My update as a SendOutCards distributor!

Have you ever felt like you’re under attack by some unknown force? Well this past week has been one for the record books. The whole family has been sick and we’re not talking about a few sniffles. It started when our three yr old came down with croup, then Sarah got sick and the youngest. Just when I thought I was thinking I might skate by without getting hit – it hit me hard!

Add to that, final projects at school for this quarter (college math is never fun!, and I liked math 20+ years ago LOL) Obviously I have left out a lot of details, I don’t want to start a pity party, but I always find it weird that anytime I start to make progress somewhere it seems the world starts to fall apart around us.

Now for the Good NEWS!

We got a new van, one that can handle more of the kids YEAH! and they all love it, I mean why wouldn’t they with a TV, DVD and VCR. I never new rides with the kids could be so quiet.

During all the chaos, we managed to send out some cards and add to our contacts in the SOC back office. It was pretty exciting to get calls from people thanking us for the cards. My mother-in-law is really excited about it as she sends cards all the time. This was good news, because I wasn’t sure how receptive she was going to be since she makes all her cards by hand. Her cards are always so creative and unique. Next time she’s in town she wants us to show her all about SOC.

I sent cards to my bosses at work hoping to show them the value of using the cards for our customers. Funny thing … they were approached a couple of weeks ago from another local distributor, and I don’t think their eyes have really opened up to the possibilities. I figure even if they don’t want to get involved, I have no doubt they will give me the go ahead to contact our customers.

Just think about how many businesses out there are in the B2B service. (that’s business to business) Businesses that serve other businesses. SOC is the perfect way to send out reminders, thank you’s and even marketing. Do you think a card will get thrown in the trash ?

I’ve managed also to get more of the main website together although not as much as  I would have liked. Hopefully I can open it up soon.

So that’s about all I have for now … I should be able to keep caught up now

Enjoy … Scott
