The direct marketing thread

[expat]

The kid will have another b-day next year - today never comes back - if you lose the phonecalls of today it will never come back. Hit the phones.

I've often heard the comparison between things that you can do tomorrow, and things that will never come again.

But this is the first time I've seen it presented as "your kids will always be there" versus "work-stuff that will never come again".

I hope it's the last time.

"Dear whomever it may concern".

Good enough for the tenner?

Go forth and mutiply my child.

HTH

Well done that man! Atom Heart Mother now on to drown out baby noise for half an hour or so, just to get a few words down.

A networking event, where you meet over breakfast.

Will Molly Ringwald be there?

Absolutely. Five is old enough to be in public school anyway. Pack the annoying little distraction off for another 11 years and rake in the dosh in the meantime.

I'm trying to write my initial contact sales letter. And the baby keeps wailing and breaking my concentration.

What you need is a shed.

Sadly no. It is an open source CRM product that I have decided to use.

What is it you're selling? You might as well post your 'elevator pitch' here, you never know

I'm likely to have to start similar letters soon, maybe even producing brochures and stuff. One issue is, who are you targetting? Many companies who want software developed aren't in IT themselves, so this can greatly affect the kind of language you need to use.

b*gger it. I'm trying to write my initial contact sales letter. Got writers block. And the baby keeps wailing and breaking my concentration.

Can someone start me off?

Dear Sir or Madam,

CRM tool of choice is SugarCRM

Just configuring the email campaign tool. Emails getting stuck in the queue at the moment.

It's php based, but there is a .NET port called: SplendidCRM I suppose they wouldn't let them call it SplendaCRM

Dear Sir or Madam,

Friend

All dodgy sales pitches start 'Dear Friend' or 'Dear Fellow <someone>'
