Steve Wilen, president of AmazingMail, can talk and conduct a meeting almost as fast as his high-speed printers. He runs a wonderful company in God’s country, Scottsdale, Arizona.

Other than business cards, I believe AmazingMail’s print-on-demand postcards should be one of the most often used forms of sales collateral. Here’s just one way I use them:

Recognizing the fact that e-mail has lost most of its luster, especially when contacting people who don’t know me, a personal note as a follow-up to a meeting or seminar can make me really stand out. While I do mail a lot of handwritten notes, time is just not on my side. Plus, my handwriting is terrible. Plus, plus, traveling with envelopes and stamps and notecards is a real pain. So what do I do?

I created a postcard template at AmazingMail using a scan of my book cover as the front image. After each meeting or seminar I type in a personal message, select the recipients and my postcards are good to go for less than $1.00 each (including postage). There’s no charge for file storage at AmazingMail and I get a detailed history of what I sent, who I mailed it to and when it went into the mail. Cool enough?

Here’s a company that’s taken the world by storm. You see evidence of their system in retail locations like Tesco and BestBuy as well as countless businesses that use their system throughout their enterprise (enterprises as small as 1 office!) to deliver a consistent message to employees, Prospects and Customers. The system is totally scalable, so it can work for virtually any company or non-profit. 

And, they’re good people. I’ve known Jeff Porter, a vice president at Scala, for years. In fact he was my customer when I was at U.S. Robotics and he was at Commodore Computers (the C-64 people).

Anthony Stagliano runs Audiomax and someone I recommend you get to know. He understands how to properly use technology to help sales people sell more, rather than have it get in the way. He has a terrific sense of humor, as evidence by his brief history of time on his website.
