kdcan I hear you tim
LisaP oh yes we are.
Wayne_o Tim, Type this exactly as you see it:    /nick Tim_H
Wayne_o Karen, what is happening?
Wayne_o there seems to be something weird going on in here
Wayne_o Good job Tim
kdcan If you have not picked up a new VIP yet then you can bet you will
kdcan What Wayne?
kdcan Wayne?
kdcan Are you there?
LisaP Is my computer the only one working? This is all so confusing, watching this.
Wayne_o yes
kdcan Okay,
kdcan What is happening ?
Wayne_o Everything seems to be OK now
kdcan Okay I am going to take a chance that everyone can see me
kdcan We picked up about 8 VIPs between the first 9 people who set up the new systems
LisaP go ahead Karen
RonB I can see
RonB Y
kdcan I just heard from a girl today that said wow I have not talked to you in months
kdcan That is because the Bamboobiz was not mailing her
Wayne_o oh wow
kdcan She is thinking of upgrading
LisaP wow
kdcan Yes she was like where have you been?
LisaP great
RonB Hi
kdcan So this is going to work and work well
kdcan I am very pleased with the preliminaries
RonB took me three trys
kdcan As a matter of Fact FayeAnn she is another MOM
RonB y
kdcan So I am pleased. Wayne had a great idea today, Would you like to present it Wayne?
RonB busy with the leads
Wayne_o Great!
LisaP helloooooo
Wayne_o ok
RonB hope so with vip's
Wayne_o I was giving some thought
DuaneC Go ahead Bro.
Wayne_o to how we could make some kind of contact with our free members
Wayne_o I don't type that fast
LisaP :)
Wayne_o and I thought how about another survey
DuaneC ;p
LisaP hmm
Wayne_o This would give our free members a chance to maybe express them selves
Wayne_o and us a chance to talk to them
RonB yes
tim_h i seen program "mail extracter"  on a members web page today
Wayne_o other wise, we just keep on mailing them and they never answer
kdcan I think the idea is a GeM
Wayne_o Thanks Karen
tim_h any body know how i can get that program and password
kdcan You would have to know how many VIPs I heard from from the survey
Wayne_o but we need some input
RonB great
kdcan It was unreal
LisaP sounds like a great idea to me.
kdcan So this is a way to get some communication going
Wayne_o yes
Wayne_o exactly
kdcan Now We need for each of you to come up with 2 or 3 questions
kdcan We can use this with our team and yours David
kdcan It is a great thing if you want to do it too
kdcan Try to think what you can ask that would open up communication and let you know how we can best get them to upgrade
kdcan And have your questions ready for next weeks meeting
LisaP ok
kdcan What do you think Wayne would that work?
Wayne_o that would be cool
Wayne_o absolutely
kdcan What does everyone else think?
Wayne_o and then we can put it together and give it a test run
DuaneC I will ad my 2cnts. worth.
FayeAnn I like it!
LisaP I love it.
kdcan What about you RonB and RonS?
FayeAnn I'm real curious on why people join in the first place
kdcan Me too FayeAnn
Wayne_o me 3
Wayne_o hehehe
kdcan Keep in mind that people really want to know that we are real
kdcan And that they are not going to be a number
Wayne_o that's just it
LisaP definately.
DuaneC After all, that is one of the basis of the DHSC
kdcan And people love it when you ask for their opinions
DuaneC They say you are a real person, not a number in a downline.
DuaneC Yada, Yada, Yada,
kdcan As I found out:)
kdcan Okay then we will give that a try for this coming week. The co-op leads are finally beginning to speed up as well
kdcan So that is good news
kdcan I just distributed some more before the meeting
RonB samples??  to think about
kdcan Hmmmmmm
RonB love it
DuaneC What do you look for in a profitable online business you can promote?
kdcan But we need agrees and disagrees
kdcan Like I think DHSC could be a profitable online business
kdcan Strongly agree, Somewhat agree, Disagree, Strongely Disagree
kdcan Like that
Wayne_o yeah
DuaneC Do you think an online business is easy to promote?
kdcan I feel like I know my sponsor in DHSC
kdcan Well, Somewhat, I have never spoken to them,
kdcan I would like to know them better
Wayne_o maybe, what are you looking for in a home based business
RonB any one whio responds to the survey should get a  thank you greetind card.
kdcan Things like that
DuaneC Do you think that tools such as autoresponders and optin lists can help you achieve your business goals?
RonB typings bad today
Wayne_o Hey, you are good!
LisaP very good.
