“Every time I send out an email, I get a sale in 15 minutes. Overall, I get up to four times as many sales with these newsletters than I did

Create and increase awareness.“The emails are an important reinforcement of
brand. I get calls from people I’ve never met all the time. They get the newsletter, or a friend of theirs
gets the newsletter, and they know I’m the person to call. It really helps establish credibility upfront.”

people. If we have a slower day and know that we want to reach local people, we can create a quick email and will get at least a few calls right away.”
