It's Not Who's In Your Database. It's What You Do For Them That Makes You Stand Out.

Just when I get my DB cleaned up, clients go and change relationships on me!Databases are for relationships.  My relationship with my client.  My clients' relationships with each other. 

And just when I get my database cleaned up the way I like it, people go and change things on me! 

With my old database, I had to manually  create the new relationship record, and then delete the old record.

With my Send Out Cards database, I can marry the two records with a single click!

Too cool!  And my Upcoming Reminders tell me when to send the happy couple an anniversary card.

What could be easier? 

It's not who's in your database, it's what you do for them that keeps you in their mind when they think about the service you offer.  I appreciate you thinking about me, so here's my gift to you:

Somebody you know needs to receive a card from you right now.  (I'll pay for the card and the postage.)  Click on this link, turn up your speakers, and my friend Kody Bateman will talk you through the process.  It's fun, it's free, it takes about 10 minutes, and the best part?  The person you're thinking of will receive a real card (not an e-card, so you need to know their street address,) a card that he or she can hold in their hand.  You know what will happen then? 
The card you send will make them think of you with a smile!

Try it!  It works!  Because of Mike I was able to send a personalized card to my mom right from the internet.  It's really neat.

Mike,

I love SendOut Cards too.  They keep me on track and I never forget a birthday or anniversary.

Mike,
Your title says it all!  We could have the best data base in the world but if we do not do anything for these people, what good is it?

We send out birthday cards to our database and have been doing it for years.  We just listed a home 2 weeks ago and they personally thanked us for the recently sent birthday card.  It works!

Great series you are doing.....databases aren't much good if you don't use it.

Uhh, is that a wholesale proposal ya got there, Mike???

Bonnie,

So many Real Estate Trainers and others like Mary Kay teach the principle of sending a few heartfelt cards per day, yet so few actually do it.  Three reasons:  cost, inconvenience and forgetfulness.  My database system overcomes all three.  Thanks for commenting.

Charlie,

Ain't love grand?

Amanda,

Give it a shot.  It won't cost you anything.  Thanks for the comment and the encouragement.

SOC,

I joined your group on Linked In.  Thanks for the invite.
