Wonder what that tool might be? Actually, Send Out Cards is one of a number of affordable ways for small business to initaiate CRM in their business. Figuring out what to track is the first step. That will help to decide how much is enough in the way of tools. Hmmm??? Wonder what that tool might be?

Measured results are the only way to chart success. Depending on our business goals; it is possible to get "big enough". This happens at our financial sweet spot. Then we need to retain those customer/clients we have and replace the attrition. I know a great tool to help accomplish this! Wishing You Plenty To Live, Tom Doiron Atlanta Hey Emile,

Wow! I think I have 84. Think of the power and value of those connections. Without tools like Facebook, staying in touch and interacting with 300 folks would be a chore. Instead, it's fun. 300! Wow!

I heard my daughter say, "Rome wasn't built in a day." and I laughed. Baby steps still keep you moving forward and don't get us so easily overwhelmed. I remember when I first got started with facebook and was amazed how many contacts some folks had. I am closing in on 300 contacts and I have been very particular about adding people. I must have a direct connection to add them as a "friend". Yes, that is a long way from the 5000 max, but substantial for me. It's a cinch by the inch.

My these are golden words. Nearly every successful business I know has established a network. They don't let their fingers do the walking every time they need a re-occurring product or service. If the business owners would stop to reflect on how these key contacts were initially established, then their appreciation for the value of networking would jump much higher.
