THE SITUATION Almost everybody wastes time by writing nearly identical texts over and over again. Some examples: • The always same "Happy birthday!"-Message you send to your friends & family • The message you send out after selling something on the internet • The reply to the recruiter who just sent you a job opening • ... For all of these and more situations CleverSnippets can help you to speed things up a lot!