Wayne_o go karen
DuaneC Do you believe a company can still utilize the human touch through the internet?
kdcan Yes RonB that is Excellent
RonB Does DHSC have special email cards to various occasions?
kdcan That really gives the personal touch
kdcan And we can mail it from our own systems
Wayne_o yes for sure
kdcan That way we get personal answers and give that personal touch
kdcan Then I will send a personal card to everyone that you tell me responds
LisaP Bluemountain has the best variety of cards that I've seen.
kdcan That gives the upline touch too
kdcan Yes they are goo
kdcan I mean good
kdcan So there are some ideas but be creative
kdcan What about this:
kdcan I would be more likely to join DHS if I knew my sponsor on a more personal basis
kdcan Yes, Maybe, No, Not sure
kdcan Or Upgrade is the better word
Wayne_o awesome ideas
DuaneC Very Good
Wayne_o is everyone here logging this meeting?
Wayne_o yes that's excellent
kdcan I am familiar and know what Benefits that DHS offers
kdcan Agree, Disagree yada yada yada
kdcan I am logging it
LisaP I would like to receive DHS info......more frequently, less frequently, about the same.
LisaP ???
kdcan I have got to be sure to post this one
kdcan Quicker than I sometimes do I mean
kdcan GREAT lisa
kdcan That is it you are getting it
Wayne_o saving the meeting in a text file Lisa
kdcan Wonderful
kdcan Okay does anyone have any questions or other things they would like to discuss tonight?
LisaP tell me again how to log it, Wayne.
Wayne_o in this window, at the top left corner, what looks
Wayne_o like a blue book

Wayne_o click it and click Buffer this time
Wayne_o and then save and log as

Wayne_o Yes I meant to ask you that Karen
LisaP cool. thanks Wayne
kdcan Nope I have heard they were thinking about Las Vegas
Wayne_o :-)
kdcan But nothing definite yet
Wayne_o hmmm
kdcan I will probably know when everyone else does
kdcan That is usually the case
Wayne_o as soon as you know....
LisaP I could get into ALOT of trouble in Las Vegas. :)
Wayne_o hehehehe
kdcan You are me both
kdcan Absolutely a lot of trouble
Wayne_o well we could do it together
Wayne_o hehe
kdcan Yes that is true
kdcan Okay guys any other thoughts questions suggestions?
LisaP actually I did pretty good when I went to Atlantic City last year.

*** RonB has joined #currieteam
RonB hi all
LisaP I'm scared of flying, these days.

kdcan We have a bigger Karoke machine now
kdcan A professional one
tim_h have a mailer problem     send   600 email   and they shut the mailer down
Wayne_o cool
LisaP hot dog.
kdcan Who shut your mailer down?
kdcan Tell us what is happening Tim
tim_h hotpop.com
kdcan Who is that?
tim_h shut down because of mass emailing
kdcan I would suggest to you Tim that you get a $10 a month version of netzero
FayeAnn Who is your ISP TIm?
kdcan Then be careful NOT TO SEND except in Direct send
kdcan And Do NOT USE BULK MODE
tim_h david
kdcan Which mailer are you using?
FayeAnn sorry.. David
tim_h hotpop.com
kdcan I am not familiar with that, That is your ISP?
FayeAnn  hotpop.com  Who are they?  AOL is really bad... no bulk mailing what so ever
LisaP I'm lost
tim_h direct sends the mail one at a time?
tim_h isp is earthlink
Wayne_o hehe
kdcan We do not use anything like that, We use the AGM Aureate mailer or the world cast
Wayne_o ahhh
kdcan Earthlink is not a business ISP
FayeAnn What???? I have earthlink
kdcan They are not usually friendly toward it
FayeAnn What????
FayeAnn I have had no problems
kdcan Apparently you must be doing okay though
kdcan That is good
Wayne_o yes
FayeAnn Matter of fact I asked them that question before I signed up
kdcan Well we have used one that is TOTALLY unfriendly to business's for almost a year
kdcan Really?
Wayne_o and they said go for it
kdcan Then maybe they have improved
kdcan Good
FayeAnn They didn't have a problem with it unless someone scream spam
kdcan Good
kdcan Well if you do your mailings correctly that should not be a problem
tim_h thanks for mailer info!
Wayne_o try Worldcast Tim
kdcan I think you need to try the worldcast too Tim
tim_h what is correct?
kdcan That is the ticket, Send in direct mode and you should not have any problems
kdcan Correct is sending in Direct Send mode for one thing
tim_h ok
kdcan For another thing you always need to identify where the email address came from
kdcan For example if from an ffa list
kdcan Thanks for posting to my ffanet page, Please post again http://blahblah blah
kdcan Or if from gathered from people who have sent to you.
tim_h i didn't see where i could say the address came from
kdcan Start off with, I received your email and thought you might be interested in this
kdcan You do that in the first part of the email you send
tim_h ok
kdcan Then always make sure to include Removal instructions
kdcan An absolute MUST
kdcan If you do those 3 things you will not have any problems
tim_h i'm get a lot of mail from dhc members
kdcan That and only mail to those who have mailed to you or opt-in list sources
LisaP we are growing
kdcan You always need to say where you got their email though
kdcan Almost all lists make you do that
LisaP brb
tim_h how do you get the removal to work
kdcan Except for ones that you just put the info in and they do the mailing
kdcan I just put this at the end of my letters
kdcan You have received this because you sent me an email or you posted to my page, If you wish to be removed simply type REMOVE in the subject and reply to me. I will honor your wishes promptly
kdcan Then DO IT
kdcan Then if they ask to be removed I make sure to REMOVE them
tim_h add it    do i have to edit mail address in  for it to remove
LisaP ok. I'm back.
