One of my least favorite parts of putting together my mailers is printing out the envelopes.  The reason is that I have to stand at the ready with a new stack of 7 envelopes (7 is the max I can fit in the Manual Feed Tray at one time) to feed into the printer.  The [...]

missing

I must admit, I’m struggling right now.  We haven’t had a deal in just about a year and I have no idea why.  Seems like everyone around us, who are doing the same things we are, are finding deals and we aren’t.   Our call volume is pretty good, but it seems that nobody is motivated enough to [...]

NJAR

If you are not aware, I have a Real Estate License and pretty much just use if for the MLS Access.  Even just for that purpose it was worth the $1200 a year to keep it active.  The ability to get comps when ever I wanted was key in my world of limited time.  Even [...]

Take_Me_Off_The_List

For everyone who is sending out direct mail, have you ever accidentally sent letters to people who have called and asked off your mailing list?  I recently did and it pisses people off something fierce to say the least.  I haven’t checked the laws on this but I’m pretty sure it falls under similar things [...]

SI Lead Manager Beta 6 – Letter Templates Preview

February 26, 2013 by Scott Costello Leave a Comment
lead manager, word, letters, direct mail

In previous versions of SI Lead Manager you had to create your letters within the program.  This letter editor was very basic and made it tough to do anything other then create the simplest of letters.  I had many requests to add pictures, do special formatting, add headers and footers or even use water marks.
