Making Smarter Choices When Evaluating New Productivity Tools

The key is slowing the process down just enough to ask practical questions. Start with the real problem you’re trying to solve, not the tool itself. Look at workflows, onboarding time, and long-term costs. This is also where transparent pricing matters; reviewing resources like Fireflies promo codes can help teams understand cost structures before committing. A short pilot with clear success criteria usually reveals more than weeks of demos ever will.