kdcan I am confused as to your questions
kdcan I mean question
kdcan edit mail address in?
tim_h ok  thanks
kdcan They should be able to hit reply and type in REMOVE and it should come to you with REMOVE in the subject
kdcan Then you remove them
LisaP Are you trying to program it to remove all removals automatically?
kdcan I also use different email addresses with whatever I am mailing to
kdcan Like one address for my ffanet email addresses and etc
kdcan that way I know which list to remove them from
tim_h the removal statement  at the end of the amil
tim_h email
kdcan You type that in
kdcan Yourself
tim_h how do you program it?
kdcan Where are you getting the email addresses from?
kdcan You don't
kdcan You put it in your letter you are sending out
kdcan Put it at the bottom of your letter
tim_h ane remove it yourself?
kdcan Yes I remove people who ask to be removed manually
kdcan I take them off of my lists
kdcan What lists are you using?
kdcan Unless it is somewhere like myebiz, then they have to write them to remove them
kdcan And those instructions go into the letter
LisaP what about Promasoft, Karen?
kdcan Well that is true Lisa it will remove them for you
tim_h address i copied from 4-1-1 com
kdcan But it is an expensive program
LisaP true,
kdcan Okay then you need to say, I got your address from your website at 411.com
kdcan And Thought you might be interested in this
kdcan Then at the bottom give them removal instructions and do not mail to that person again if they ask to be removed
kdcan You see a letter can NOT BE CONSIDERED SPAM
kdcan If
tim_h ok
kdcan You had prior business contact with them and if you get their address from their public website then it is public knowledge
kdcan And if you tell them where the address came from
kdcan And if you include removal instructions
kdcan So those are the rules not to get shut down
kdcan I have not had one complaint this whole past year
tim_h i know i'm getting a ton mail from all this advertiseing
kdcan As a matter of fact I have only had complaints one time and that was when I suckered into buying a CD with email addresses a VERY WRONG MOVE
kdcan That is normal, I have over 30 email addresses
kdcan 20 or so of which is for junk mail
kdcan We simply clean them out each day
kdcan We usually use email.com for those because you can program it to display 1,000 at a time
kdcan and you can remove 1,000 at a time
kdcan Makes it quick and simple
LisaP hmmm.
kdcan We have one address just for cgi submissions
kdcan We have one for our personal autoresponder
kdcan We have one for VIP follow ups
kdcan We have one for our personal email
kdcan We have one for our member follow ups and welcomes
kdcan We have one for the welcome committee only
tim_h i just switch to email.com because of the junk mail
kdcan Does that give you an idea
kdcan You need to use junk email addresses
kdcan Ones that you set up just for the junk email
kdcan Put the real email address you want them to write you at inside the email it's self
DuaneC Email.com sometimes will not confirm a list email address.
kdcan That way if they just want to send you their spam they will send it to the junk email address
RonB must go... thanks for the info bye
kdcan And if they do want to really reach you then they will use the one inside the email
DuaneC We have had that trouble with a few sites. Not all, just a few.
kdcan You are welcome RonB, Have a good one
LisaP nite RonB
Wayne_o I do the same thing Karen
*** RonB has left #currieteam
kdcan It just makes it easier
Wayne_o that way I can keep track of things
kdcan You can spend HOURS sorting your email and miss important emails if you don't
kdcan We keep a notebook with all the email addresses and passwords etc
kdcan We also keep a notebook with all of our advertising sites
LisaP I've got to set up new ones.
kdcan And whether or not to mail to them weekly daily every other day or what
kdcan Then we just flip to that page do our advertising and go on
kdcan You can mail to 50 sites a week that way effortlessly
DuaneC We also have one note book with all the pertinent site URLs and usernames and passwords for quick access.
kdcan And I personally use every FREE opt-in or safe list I find
DuaneC Can not always depend on your favorites folder. LOL
kdcan That is for sure
kdcan Okay guys is there any other questions?
kdcan Okay then, Well I think we have had a great meeting this week
kdcan And I pray all of you have a wonderful week to come
LisaP yes, we have.
LisaP once we got past the initial problems.
LisaP :)
kdcan And if there are no further questions, Yes after the initial weird problems,:)
kdcan Then I guess we will adjourn
kdcan You guys have a wonderful week
LisaP I second that motion.
LisaP :)
kdcan Cool
kdcan See you guys next week
LisaP bye all.
*** LisaP has left #currieteam
kdcan Nite everyone
