marketing: Motivated AND Qualified Buyers.... who wants some? - 02/27/09 07:09 AM

marketing: Client Gateway - 12/22/08 04:47 AM

5 Components & basic definition:
1.  Lead Generation: prospecting by any means necessary and hopefully only those that produce the best results

marketing: 1 Easy Way To Get Consistent Referrals - 06/10/08 02:12 PM
Send a personalized note or card to express gratitude. 
Recently I began using SendOutCards to increase the number of handwritten notes/cards to clients, prospects, agents...hell just about everyone I meet now gets a personalized card from me.
One of the coolest features is that I can set up different campaigns for select individuals or groups and the cards go out on the designated days ... just like an email "drip" campaign.  Only these are hallmark quality greeting cards that arrive in their mailbox.
