Some Kind Of Life

January 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone

The last couple of weeks have been somewhat hectic.

I have been putting together email campaigns for businessess and then all of a sudden the family’s 12 day beach holiday was upon me.

I was planning, organising and scheduling events so I could relax in style – that’s me doing nothing except lying around and watching the cricket.

It’s now Day 6 (Monday 18th) and I received a timely reminder this morning that life should be about contentment.

You see…

The kids disappeared somewhere…

It’s OK (somebody else can feed them today), and I was left to my own devices.

Well the T.V. went on but the cricket finished.  Damn those Australians – too good again !

So, I have found the next most interesting thing for me to do and that is:

  • write another post.

and for those who follow me it’s been a little while since I did this.

So, as I enjoy my life in contentment, let me leave you with a few words which I discovered last year during hundreds of email campaigns for businesses.

1. All businesses need to collect names and addresses of clients;

2.. All businesses need to inform customers about what’s happening inside the business;

3. All businesses have a story to tell their clients;

and there is no excuse NOT to do this.

Whether you use email, direct mail, telephone, flyers, newspaper ads, T.V., radio or a combination – if you wish to be in business then market.

It is not a person’s repsonsibility to find out what you do IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBLITY to let them know.

Bob Proctor says, “Success is a combination of Motivation and Education”

I can’t motivate you, you have to do that yourself.

but…

I can educate you if you wish to learn.

And as I said in my last post and in an email to my LISTS…

“Don’t make NewYear Resolutions MAKE New Year DECISIONS.”

So, as I contemplate what the next two hours will bring here at our Beach Holiday, I ask you what the next two hours will bring your business.

Are you ready to be educated about email marketing???

If so, send me an email and let’s get started.

Cheers and Great Selling

“I Was Wrong”

January 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone

I was wrong but I’ll tell you why in a second.

First though; have you made any decisions on how you are
going to occupy 2010 yet ???

For instance…

This time last year I wrote several articles about avoiding
making New Years’ Resolutions and replacing them instead
with New Years’ Decisions.

Three of my decisions in 2009 were:

  1. Stop watching the news on T.V.;
  2. Cease reading the newspaper;
  3. Continue creating a rewarding and successful email-marketing
    business for my clients to profit.

Now on reflection I am able to say my results were:

  1. My T.V. news watching was reduced to only a handful of nights;
    (Do you notice how the News is mainly ‘Bad News’ – Yuck !)
  2. I only read the weekend papers (I love the sports); and
  3. Many of my clients profited by email marketing strategies we employed
    for them during 2009.

Such as:

  • Sales of $39,000 worth of PVC Pipe in 3 days,
  • Restaurants filled with diners on normally quiet nights;
  • Breakfast meetings book-ed by the power of email;
  • Weekly remedial massages book-ed;
  • Clothing Sold to clients’ VIP Customers;
  • Seminar Seats organised around Australia;
  • Training courses filled;
  • Sign-Up for e-books recommended to my lists;
  • HR Manuals sold;
  • Beer sold at Hotels for VIP Customer nights;
  • Birthday Gifts happily welcomed by clients’ clients
  • and much much more.

I even had a major political party contact me about helping them.

The fact is many people whether using my email system and strategies

or…

on the receiving end of my emails, have vastly benefited from
email marketing.

It’s now 2010 and I have re-done my decisions for this year.

What about you?

  • Have you sat down and thought about what 2010 will bring you?
  • Have you sat down and written them out?

I once thought writing down goals was a waste of time and preferred
to have them in my mind.

but…

wait for it…

I was wrong

and…

now proudly place them on my Vision Board next to my
home computer so my family and myself can see where I wish to be
this time next year.

So…

Are your decisions going to be bold, up in lights and visible to all?

because…

Until they are, how can anyone help you achieve your desires when they
may not know what you are aiming for.

Cheers and Great Selling

To Make A New Year’s Resolution Or Not?

December 30, 2008 By 2 Comments

Hi Everyone

New Year upon us and do we make a resolution or not.

Most of us don’t keep them so for 2009 I am going to change my thoughts and NOT make a New Year’s Resolution,

instead…

I am going to make quicker and more decisive decisions starting with this one.

I am going to cease watching the six o’clock news stories except for the sport and weather.

You  see there is too much gloom and doom being processed through the news and I wish to remain distant from it and to stay positive.

As the saying goes…

“Success Breeds Success”

and you will not find this if you keep watching the news.

I’ll keep up to speed on the world by on-line news and the paper I buy each day.

That way I can skim over most of it and hone in on the stories which intrigue me, not the ones a news editor wishes to telecast.

There ya go.

Probably is a Resolution for the pedantics

but…

for me it’s a DECISION.

Heers hoping you make some great decisons in your life for 2009.

See you next year.

Cheers and Great Selling

Kurt

PS: Let me know what your 2009 decisons are going to be – I am interested.
