The Proven, Most Powerful Form of Follow-up!

Most Powerful Form of Follow-up is the Handwritten Card!Becuase of its personal nature, handwritten correspondence has a power that other methods lack and should be at the core of any follow up system.Why? It says to your prospect or client that you've taken the time to recognize them as an individual and they are important to you.This is also a GREAT way to differentiate yourself from your competition because so few people bother to follow up at all, let alone in ways that will impress prospects. If your competitionsends a e-mail or mass-produced flyer and YOU send a handwritten card, guess which of you is more likely to get the sale?I will give a couple of stories to illustrate the power of the handwritten thank you note:STAY TUNNED.....;)Have a blessed daywww.sendoutcards.com/donnaelmore

How Do I Follow Up and Build Relationships?

To achieve a successful strategy for building and managing stonger client and prospect relationships business owners and professionals need a "SYSTEM" that takes the time -consuming work out of the process, is easy to use, and is cost effective.A follow-up System could include: direct mail, phone calls, and /or e-mails.Here's the Problem:. Direct Mail that looks like it went out to everyone in the area tends to be tossed out--- UNLESS it is personal and engages the prospect or customer emotionally. The response rate to direct mail used to be 2-5%. Today it is only 1/4- 1/2 -% due to people feeling bombarded with promotional information that does not engage them on a personal level.. Phone calls are time consuming and not always appreciated.. E-mail is increasingly unopened, deleted and ineffective due to its impersonal nature in fact, up to 87% is deleted!. You need a system that is personal, easy to use, convenient, not time consuming, and is cost effective. What's the solution?have a great productive day!Thank you for continuing to follow this blog.Donna Elmorewww.sendoutcards.com/donnaelmore

Why Building Relationships Shouuld Be Your Success

Let me prove this point with an illustration:Businessman A and Businessman B start their businesses at the same time.Year One: Both use advertising and cold market methods to generate leads and convert them to customers. "A" doesn't stay connected with his clients and build relationships with them."B" stays in regular contact with his clients with intention of keeping them for life. Each gets 80 clients their first year, 80 clients the second year, and 80 the third year. Both have 240 clients, but.........Because "B" has follow up and focused on relationship building, 20% of his new business is now by referral only, so he has less marketing cost while "A" needs to keep prospecting to find 80 more clients.After five years, both have 400 hundred clients, but "A" still has to hustle and spend big dollars on marketing and advertising to find 80 more new customers. " B" however, now has his 80 new customers totally by referral from his current customer base( 20% of 400)- with NO advertising or marketing costs. except the minimal investment in his follow-up system.And because "A" never followed up with his current clients, he has lost a number of them to the competition. "B" has solid relationship with his customers who feel appreciated and that "B" cares about them, so "B" has a steady stream of repeat and referral business for life!If you want to spend less money on advertising and marketing, having a successful relationship building strategy is critical to make sure you are giving the right attention to your prospects and customers, and personalized follow up system is The KEY!

Living Your Vision

In 1996, when I became a mom for the second time, my dream of working from home truly began to manifest. As I would cradle and snuggle with my new little bundle, I envisioned those amazing moments of bonding, lasting forever. I knew that going back to work was no longer an option for me. I enjoyed the lazy afternoons of holding my son close and studying his facial features. I loved his newborn baby scent and the routines we had already established. For me, being a mom was a dream come true!Growing up I had always been a dreamer and I just knew one day I would have my own business and work from home. Giving birth to my second child nurtured my dream into existence along with my vision. I had found my purpose and knew I was now able to make my dream a reality. I was ready to start living my vision.In order for me to make it happen, the next step was for me to share my vision with the right people. I knew the right support would be imperative to my success and I was serious about being successful. It can be frustrating at times when we have these immeasurable dreams that we are so passionate about and can’t wait to share with those we love just to have that dream shot down by those loved ones who don’t share our same vision and lack our understanding. Do you have a positive support system and a team of personal cheer leaders in your corner?If you are ready to live your vision and work from home, now is the time! It must first start with your dream and the vision you have for your life. Most importantly, you must believe in yourself and not allow negative thinking, people or circumstance to stop you from fulfilling your dreams! You can and deserve to live a life of overflowing abundance. You have the ability to achieve success and be empowered! Be inspired and make your dreams come true.Thoughts to ponder:What is your passion?Do you have a dream and a vision?Have you written your goals down on paper?What steps are you taking to make your dreams a reality?Have you established your support system for encouragement?___________________________________________Tamyka Washington is a wife and work at home mom of five.

Fight Fat With Faith!


There's an old quote that says, "Exercise daily, walk with God." As women in the business world, it's easy to forget to take care of your most important asset-- YOUR HEALTH. If you've been struggling to lose weight, I'm sure you've come to realize that you can't do it on your own.

My new eBook, Fight Fat With Faith: Biblical Strategies For Weight Loss-- gives you both practical and spiritual tips to losing the weight and keeping it off.

Here are three ways to start a successful weight loss journey:

Change how you think about your weight loss. Forget all of the times you've missed the mark. Start making better choices within the next 24 hours. There will be times when it's not easy, but remember-- you must forget those things that are behind and press toward the prize. As a woman thinketh...so is she.

Have realistic goals. You don't have to set out to lose 75 pounds in the beginning. Setting unrealistic goals, leaves you discouraged and demoralized when you don't reach them. Start with a goal of losing 5 to 10 percent of your current body weight. So if you weight 200 pounds-- set a goal to lose 10 or 20 pounds. Once you achieve this goal, it will be easier to lose more.

Let go of all excuses. We all have excuses for not eating right and not exercising. "I'm too busy to cook." "I can't afford a gym membership." "I don't have the energy to exercise." "It's my metabolism." These negative excuses keep us in a cycle of failure when it comes to losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle. If you need wisdom on how to fit fitness into your lifestyle, pray and ask God for guidance. In James he says, "If any of you lack wisdom...let her ask God, who gives [it] generously without finding fault." (NIV)

In addition to a lower quality of life, the risks of being overweight are many (heart disease, diabetes, stroke, arthritis and some cancers). Initially, commit to cultivating a healthy mindset and the lifestyle changes (eating habits and exercise) will come naturally.
