Use Cases and Deployment Scope

EdrawMind = Easily Draw your Mind

With so much to speak about when bringing prospects through an onboarding process, having a diagrammatic tool to help synthesize a rational flow of thought helps when there are multiple conversations to be had on various topics, EdrawMind helps significantly with its mind mapping capabilities. I've tested about a dozen different options but I chose EdrawMind after carefully consider those available options on the market. EdrawMind came out on top in terms of aesthetics, platform support, cloud storage, functionality, features, customer support and ease-of-use I recommend this invaluable tool unreservedly with a 10/10

Pros

  • Helps with flow of thought
  • Makes reviewing notes easy
  • Easy to switch between platforms

Cons

  • Have a method to travel from one end of the relationship line to the other end
  • When printing the mindmap, have option to format the fit image to one page rather than tile it across the page multiple times
  • Improve the dictation feature when writings in the mindmap. It does not work so well
  • need more varied options for branching: have lightning looking branches, with a cloud being at the main start;
  • have tree looking branch types, with a seed at the main start; have a river tributary looking branch types, with a spring/dam/lake at the main start; have a solar system type branching, with a sun/star at the main start; have a electron system type branching, with a nucleus at the main start; in essence some type of fractals. I can send sketch examples if you want
  • Have option to include voice recording by directly recording into the branches

Return on Investment

  • Had increased my prospective efficiency about 10x
  • Number of prospects going through process have increased more than 20%
  • Time it takes to do process have decreased about 30%
