Why SendOutCards?

Some of the greatest minds of the past century have been telling us the keys to success involve showing constant respect to others.

Abraham Lincoln stated that "everybody likes a compliment." This is how he ran our country and became the greatest political leader of all time, he simply complimented people.

William James said: "The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated." Notice the strong language he used. He said the CRAVING to be appreciated.

I can already hear you business minded people saying, "OK, this is all great, but what does this mean to my bottom line? How can I prosper financially by implementing these principles?" Let's answer that question with a true story:

A man by the name of Charles Schwab was picked by Andrew Carnegie to become the first president of the United States Steel Company. The year was 1921. Schwab's salary was $1 million per year. When asked why he was paid so much money, Schwab replied: 'I was paid this salary largely because of my ability to deal with people.' When asked how he dealt with people, he said: 'I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among my people the greatest asset I possess and the way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.' Charles Schwab went on to become one of the greatest business leaders of all time.

Dale Carnegie said: "We nourish the bodies of our children and friends and employees, but how seldom do we nourish their self-esteem? We provide them with roast beef and potatoes to build energy, but we neglect to give them kind words of appreciation that would sing in their memories for years like the music of the morning stars."

When was the last time you told your son or daughter that you were proud of them? Or your employee that they did a great job, or your wife or husband that you love them, or your friend that you appreciate your friendship, or your customer that you appreciate their business. Remember, we as human beings crave appreciation. When we show it, people will respond to us in the most positive ways possible.

Everyone has promptings to do these things but we seldom act on those promptings... The difference between success and failure in your life will depend on your ability to act on the promptings of sharing kind words or deeds.

There have been numerous studies in human development that suggest it is easier to express ourselves in writing versus in words. Send Out Cards gives you the tool to respond to your promptings instantly by expressing your appreciation in writing. And the best part, you can do it in seconds.

With today's technology, you can implement simple rules that will make a significant impact in your personal and professional life. You will be able to make a big difference for good in the lives of everyone you associate with.

With Send Out Cards, you will receive the following:

• Online Contact Manager where you can store names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdates and other key information about everyone you know.

• Online Calendar and Reminder system that will never let you forget birthdays or other special occasions that your people have.

• Online Greeting Card Catalog with over 2000 greeting cards to choose from. You select and write your message; we print, stuff and send in the mail for you.

• Transfer Group Lists to other Members: This gives you the ability to send your family list, complete with names, birthdates, etc, to other participating family members.

• Ground floor Opportunity: This product and service is in high demand. This provides a great opportunity for customers to rep resent the product as distributors where they can earn substantial income in a home based business.

• Custom Cards for Business or Personal use: You can design a card with your company logo and artwork. You can also design a family Christmas card or personal cards.

The personal benefits you gain are astounding:

1. You create and maintain lasting relationships, personally and professionally

3. You will motivate, encourage, uplift and show appreciation in ways that you never thought possible.

Your Relationships will be stronger, your self confidence will grow, your ability to express yourself will increase, you will change the world's pattern of negative thinking into positive thoughts and activities.
5. You will be remembered as someone who remembers
As a result of all of these things, new opportunities will surface in your life. You will meet and befriend people that will help you accomplish goals and dreams that you never thought were possible.

We also realize that personal development and relationship building are difficult to do when you cannot pay your bills. Financial stress is one of the biggest problems in our society today. Our dependency on money creates a strain that makes it difficult to focus on anything or anyone but ourselves. People need fair opportunities that will help them get themselves on the road to financial security and independence. A financially stable person is better able to focus on things outside of themselves.

Because of this, Send Out Cards provides financial opportunities that can not only bring financial stability but a vehicle for residual income and financial affluence. These opportunities can be done in the home where a person needs and wants to spend more time.

Business opportunities are created when you have a product or service that fills a need in the market place. Send Out Cards fills a huge need:

American Greetings, a multi billion dollar greeting card company, conducted a study to find out the buying habits and needs of their consumers. They found that the average consumer buys 10 greeting cards per year but has a need for more than 70 greeting cards. The 2 primary reasons they don't buy 70+ cards per year is due to 1) inconvenience, and 2) They forget. Obviously, Send Out Cards has created solutions to those problems and built a distribution system that will educate people on how to use their system. You can be a part of that system, fill a consumer need and make big money.

Send Out Cards offers a Ground Floor In-Home Opportunity. You can make big money from your home by sending out cards and sharing this unique concept. This is what you can expect:

A unique concept that is in high demand with little competition.

The ability to sell greeting cards on demand for less than retail value. The average greeting card costs $3.00. The retail price for a preferred customer at SendOutCards is $0.98. You can purchase cards for as low as $0.62 each.

Added Value with no extra cost. Not only do you get a printed greeting card, you get it stuffed, stamped and sent in the mail for you. You also get an online contact manager and calendar reminder system that is included in the price of the card.

