Notes From Mandie's Desk January 3rd 2008

Dear

Every year since Roaring Women Launched - we have focused on a theme- one thing that if we all work at for 52 weeks - will push our businesses further forward.  Last year we focused on Law of Attraction, and exponential thinking - thinking from the end.  And what a great boost that was to all of our businesses!

Marvelous Marketing Mavens
In 2008 - since we are now experts at attracting what we need to grow - lets put our faith into action and focus on marketing our businesses.  And when I say marketing - please do not think of that same old-same old blah blah blah - I want to focus on EXPLOSIVE marketing ideas.  Let's do something different!  And I have just the tool to get things started... but first......

When I grow up I want to be Troy White!
As many of you know my good friend Troy White is a marketing GENIUS. Not only does he write great copy - but he has ideas that are so simple and yet so effective.  I have already used many of his ideas and decided that it is time I passed his secrets on to you.  I admire his creativity - but mostly I admire his down to earth attitude and desire to help small business.

Million Dollar Day by Day Marketing Tool
Troy has created what I believe is the million dollar marketing tool.  It is a Marketing Calendar with so many ideas in it - that if you used each one of these ideas for 1 year - there is no way you could fail in your business. 

Now that may sound like a huge statement - however - as soon as I opened this calendar - I realized the piece of work that it really was. 

In fact I am sooooo excited about it - that if you buy this and think it is not worth the price he is asking - $69.00 - then I might just strap on my runners and hoof it to wherever you are to return your money in person.  This 2008 Marketing Calendar is just the tool we all need. 

In fact - I will also be putting together a supplementary monthly conference call together to discuss ways each of you can use this Calendar to its maximum potential.

PS.  If you hate reading long copy - just scroll down and order the Calendar for $69.  It comes with my personal guarantee - You will not regret ordering this!

You can order this Calendar here

And who could market their business without a phone?
If you are spending more than 40 dollars a month on your phone services - chances are that you are spending more on your telephone than you are on your marketing.  As s small business owner - I know how phone bills can add up.  And one of the services I highly recommend is having a 1 800 number.  Please check out need to know below for more information - you should not be overlooking this!

NEED TO KNOW

Having a 1 - 800 number raises the prestige level of your business - and you can have a 1-800 line for as little as $5 a month - including long distance!

Our special phone services include the following - and more:

  • anywhere Canada, US - N/C (no charge)
  • call forwarding- N/C
  • caller ID display - N/C
  • voice mail sent to your computer as well as voice mailbox
  • call out from cell through home phone (no charge long distance for your cell - this is huge and will also cut your cell bills) N/C

Over the past 6 months I have saved $1200.00 on my phone bill.  I have a 1-800 line as you know for $4.99 a month for 100 incoming minutes.  And my regular line costs me about $34.00 a month for all the features I need. 

In fact while I am traveling I get all my calls forwarded or receive them in  my email.  If you are paying over $45 a month for your business phone you need to look for a better deal here.  (we have arranged this for you too!) My bill has never gone over $49.00!  Last year at this time it was $250.00
