I can see it

DO you have the kind of business where it’s sometimes helpful to see what the other person is looking at on their computer?

One of my clients shared this link with me so I could see his screen. GREAT for teaching or troubleshooting when you need to see something on someone else’s screen.

Tech Tip: iPad/Flash work-around… A company called OnLive.com has a new, FREE OnLive Desktop App for the iPad that turns it into a flash-readable PC with MS Office access — all cloud based — all free.

The Desktop Plus version costs just $4.95/month and gives you Internet capabilities as well. Unfortunately, it STILL won’t work within SendOutCards, but you can still implement Follow-up Systems by using the SendOutCards App available for download for iPads to build your business relationships.

As more folks are getting laid off from corporate jobs (i.e. Solyndra this week) people are considering other forms of income. Direct Marketing often gets a bad rap, but it does have many advantages. Many people will use the services, but some will consider the business opportunity to supplement their income or for alternate income.

The following is a hilarious video by Pat Petrini about so-called “pyramid schemes” (which are illegal, by the way): http://www.mlmunderstood.com/pyramid-scheme-cartoon

EEEK! I just looked at the calendar just now and realized that this coming Sunday is FATHER’S DAY!!! If you already have a SendOutCards account for your business greeting cards, you are one lucky ducky and there is no need for panic…

You can use that account to send a card for under a dollar, include a gift, and pay for it with your personal credit card. Who among us has time to go to the drug store, fork over $5 or more, run to the post office, write something, address it, and get it in the mail? Did I mention the cost of gas???

If you are as busy as I think you are, you may want to try sending that real card from your computer by way of the old fashioned USPS snail mail. Huh? Yes, it’s the blend of high tech and low tech that gets the job done in a real personal way. If you send it today or tomorrow at the very latest, barring delays with the Post Office, it will probably arrive on time. Click here: www.SendOutCards.com/HandtoHandContact and then choose #2 to send a card via a recording that will walk you through the process. You’ll find Father’s Day cards under Holiday & Occasions. The first card is on me. Later, you can go back and watch the videos on #1 & #3.

Going forward, you can get a full blown account for less than $10 a month for about a dollar card with NO SETUP FEES! Of course, if you send LOTS of cards, the Wholesale Account is still the best bargain in the bin…

Perhaps your business is one that interfaces with families or maybe you just want to build your business relationship. How special would it be to send a Father’s Day card to all your clients who are fathers, letting them know they are doing a great job or that you honor them? Super special — especially if you do NOT include your business card or special offer. Just send a card of appreciation and know you might have made someone’s day!

The whole process just takes about 5 minutes, so do it now and feel good the rest of the week. I know I will!

As business owners, we love doing what we do, but the actual business development side is often not as fun — until now! Maybe you have heard about this fabulous tool or maybe not, but as follow-up systems go, SendOutCards is probably the best when it comes to building and maintaining business relationships!

As of Tuesday, May 24th, it got even more affordable! The good folks at SendOutCards have removed the price barrier for all Retail accounts — and they have replaced it with a monthly subscription service for less than $10/month! In addition, everyone buying this service — as well as those who already have in place a retail account, will now have access to PicturePlus 2.0 which makes custom card creation much, much easier and even fun. Now “fun” and “follow-up” can actually fit into the same sentence. Ha-ha!

It will all become more clear as I gather more information and details Tuesday (tomorrow) morning, but the bottom line is that this is all good!  Anyone can get a leg up on their business competition with SendOutCards — if you don’t — your competitors will! Follow-up systems are going to evolve as access to these business greeting cards become integrated into your business. Following up after networking will be a snap — and all for under a dollar a card!

Stay tuned as more develops or contact me for questions and to learn how you can apply this to your Business Development plan today!

Most entrepreneurs understand the importance of  maintaining and developing business relationships. Today we have many options and choices thanks to social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter. Others use eZines and electronic newsletters to communicate with clients. So how do you stand out from your competition or get your customer’s attention?

Savvy business owners are jumping on the SendOutCards bandwagon. Not only can you send postcards, business greeting cards (both regular & BIG cards), now you can send a card with a video inside. Imagine holding a card with a heart felt message in your own handwriting, but then also seeing a QR code that will take you to a video message!

A video card opens up a whole new playing field when it comes to seeing a friendly face and voice offering a useful tip, training, or other type of active visuals. You can check it out by looking at the following video (here) and then by trying it out for yourself by clicking here.

As 2010 comes to a close and we look to the New Year, sales and marketing goals are being set, keeping in mind as to how our Business Development will unfold in 2011.

It’s best to start with taking a look at this last year. Hopefully you put your sales and marketing goals in writing. What was your sales goal for last year? Did you make it, exceed it or miss it by a mile? How much did you spend on marketing? What was the return on your investment? Can you calculate the cost of new clients, broken down into the different types of marketing you utilized? This information will help you determine where you should re-allocate  your expenditures — not just in dollars, but in time as well.

Whether you market your business in print, the Internet, via newsletters, or face-to-face going to networking events, you’ll want to make sure that you also follow-up on the leads and referrals you receive.  This is where most business owners — not YOU of course — fall flat on their face.  Do you have  follow-up systems in place as part of your client acquisition plan? Perhaps you call prospective clients, email them, send a note, or maybe those business cards you collect simply pile up on your desk, only to get pushed into a drawer, never to be seen or thought of again!

People don’t usually buy the first time. They want to make sure you and your company are legit, trustworthy, and that you will deliver on your goods or services. So, even if you reach out that first time, do you continue to stay in touch? I recommend a combination of different avenues of communication to ensure you keep your name and business in mind. Your competition will do this too, so how do you set yourself apart from the others? Do something different and unexpected to develop business relationships!

SendOutCards has affordable, easy-to-use Business Greeting Cards of all types that will make a lasting impression and give them something physical to hold onto that can’t be deleted. Social etiquette has fallen to the wayside in this high tech world, so when someone gets a thank you for meeting with me note, or thanks for the referral with a Starbucks gift card, or a congratulations on being my newest client card with a box of brownies, they’ll most likely even tell their friends, family, and co-workers about you! What an easy way to get referrals without even asking for them!

No matter how you go about reaching your marketing and sales goals for 2011, make sure you have Follow-up Systems in place so that your Business Development will unfold according to plan. Also WRITE IT DOWN since the written word is far more powerful than just thinking it (hey, that’s another good reason why cards work!).

Those are just a few reasons to stay in touch. For more, please opt-in to receive “40 Marketing Ideas To Help You Stay in Touch with Your Clients”.
