Re: How I turned $15 into a 24K Opportunity
Hey Art! I started using Aweber email software about 5 months ago. I send out a monthly newsletter with a customized template. People read it! Best part is that you always stay top of mind with your prospects. I actually exported my contact list from my CRM software and imported that into Aweber. Currently have about 100 prospects and customers in my email list. It's great! Much cheaper than a mailer.

Re: How do you sell more products and services taking into account the economy?
I've noticed that I've had to almost double my pipeline from what is was. I need to have at least 180K in the pipeline in order to make I sell 60K plus every month. Which means you have to do more prospecting....I'm also trying a new mailer next week, with a new idea. Art

Re: How To Sell Duplicators Round Table
Print 4 Pay Market: Marketing: Cold calling, nine times out of ten the owner is always somewhere in the shop and 50% of the time you may have the chance to met him on the first cold call. Once you have the name of the owner or the buyer, (keep in mind this is all you want too accomplish on the first call) and a good look at the equipment that he is using, you will want to create a dedicated mailing list for P4P. I will then send them a direct mailer every month and follow up with an in...

Re: Is giving away free stuff to the DM (built into your cost) ethical?
Well... I kinda do it all the time... I guess you can consider toner, supplies and maintenance as a freebie also. I've been known to include a pc, monitors, small fax, small copier or at least something that adds value to the sale and the customer may be able to make use of it. I've never included a trip, a car, however I'vebeen known to include a cash rebate every now and then. I knew a dealer and still know him that they actually send a mailer with wide format tv promo's and I mean the...

Re: Can this work with the 3800?
What a great item to sell with the AP3800C Laser Printer!!!!!!! This one one of the "coolest" items I have seen this year. It is called an Autoseal and is manufactured by Formax Corp. From their brochure: When one piece of paper is all you need.... The AutoSeal Solution is ideal for processing any document that can be printed on one sheet of paper. The process involves two steps to prepare your documents for the mail. 1. Forms with pressure snesitive glue are printed in your laser printer.

Re: Writing Compelling Emails?
Here's my order for the "box" approach. 1. Phone call: get name of DM and state this if he or she is not available. "I know he or she is busy, would it be ok if I can email them", in most cases you will get the email address, the lazy gate keepers probably think you won't bother them with another phone call. 2. Send Mailer: yeah, snail mail, send a professional letter with intro and your intent, include or not include a brochure or brochures about your services. 3. Phone call: if not luck...

Re: Why I Still Cold Call in Person!
When I cold call in person, I'm after a few things. Usually I do not bring a brochure unless I already know who the DM is.
