<_Allen> Welcome back Duane I was going to say that I need to personalize for Chad. I am helping him until he can get a computer.
*** wayner sets mode: +o DuaneC But overall, are the letters informative enough so that they can be easily personalized? FEED BACK? I think so just a little creativity and some thought yes they are Makes us ole adults have to think a little. LOL you are right lol Allen what do you think? The Boss is asking. SMILES who is using Worldcast?
<_Allen> Duane, I haven't had time to look through them, but based on everything else we've seen and what others are saying, I am confident they are excellent Karen has a version of their mailer and says she likes it better than the Group Mailer on a lot of aspects. Kewlness. Thanks Allen. I tried to set it up but got stuck part way Don't everyone speak all at once. SMILES I can help you with that too Donna good Donna, do you believe, overall, that instructions are easily followed? you will be my wizard ??
*** Mandy_L has joined #currieteam
*** _Curtis has joined #currieteam
<_Allen> Hi Mandy
<_Allen> Hi Curtis hey
<_Curtis> Hi I am trying to get all aspects for the Boss. Hi Curtis, Hi Mandy
<_Curtis> hi Welcome. Hi Mandy & Curtis
<_Curtis> Hi Duane.......by most people...... I'm not too bright with computers hey all Welcome Mandy Welcome Curtis Me neither, Donna. That is why I am asking.
<_Curtis> I have a agmail question. Hi Mandy, Hi Curtis
<_Curtis> hi hello hello:) Shoot Curtis.
<_Curtis> If I have route thru smtp server on failure check....
<_Curtis> will that be enough to cause a isp complaint if i...
<_Curtis> mail lets say 10000 emails at once
<_Curtis> ?\ Are you using Bulk Mode Curtis?
<_Curtis> no
<_Curtis> personal send
<_Curtis> but smtp on failure is checked How can you send that many at once?
<_Curtis> load them up Or do you mean that many all together. Hi Mandy & Curtis
<_Curtis> lets say half at one time
<_Curtis> 5k hey Maria Karen says that if they fail it usually means the addy failed.
*** kdcan has joined #currieteam
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o kdcan Hey Karen
<_Curtis> i will ask a second ? while this one is being mulled over
<_Allen> Hi Karen Hi Karen
<_Curtis> do our leads come at different times or to everyone at once?
<_tim_> Hi Karen
<_Curtis> hi
<_Curtis> Karen Hi everyone, Can one of you that has been here from the beginning save this one for me Hi Karen done Thanks Wayne :) So, I found out something about importing the information into the autoresponder I found out that if you don't think it takes you an extra hour You can take the information straight off of your DHSC member report
<_Allen> ha ha But you need to put it on a word pad, And replace all of the ,m,2 cool that makes it easier
*** Maria_s has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) first with nothing, That makes them all just firs,lastname,ID#,emailaddress Then you put it on a spreadsheet, remove the last name Save it in text and commas And on mine when I do that it puts "" around everything, Just put it back on the word pad and remove those and Voila ready to import Unfortunately I did not do the removal of the ,m,2 first and ended up having to take off a 1,000 commas at the end So you are not suppose to have commas at the end of the entries or it won't work right Took me an hour instead of 10 minutes oh no
<_Curtis> it is already comma delimited but now you know lol It is a neat autoresponder, I had the letters loaded in 5 minutes Yes
*** Maria_s has joined #currieteam
<_Curtis> yes i knew Yep welsome Back Maria
<_Allen> Hi again Maria I was a bit aggravated at myself
*** _Arden has joined #currieteam You have to take the lastnames out curtis
<_Curtis> Hi Maria hi!
