1. Peloton. Although Peloton is known for its stationary bikes and cycling classes, the company also offers additional exercises through their app. Take part in guided runs, yoga classes, or try out a cardio session on their app. If you have a Peloton bike, join live classes that are streamed directly onto the screen attached to the bike and see who you’re riding against on the leaderboard.

Now that we’ve been spending so much of our time on video calls, you might be wondering what a ring light is and if it’s worth it to purchase one. A ring light is a lighting tool that’s used to enhance the lighting and brightness when taking photos and videos, and contains a circular fluorescent lightbulb. Ring lights provide an even light onto their subject while reducing shadows and minimizing blemishes, and they ensure their subject doesn’t look washed out. Many even come with a tripod or a holder to connect your phone to the light while you’re taking photos or video. 

If you’re looking to step up your appearance on video calls, a ring light could be the perfect solution. It’s not always easy finding an area with flattering lighting while you’re working from home, so a ring light will ensure that your face is always well illuminated while chatting on a video call. Most ring lights are inexpensive and compact, making for easy storage and effective lighting. 

Will you be purchasing a ring light? Let us know! 

Whether you have a brand new computer or are using an older model, it’s inevitable that your computer will experience slower than usual speed at some point in its lifetime. We all know that feeling of frustration when an app you’re using freezes or completely quits while you’re working on something important, and although we probably can’t diagnose what’s going on, we’re here to provide some tips to get things back up to speed.

One of the easiest fixes for a slow computer is to clear your cache. Your cache is composed of data you pick up when you visit different websites on your browser so the next time you visit that website, you don’t have to load all of the data again. When your cache is full, however, it might slow down your computer since it’s holding onto older data. Check our blog post guiding you through clearing your cache here.

Another option to help speed up your computer is to uninstall unnecessary software. Go through all of the applications you’ve downloaded onto your computer and remove any you don’t use anymore and delete any old files you no longer need to clear up some disk space. Don’t forget to clear your trash once you’ve removed all of these files —  your trash still holds onto all of the data you’ve discarded. 

Make sure your computer software is up to date, as well. Installing the latest version of your computer’s operating system will ensure that your computer is running smoothly on the most recent version released. 

Check for viruses. It’s likely you’ll pick up a computer virus at some point while browsing on the Internet, and they’ll likely cause problems for your computer. Install a third-party tool to detect any viruses or bugs you might have picked up online —  many programs offer constant monitoring and protection for viruses. 

Although a slow computer is an inconvenience, these simple tips are sure to help speed things up and get your computer running back to normal in no time. 

Get to know the basics of BOSS Logics Live as we break down each of the platform’s features in our glossary.

Product Gallery: The Product Gallery displays all of the merchandise that has been imported into the platform that your company is selling. Apply filters to view specific products. 

Assortments: Assortments are groupings of specific products to be used in presentations for any client —  they’re a way to share the same collection of products with multiple clients, and are useful for showcasing new releases, full collections, or affiliations. For example, you might create an Assortment to share your Summer release or to present your Valentine’s Day Collection.

BOSS Logics Live is the perfect platform to both use in lieu of and to supplement your traditional sales meetings. The platform was created to mirror in-person meetings and was built to include all of the facets of a typical sales meeting. We’re going to break down the benefits of using the platform to regularly meet with your clients on BOSS Logics Live. 

1. It’s easy for clients to see your availability and set a date an appointment that works with their schedule. Share the link to your company’s Reception Room on your website, in your email signature, or send it via any messaging app. Clients can see when each associate is free and lock in a time for an appointment. 
2. Meet with up to nine people on one screen, and invite guests to join your meeting — simply copy and paste the appointment URL and send it off to invite new clients to join your appointment. 
3. Supplement product presentations with assets in the Content Library. Spice up your presentations by sharing images, PDFs, or videos with your clients during appointments. Once you click on an asset in the Content Library during a meeting, it will automatically appear on your client’s screen. 
4. Create individualized Proposals prior to meeting with your clients, or develop a brand new Proposal in real time as you chat with your clients and learn about their needs. Collaborate on your Proposal with your client so they can add notes and sentiments about each product. 

Overall, BOSS Logics Live brings the personalized in-person to the virtual world as each of the platform’s unique features aims to closely replicate the feel of a typical sales meeting.

BOSS Logics Live is the perfect tool to use both in lieu of and to complement in-person meetings. One of the greatest advantages of the platform is the potential savings this will have for a business while increasing their opportunities to foster connections with clients. As businesses host sales meetings on the platform, there’s less of a need to travel around the country for in-person appointments, resulting in lower overhead, and overall establishing more consistent and focused communication with clients. With the need for travel minimized, businesses can also save time as users can meet anywhere they please.

Businesses will also save time through quick and efficient appointments. Appointments have a clear start and end time, and there’s no travel time to get to and from meetings. Not to mention you can take appointments from anywhere —  whether it be from your home, office, or phone (BOSS Logics Live is compatible on mobile devices!)

It comes as no surprise —  the jewelry industry is incredibly successful. However, it tends to use more traditional sales techniques and old school methods for selling. Once BOSS Logics Live came onto the scene, there was a shift that has forever transformed the industry with the development of our virtual sales platform. 

For the first time ever, the need to physically be in the same place as your customer was diminished. BOSS Logics Live seamlessly combines the familiarity of in-person meetings and the convenience of the virtual world together in one user-friendly platform. Traveling across the country to meet with a client or packing a bag full of products for a sales meeting will soon feel like a distant memory as BOSS Logics Live goes beyond the new normal to make this happen virtually. 

The platform simplifies meetings to make them all about the customer —  they choose a time that works best for them so sales associates have their full attention, and during meetings, associates can view a handy contact card with valuable client information like purchase history and affinities. While screen sharing or showing products on camera on other platforms is a must, BOSS Logics Live steals the show with its interactive element to sales meetings. Associates can beautifully showcase their product gallery with high-resolution images and 360 degree views of products, all while having a face-to-face conversation with their customer at the top of the screen.

Staying in touch has never been so simple. With BOSS Logics Live it’s easier than ever for jewelers to have a quick meeting with clients located around the country to check in and strengthen their relationships. 

Evolution is a constant in business, and here at BOSS Logics, we’re committed to making sure vendors and retailers have the best technology at their fingertips to enhance their business practices while connecting with and selling to customers. 

It’s been a year since we began working from home and although it was an adjustment at first, working in an office is starting to feel like a foreign concept. As routines changed and new boundaries were set, work from home quickly became the new normal. If you’re starting to feel a bit burnt out from the work from home life, here are three tips to help you stay productive. 

1. Stick to a routine. This one might be challenging, but your productivity is bound to improve if you maintain a routine. Wake up at the same time everyday and get dressed to start your day. Set specific times that you’ll eat lunch, exercise, or check in on coworkers or friends. Don’t forget to stick to your regular working hours, too. Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean you need to work all night long. It’s important to separate your work day from your personal life. 
2. Take regular breaks. Short breaks are the key to staying productive —  they’re the perfect way to clear your head and let your mind and body recharge. Go for a walk outside to get some fresh air and even a little exercise, too! Call a friend or play with your pet for 15 or 20 minutes. You’ll feel so much more productive after taking your mind off work for a few minutes. 
3. Designate a specific workspace. One of the most important things you can do to stay productive is creating a space that’s used solely for work. Working from bed or the couch might sound enticing, but you’ll be much more prone to distractions in spaces that are typically designated for sleep and relaxation. Try to find a spot with a door so that you can close out any distractions and stay on task and work from there daily.
