Money Making Secret #1 - PROTECTING Your Business'

Most Valuable Asset - Your Database

Gary called me from Laguna Beach, California asking if I would send him
another copy of my database of Radio Talk Show stations who
interview guests by telephone.

He explained that when the Southern California fires hit, he and his
wife drove away in their twin Mercedes with ONLY the clothes on
their backs. They lost their home, all their clothes, their business
computers-and their database of clients.

After sympathizing with him about his losses, I assured him that I'd
send him a replacement of the talk show database he lost in the fire.
Then I turned my attention to his other loss. I asked "Did you have
YOUR CLIENT database backed up?" He replied, "Yes, and I keep
my backups ... RIGHT NEXT to my computer."

Does this story sound familiar?
OUCH! What a sad story that was only tempered by the fact that
he had another backup that was six months old in his bank's
safe deposit vault.

He was able to salvage only a small part of his 3,500 client database.
Just think how much simpler and more profitable his business life
could have been had he followed this advice:
#1 Back up daily ... or even HOURLY, if your data is that important.
#2 Back up offsite weekly (trade with a friend).

For the record, my computer houses a database of over 25,000 contacts.
This list includes CIPA's membership database, CIPA prospect list,
all my clients, past customers, every student who has ever been in
my seminars, plus my friends and family. A very extensive and
comprehensive list.

This database is kept in Filemaker Pro, which has been customized
to include: EVERY phone call I make, EVERY birthday of
friends/family/clients I can capture. It also includes EVERY prospect
I've ever talked with. (They will be ready to be a client someday.)
I backup this data daily on a 100mb ZIP disk. Then once a week
I schedule a bagel/coffee meeting with longtime friend and software
developer Larry Barnhart. The exchange of ZIP disks must look like
a drug sale to outsiders ... of course, we keep everything in plain sight
and enjoy our coffee and bagels while we 'people watch.'
Now, wouldn't you love to sleep more soundly EVERY night?
Just go back three paragraphs and follow steps 1 and 2, and YOU WILL.
G'nite.

Secret #2 - Want to Do a Trade,
Denver Area ONLY

If you live in the Metro Denver/Boulder area, let's talk TRADE.
Twice a year I update my Radio Talk Show database of OVER 920
radio talk shows who interview guests by phone.
In addition, I also update the databases of Program Chairpersons
and Association Executives who need speakers.

I believe ... Time IS money. If you have time available, let me offer you
the following. I invite you to come to my office (near Denver University
in Southeast Denver.) I provide a script to use in calling these
three groups. I demonstrate the proper way to get the best results
in calling these folks and updating their records.
You invest either 4 sessions of 3 hours each, or 3 sessions of
4 hours each ... a total of 12 hours in calling to update these lists.
In return receive IN RETURN, either the Radio Talk Show database
of 920+ shows who interview guests by phone, or the lists of
365 Program Chairs AND 375 Association Executives ...
either group = $150 value.

AN EXTRA PLUS: You'll gain experience that will make outbound
phoning a JOY, a PROFITABLE PLEASURE. You may discover that
some of these contacts will want to BOOK YOU ON THE SPOT.
Call Joe Sabah at 303-722-7200. There are a limited number of days
for us to get this accomplished.
PS You may want to consider a TRADE in your business. Time and
talent for ???

Happy trading.

Money Making Secret #3 - Where do you echo?

Bud Gardner, editor of Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul explains:
" When you SPEAK, your words echo around the room and maybe
down the hall.
" When you WRITE, your words ECHO THROUGHOUT ETERNITY!"

Bud wrote and sold 60 articles before taking over the writing for
publication program at American River College, Sacramento,
California, in 1977. To date, his students have sold more than
3,000 articles and 110 books, earning more than $3 million from
their writing, reaching an estimated 500 million readers worldwide.

PS I'm re-reading books from speakers/authors who are now
reaching me 'from beyond the grave.' Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's
writings are as meaningful today as they were in 1970. He died in
1993 at age 96 writing his 46th book.

Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" written
in 1937 is STILL IN PRINT ... Echoing throughout Eternity.

What challenge are you considering that will echo your words and
thoughts throughout Eternity?