<_Allen> Hello Arden And you have to take out the ,m,2 at the end of everything
<_Curtis> right Hi Arden Hello Arden For those of you who did not get any yet, The leads started coming in yesterday Good
<_Arden> Hi guys! I need to make some kitten food for some hungry kitties and I will be right back. Which means they will be coming in regular now
<_Curtis> they go out randomly or by direction? I just could not try to divide them in groups of 50 ,so I opted to send 1/2 of those who purchased 100 each, So the next 1/2 will get 100 each the next batch Okay Arden
<_Arden> Okay. I got about 100 leads. However, so far most of the e-mails have bounced and those that did not, the people are resigning as fast as I sign them up. Curtis I don't understand your question
<_Curtis> i got it, its ok
<_tim_> I have my 100 leads pluged in Arden if you get more than 50 that bounce send them to me and Rita will ask for replacements
<_Arden> Okay. That would be great! Great tim, Have you had a chance to look at the autoresponder I will give you a pro-version, as you are in this team and a part of our chats
<_Curtis> you mean send back only the ones that bounce once they reach 50, is that what i am understanding? Yes She will get them replaced Because they were suppose to be cleaning these up better I expect about 25% to be bad, that is normal but not 50%
<_Curtis> ok, thx
<_tim_> No I will saterday Okay Tim just write me when you are ready Donna, I know you are a bit intimidated with autoresponders, so if you just fix your letters I will set yours up for you And anyone else of course that is intimidated hehehe I will be glad to help although this one is a BREEZE Compared to the bamboobiz I am hoping more letters will get out to the people too
<_tim_> Ok My Typing is very slow I have gotten 2 letters from providers this week saying Bamboobiz has sent out a Virus, Bamboobiz, Swears that is not true, butttttttt And we could not mail to several domains because they rejected Bamboobiz So I am hopeful
<_Curtis> duane did you ever get a answer for me on that agmail ? That is okay tim
*** SherylC has joined #currieteam I am faster than most folks Welcome Sheryl Hey there Sheryl
<_Allen> Hi Sheryl karen I received the letters late last nite from me Hi, everyone! Hi, Allen!
<_Curtis> hi the first go around
<_Allen> Duane, I think I can answer Curtis's question about Agmail Okay Curtis, he thought I was answering you
<_Curtis> please do Okay you should not use your ISP as the back up hi sheryl
<_Curtis> ok
<_Allen> Karen just answered it With AGMAIL if they are bad emails they won't be delivered, so all you are doing is using your Smtp to send undeliverables Basically I'm behind. What are we talking about?
<_Curtis> hopefully we have the isp complaint taken care of now thx Several things, Curtis had a question about his Agmail
<_Curtis> right Cool, I never use my smtp to mail anything with
<_Curtis> do not check route on failure thru smtp server I only use direct send, and do not back it up That makes it pretty safe Yes Exactly Do not check to do that
<_Curtis> even if you are in the direct send mode Yes You want to send in direct send mode always That is what I loved about WorldCast because it sends in Direct send mode for free
<_Curtis> and no failure rerouting thru smtp And with the aureate you have to pay to do that Exactly Because the failures are bad email addresses anyway right Is everyone using Worldcast now? Yes We were also talking about how to import to the new responder easily using your geneology report I am I still use my aureate for welcome emails and stuff, but I am doing all my major mailings with the world cast
<_Allen> Forcing the bad emails thru an SMtp server just uses up a lot of bandwidth going out and coming back as undeliverables to your mailboxs It is 3 times faster than the aureate with my satellite Worldcast is AWESOME!!! Exactly Allen Okay, I must be dense, but where do you get the letters? All I see are blanks. Sheryl, Did you click where it says to get the letters?
<_Curtis> another ? Wayne, go and check and make sure it is up okay I must be overlooking that. I clicked on messages or something like that. k Okay Curtis go ahead
<_Curtis> who is not using the agmail program and using something else? Wayne will check it Thanks. I am using the worldcast for my big mailings
<_Curtis> i see you mean 1000's? Yes working fine Oh, Karen, finally got a response from Mark. He said that he took care of the other credit today and sent me confirmation. I only use my aureate for like Welcome letters
<_Curtis> and exactly what are you using agmail for in contrast Only because I have it already programmed and I can mail both at the same time this way
<_Curtis> i see Okay, I'll get back in it after the meeting. I just get more done You can use either one for follow ups and welcomes just as easily
<_Curtis> so you use both in conjunction one with the other Just the aureate is much slower for me Yesw Yes I meant
*** Retrieving #Currieteam info...
<_Curtis> what is your main database software You can, but I would not use them both for big mailings it would load your computer down Windows 98 Second Edition
<_Curtis> xp? Nope Just second edition
<_Curtis> i see XP has a lot of problems I have been told
<_Curtis> I dont find that to be so true It depends on your applications. That is good The Office XP does not have as many glitches as the home version.
<_Curtis> i use it and like it better myself I am in contact with another corporation who just launched a new CD, with licensing from Microsoft. Pardon me, all, but I just looked at iautorespond, but I don't see where it says "get letters." Where do I find that?
