Just wanted to take time and say

I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.  Remember to send that someone special a card today. 

Did you know that at www.followuprobot.com you can chose from several real cards, write your own message inside or leave the preprinted on there or both and with your own handwriting and then they print it, they stuff it, they stamp it and they mail it.  All you did was type it.  Go to www.followuprobot.com and try sending one on me today!

Happy Valentines Day is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

As part of the Atlanta home inspectors team, I go around to different real estate offices and I was speaking to an agent the other day who is having a wonderful career.  She is closing sales and generating new business and leads like crazy.  Things are definately rocking and rolling right along for her.  I was nearly floored when she that she just does not have time to follow-up on all these leads.  But then, if you’re a business that is generating leads on a regular basis then we all suffer from this problem at one time or another, right?

Can you imagine how much business is slipping through your fingers because you don’t have time or simply don’t have a system in place to keep in touch or follow-up?  Does this sound like you?

Needless to say, if you did realize the importance and the business you could be missing then perhaps we should talk…

What I would like to know is do you have a marketing plan in place, a place where you can see your plan layed out, a system in place for lead generation, follow-up and keep in touch? Do you use an easy to use email system that keeps you in front of your clients?  Do you do this consistantly?  Is it part of your marketing plan?  And do you feel that you don’t have time or that these tasks are taking up time from other tasks you could be doing?  How much of this have you automated?

For more information on any of these systems, how they can help you get ahead of your competition, or perhaps how to implement them into your small business practices, contact me or let’s get together and start making plans now to be extremely busy in 2010. 

Call me today at 404-788-2580 and let’s talk! I look forward to helping you any way I can!

Are you generating leads and then not following up? is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

There are so many different ways to stay in touch now days, including different social media platforms. Even large Fortune 500 companies are jumping on the band wagon of Twitter. Now days you have to stay in touch with the consumer and you have to do it online and offline. I love Facebook and and Ping.fm to stay in touch online and of course email is still an option!  Are you using all the tools out there to keep you in touch.  Are you connecting with your clients and their friends on Facebook?  Are you posting video testimonials on YouTube?  Are you blogging about your day and your business on your blog?   Do you send out Thank You notes to your clients, referral sources and those you meet? These are just a few of the places that you can get connected through.  Put something to use today, you’ll be glad you did. 

I am the wife of a busy Atlanta home inspector and I do most of the marketing for our home inspection business.  I am constantly online learning about SEO, social network marketing, blogging, Google adwords and anything relating to the internet.  I teach classes and tele-seminars about blogging and social media.  I am part of an Internet Success Marketing Mastermind group and love helping people in general.  You can follow me on Twitter and on Face book.

Atlanta home inspectors wife says “Staying in touch = More Business! is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

As an Atlanta home inspector we are all the time having to come up with creative ways to keep ourselves on the forefront of our customers minds.  We found that 90 % of everyone will send a Christmas Card, a lot of business owners will send a Thanksgiving card thanking their clients for a great year and for their business.  But not many will send a card any other times of the year.  So what would happen if your client got a Happy Easter Card from you this week, affraid to send a Happy Easter card because of offending someone, not a problem how about a Happy Spring card, just something that says Spring is here or right around the corner and I just wanted to touch base and tell you that along with the things in spring that makes me smile, you also come to mind!  Have a terrific Spring. 

I hope this gives you another great tip on staying on your customers mind, so that when they hear some one talking about your business and what you do, you’re the first one to come to mind!

Easter Marketing tip from the Atlanta Home Inspectors Wife is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

Sending a card has a way of making you and the other person smile.  When I send an unexpected card it always makes me laugh when I get around the person and hear how it made them feel.  Making a person feel special is what SendOutCards is all about.  It allows you to act on a prompting no matter what time it is.  There’s no going to the store, then picking the right card, bringing it home, getting a stamp, and then mailing it.  You can easily sit down at your computer, log in, pick a card, fill out the inside (in your own handwriting if you want) and hit send.  Send out cards does the rest, they print it, stuff it, lick it put a real stamp on it and send it out.

Send Out a Card and Make someone smile! is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site

I was just crusing around on www.activerain.com and found this really great post by Judi Barrett talking about the way that we treat people.  I have often found that from the youngest to the oldest, we all still care about how people make us feel.  How people make us feel can be so life changing.  There is rifs in families, splits in churches, conflicts at work ans fights on school buses (this one I should know all to well) all because of how someone makes us feel.  As Judy put it so well we are the ones that have a choice.  I choose to laugh today and live today full of joy and let the rest of life roll off my back like water off a ducks back.  And while I’m living I will chose to try and make someone elses life a little brighter, a little funnier, or make someone else feel a little more special.  I’ve got a great start, my daughter just came in and told me good morning and I just told her “I have got to be the luckiest mom in the world!”  You should have seen her smile…. We’re off to a great day.

Another great way to make someone feel special today is to send an unexpected card to someone, want to try it, go ahead, click here to send a real card, with a real stamp and see what can happen.

This will be the second year without my grandmother and yes I miss her terribly but…. I know where she is at.  

There was one thing that my grandmother did for anyone that she loved and had a address for, she always sent them a birthday card, signed, sealed, hand addressed, stamped and mailed.  Now I especially found this funny because we lived right next door to her, and yet she mailed all of our cards.  I am the first to have a birthday in the year and last year I realized how much getting that birthday card in the mail truly  meant to me.  WHY? Because last year for the first time I didn’t get that birthday card in the mail.  Yes, my husband and my children gave me a card, but it just wasn’t the same.  I got e-cards from some friends but I was affraid to open them….you know the routine and the scare that went on with the e-cards. 

I didn’t realize that not getting that card would impact my life in such a dramatic way or that I would find a way to be the one to pick up the routine and be able to send those birthday cards that my grandmother sent to all my extended family with very little effort.  Last year I tried and sent out more belated cards than on time cards and it sure wasn’t the same.  Talk about guilt.  I ran across a system to use at www.followuprobot.com that I can put everything in at the beginning of the year and get everything out just like my grandmother did.  Thank you so much for send out cards…..I can send love one card at a time.

This will be the second year without a birthday card. is a post from: The Atlanta Home Inspector's Wife Marketing Site
