An autoresponder is a huge time saver. It can make you more efficient and a better team leader as well as provide your customers with GREAT customer service.

How can I save time and make more money with my email efforts?

Where do I begin to organize my team training materials?

How can I more efficiently follow-up with all my clients?

And, what IS an auto responder?

Question: How can I organize my training and emails to my team and customers? I'm spending too much time emailing and am not getting the results I need. Plus, I can't keep up with who's gotten what information. HELP!

Response from Nicole  ...   You may not know it, but your life is about to get a lot easier. How would you like to have emails and training automatically going out to your team members as soon as they sign up -- set up so you do nothing? Sound hard? ;) It's super easy!

You can get automated follow up AND a mailing list combined in an Auto-Responder. I can't believe how painless it is to set up training courses for my teams with an autoresponder program. Just add a bunch of emails starting with your "Hi ((firstname))! Welcome to (comany's name)". The autoresponder will fill in the person's name and automatically send the series of messages in order on the dates you request (every 4 days, every week, however you want). So, your brand new consultant will be getting message #1 while your consultants from last month may be receiving message #5.

When you get a new recruit or customer, you simply enter their information into the autoresponder and your recruit will receive the first message and automatically get the entire series in order without your having to do anything! And, a good auto-responder will check the messages to see if they'll be blocked by spam filters and give you suggestions of terms to change to avoid the dreaded filters.

The best thing about a good autoresponder program is that it will support multiple lists, so you can also set up a list for your customers. After your client's first order, enter them into your autoresponder. Set it up so they receive a message a week or so later to ask how the product is working for them. Then, they are in your list and will receive all the specials you promote, forever.

No more juggling email lists. Never be accused of S P A M.

I'll be moving my newsletter list over to auto-responder since it's made everything else in my life so much easier. I already have 5 mailing lists set up in my one autoresponder account and intend to move much more over there. You'll see what I have in store... ;)
