You Have to Find Time to Send Cards

I had a talk with one of my SendOutCards customers. She is a friend so I asked permission to be blunt. I attended a show she was doing for a friend of mine and never got a phone call or card to say thank you for my purchase. So I asked her "What was up with that?"

She reminded me that with working 9-5 and parties at night and the family she hasn't had time, yet she understands the importance of doing that. Now, I admitted to her that yes, I forgot that feeling of working and trying to build another business on the side since I have worked at home for so long. So I said "let's mastermind then". If you do not have time to call and follow up, let's program your SendOutCards system to send your thank you cards out automatically."

"What?", she said. "Automatically?"

"Yes! Load your contacts (guests who purchased after a show) and select the card campaign you created earlier and hit send! There is no need to create 30 cards for 10 guests at 3 shows over and over again. One card to multiple recipients and yes personalized each with their name in it!", I said.

The set up is what is the most time consuming. But once it is completed, you are ready to send a card to one person or multiple people at once. It is important to remain organized as you are loading your contacts into the database. One can do this by Creating A Group- Hostesses, Guests, Friends, Prospects, Downline, Family, etc. Once the group is added, then adding a contact to a group or multiple groups is very simple.

It is important to follow up. If you are not sending thank you cards to your customers and hostesses, you will not succeed. Period. Direct sales is a relationship industry and not following up to see how your customers like the product is silly. You are missing out on opportunities. They will remember you and think of you when they need your product. Think of what you are missing when not sending cards:

1. Missing out on future sales
2. Missing out on a future show
3. Missing out on a potential distributor
4. Missing out on a referral
5. Missing out on Building Your Business

Think of the money that it takes to get a new customer. If by sending a .98 cent card created multiple referrals then who is working for you- your customers and the cards!

Show appreciation whenever you can.

Business Tip- Sending Thank You Cards to Customers

ANMSRBSJGXDE

I was talking to a woman today in the direct sales industry for 33 years. Her name is Gina with The Selling Divas. It was fascinating. She is a card sender with SOC (not one of my customers or downline) and understands the importance of sending cards.

She has placed many orders with a particular person who is also in direct sales. One order was $400, another month it was $300 then following months were from $50-$100. One would think a constant and good customer like this should receive a Thank You for Your Business card. Well, that was not the case.

Why do we have to teach business owners, sales reps, independent contractors etc. the common etiquette to send a thank you card? We teach our children to send thank you cards to grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. for when the kid's get gifts. Or am I the only person who still teaches this to my kids?

Common etiquette is to say thank you. This all goes back to when I talked about the cost of finding a new customer compared to the cost of keeping an existing one happy through appreciation.

Let's think about the cost of .99 cent card plus postage compared to the cost of an ad in a local paper...hmmmm....hundreds! I don't think this needs to be explained. It is common sense.

I see this all the time. I have done business with many direct sales consultants and very few have sent a thank you card for hosting a show.

Direct Sales is about Relationships. If one does not want to build relationships- then direct sales is not for them.

In conclusion, please think of the hostesses/ hosts/ guests who bought from you. Send a thank you card or place a phone call to them. That little token of appreciation goes a long way.

SOC IPhone App Review

I was so excited about the news for the new SOC iPhone App! I downloaded it for free, logged into my account and started to send cards!!!

I thought to myself- how is this possible with over 14,000 cards, images and my contacts? Well, they did it. It is very simple.

I logged in and the screen shows my address, points and expense I have in my account. I select catalog at the bottom of the screen to start creating a card. The categories are listed just like in your regular account on the computer.  I select Holiday and Occasions to send a birthday card. I go through selecting the card for a friend. The images on the front of the card are clear and colorful. I click next at the top of my screen. I can edit the left and right sides of the card.

I can insert images from my SOC account or take a photo from iPhone!!! Instantly it goes into my card.

I can also add an existing contact from my Send Out Cards account, my device's address book or add a new contact.
It validates how many points and expense I am going to use and then SEND CARD!

Wow!!! Talk about acting on a prompting. You are out with clients and can send a card right after a meeting without going to your office! BRILLIANT!

The Right Way to Act

When I send a card out to a client or friend, I think to myself am I sending out to Give or sending out to Get?


Kerry and I love the fact that even as we grow our business we are learning to grow within ourselves.


When one sends out to GET, the Universe just takes. Now, maybe this is a bit of a far out concept for some of you, but I think this concept is very simple to understand for most. For example, how many times has someone contacted you and says the following. Now, keep in mind, I have had this happen to me often in the past, but have learned from it so I stay away from people like this.

     "Hey, Debbie, I wanted to call to see how you are and find out if we can meet for coffee. I would like to hear more about your online tool that can help my business."


     "Ok, when and where do you want to meet?"

So we meet up at a local coffee shop and I get to introduce my service and find out how they need it for their business. Then the conversation switches.

     "You know, Debbie, I think that you can use my service/ product in your business as well. We have a ground floor business opportunity that blah blah blah..."


That is all I hear.Why does someone think this is a good way of meeting people, building a team or sell a product/ service? Basically, I felt like the person was throwing up all over me about their business and wasted my time meeting up with them. I could have made an appointment with someone who is truly interested in me and my resources.


Don't get me wrong. I was interested in what they do, but I was not there to be solicited to. They asked me for coffee and then they did a switch. Probably because I would not have met up with them if they were honest.


This contact was obviously out to GET. So what happens, the Universe just takes. Nothing is given back. If the contact was truly interested in my service then I would of been more open to hear about theirs.


Yet, if they were out to GIVE the conversation would of ended up a lot differently. Can we see how we can refer to each other? Let's learn and build a relationship so you can trust me and I can trust you. When you GIVE and open yourself up to truly appreciate and learn, then business can be generated. If not, I think you are annoying, wasting my time and start to think to myself- would I want to be a part of a business where this is one of their techniques; which is blindly meeting up with people to puke the business all over them?
