Virtual Calendar

Email Marketing and Automation
Being able to stay in touch with you Clients, you prospects and even you “no’s and no show’s” is a super powerful way to become a front-of-the-mind option when the need or desire for your products arises. To do that effectively, you need a tool that makes it really easy to manage your email list and mail them consistently. Here are a few great options you can consider: ActiveCampaign Mailchimp AWeber and InfusionSoft –> both GREAT options, but they are a bit pricy and tech-intensive. Not my recommendation if you’re just getting started.

Automated Voicemail
If you want to confirm all of your appointments the day of but don’t want to bog down your office staff with endless phone calls, or pester your prospects with invasive calls, head over to www.slybroadcast.com. SlyBroad sends custom pre-recorded voicemails directly to your contact voicemail inbox at exactly the time you specify. The messages skip over the “call” and go directly to the voicemail so that your prospect can get your message without being disturbed and your office staff can free up more time without sacrificing the personal touch that your clients deserve.
Use my 5 step process, below, to get started.
- Sign up for SlyBroadcast
- Record a generic message (you can have the owner, the sales person or your administrative resource to record the message) but it should be generic enough to be used over and over again without having to re-record it each time.[EXAMPLE: Hi! This is ____ from ____. Sorry I missed you! Just calling to remind you that we will be coming to your home today for your Design Consultation. Be sure to check your email for our Appointment Affirmation. It has some great resources and covers all of the details! We are really looking forward to working with you today! See you soon! Thanks!]
- Name the message something that makes it easy to spot and use.
- Get MOBILE phone numbers when you set appointments (SlyBroadcast technology works best on Mobile)!
- Add an end-of-the-day task to your admin staff list and, before the close of each business day, have them go to SlyBroadcast and set up the calls to go out first thing in the morning to all of your appointments for the following day.
If you REALLY want to leverage this tool, you can set up calls throughout the project AND can even use it as a way to contact ALL past buyers with marketing messages. Just be careful not to wear out your welcome in their voicemail inbox!
