It’s that time of year…
Lots of people like to send out holiday cards but it’s such a small window of time.. especially if you want to do something special like add a photo of the family to the card or include a personal “what we did this year” letter. (more…)
More and more people are looking for opportunities to add some additional income to what they are currently earning or are looking to totally substitute their job for a home business. Either way, people are wanting a change.
I spent 3 years looking for a home business I could get excited about. I would fill in those e-mails that advertised working from home and would get calls every so often to about opportunities I didn’t see myself pursuing. I would also call the numbers on peoples cars or on fliers. Not much was exciting me.. I tried a home party business which works great for a lot of people but I find it difficult to be out when my family is home.
One day after I filled in a form online I got a call from a lady named Stephanie, she is from Toronto and she asked me if I ever heard of Send Out Cards. I had never heard of it but the name of the business intrigued me. She set up a time to demonstrate it to me and was consistent with her follow up. I fell in love at first sight. I could totally see the value of the system and could see myself using it and sharing it with others. So…. I signed up!
Why is Send Out Cards the perfect business? There are 2 components to the answer. One is that it’s a great opportunity for me to earn from home and teach others how and the other is personal….. love of the system and what it does for me.
First of all, I can truly sell it from home. I don’t have to send anything out as a sample, I have no investment in CDs or product in order to show others how it works. I can demonstrate how it works to others over the phone. I like to do it in person but for some, the phone works better. There is no competition to what this system can do. It’s an amazing system that will help anyone manage a database and take care of any personal correspondence whether it be for business or personal relations. This is such a great system that other network marketers use it. It’s easy to attract entrepreneurs to the system because it’s not only easy to sell but it can be used in tandem with their current business.
For me personally … as a business I like the ease of use. I don’t have to know a lot about a lot of product and I don’t have to fill in complicated order forms. It is the simplest product I have ever sold. Also, by doing the demonstration with people, teaches them how to teach others. SO…….. easy to replicate.
As a business, it’s easy and there is no competition (or complications) ..now on a personal level it’s even greater!
Even if I had never signed a customer or another team member I would still LOVE it! Before I had my son, I was so good about correspondence and sending the latest info to friends. I was good about acknowledging peoples special occasions and I was good about sending them cards and letters when friends or family were down or had a loved one pass away. After I had my son and faced some difficult times, I found that I had gotten away from staying in touch with friends and even family. I live the furthest away from everyone in my family and I also lost touch with so many friends. When I started sending cards.. I was so excited about the ease of use that I started sending cards to everyone! I mean.. I was on my computer a lot.. it was easier than going to the store, picking out a card (that may or may not express how I feel) then making sure I have stamps.. much less actually writing in the card and addressing it, stamping it then… making it down to the mailbox with it. It used to be easier but when I had someone else to look after.. I found myself with less time to do all that.I laughed at myself last winter when I opened a box of ornaments and found 4 years worth of seasonal cards that I purchased and NEVER sent.. I didn’t fill them out, I didn’t do anything with them. I sent seasonal cards this past winter in 15 minutes.. that’s it.. design a card with a family pic, fill it in, mail it to 60 people.
With some events, there is a short window.. I had a friend whose mom passed away, it was easy to send a sympathy card from my computer. A couple of weeks later my family was invited to their house for a BBQ. They hadn’t lived here very long so they didn’t know a lot of people here. While I was there, he was very sincere when he thanked me for the sympathy card.. he pointed to the bookshelf where it sat….. with 3 other cards…his mom passed away and all he had were 4 cards. I was glad that one of them was from me. It’s sad not to acknowledge people. One might have thoughts of the person but it is meaningless if those thoughts are not expressed.
People these days know that they have gotten away from that personal touch. In their personal lives and in business. We might thank someone on the phone or in an email but what people really appreciate is the time someone took to mail something personal.
Why is Send Out Cards the perfect business? It is truly a NO BRAINER. It’s easy, it does what no other system does and it is incredibly handy when you want to act on a prompt and acknowledge a client or friend.
As you think of this post, I’m sure you are thinking of someone you need to touch, who is it? Send them a card, the first one is free.. Contact me to find out how. charlottesalafia@yahoo.com or Google me Charlotte Salafia.
The year 2001 was a tough year for a lot of people. There was a lot of trauma stuffed into the last part of the year. That whole entire year was traumatic for me but it was difficult for me to recognize that. Why? (more…)
I was thinking back to a great mentor of mine, Michael McCombs, DDS. He developed a great practice that not only made patients look good but made them FEEL good.