Offer Follow-up services to businesses. These services include custom greeting cards, promotional postcards and pre-scheduled campaigns that businesses can send to prospects and customers.

Front-end Compensation that delivers big commissions fast.

Back-end Compensation that delivers residual commissions long-term

Your own internet website complete with shopping cart and credit card processing

Strong support from a distribution network that benefits from helping you succeed. You are in business for yourself but not by yourself.

The biggest challenge to any business is how do you sell the product and gain a customer and distribution base. This is where the rubber meets the road and most people fall short because they don't have the contacts or the experience to get the job done. The Send Out Cards opportunity is extremely unique because:

The Product sells the product! The number one activity we train our business associates to do is to Send Out Cards . Why? Because the product is so unique that people you send cards to will call you and ask you how you did it. This alone, creates an opportunity to share what we have. It's that simple, it works.

In addition, Send Out Cards uses the product to help its associates professionally contact their warm market with personalized postcards and greeting cards. You can make multiple lists of people and send them pre-scheduled campaigns on 4-color postcards and greeting cards. These cards are personalized with your name and their names on them. They are designed to get straight to the point. You found an incredible service on the internet that sends out printed greeting cards on demand; you will call them to show them how it works and set-up an account for them so they can send out cards.

Now when you contact your people, there is nothing awkward about your call. You simply say, did you get my postcard, and then you sample them with the product.

Set-up a sample account. You can put 1 to 10 greeting cards in their sample account, show them how to send out a card and then allow them to send additional cards, save contact names and review their own calendar with saved birthdays and special occasions. This works like magic. If a person or business takes the time to sample the system, they are sold almost every time. This is a fun and simple way for you to build a residual business.

Scary Statistics

There's a frightening trend in America.
What's worse... it effects even the hardest working, most deserving men and women.

Visit My Website Here

Out of 100 people that start working at the age of 25 - by the age of 65...
• 1 is wealthy
• 3 are still working
• 4 have enough money to retire
• 63 depend on Social Security or charity
• 29 are deceased

This information comes from a study done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it indicates that only 5% of people over the age of 65 are able to retire!

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be working until I die. I want to enjoy my "golden years" as much as the next guy.

Fewer and fewer people are putting their trust and faith in "Big Business," because the first rule for success according to J. Paul Getty is...

"You must be in business for yourself.
You will never get rich working for someone else."

Fight back against this frightening trend. Start today, building a business for yourself that can put you onto the fast track to success. The blueprint is written, and we're ready to hand it to you...

All you have to do is grab it!

We're changing lives one card at a time!

All the best,

Tips for Collecting Past Due Accounts Receivable

During a consultation with one of my clients this week, he proudly stated, "Don, our past due accounts receivable are down from over $100,000 in October to less than $30,000 at year end! I still can’t believe what a difference those simple steps made in our collection process.” Later the same day, I spoke with a prospect who told me that more than half of hiscurrent past dues were more than 120 days. “I’ve tried everything I know to try. I’m just going to have to start beating the bushes for more business or I’m not going to make it." If both continue down the same path, which one do you think will be the most successful?

My client has been very busy over the last few months taking action so he would NOT be in this position. Unfortunately, the second owner is typical of many business owners today. Complacency when things are going well can be an absolute killer. Sales were good. Profits were good. What else could you ask for? Did you realize that many businesses who closed their doors last year had record sales? Did you realize that many of them also had record profits? The difference between profits and cash flow can be the difference between success and mediocrity, or even failure. One of the worst drags on cash flow is lack of accounts receivable management. How do I know this? I have been through it personally and I learned the hard way that failure to properly manage your accounts receivable can seriously damage your bank account. I was once forced to write off more than $40,000 in receivables to two separate clients…clients that I trusted…clients that I did special favors for and let them slide when they were late. I did it because I liked them…and I trusted them. Big mistake when you let emotions cloud your judgement in the collection area. When that happened it was painful and I don't like seeing that happen to others when I know how it can be avoided.

But from all adversity, there is a lesson to be learned. Everyone needs a system for collecting accounts. A system alerts you to specific steps at specific times and takes the guesswork out of sending letters and making calls. A system uses a letter that has been proven to work again and again, a call script that has been proven to work again and again and utilizes it increase your cash flow and significantly reduce your past due accounts receivable.

To survive in business, you must always keep your finger on the cash flow pulse. Many business owners I know are so focused on sales and profits that they forget that profits don’t pay the bills…cash does. Some of the most cash flow challenged companies in the world are those that are growing the fastest. One of the best ways to keep the cash flowing is to manage your receivables with flawless consistency.

Make sure that accounts receivable management has dedicated space on your calendar every single week.

And remember, accounts receivable management is not an event. It's an ongoing process that requires regular action. It requires a plan, constant attention, and dedication. Complacency and procrastination can kill you.
