have a FreedomFiler.  You will be a lifesaver to your clients as you can save them from their paper pain.
