Drip You!

Looking forward to that day!

drip.......drip.......drip......DROP!!!!!

Drip email is the best thing since sliced bread.

It keeps you in front of your potential clients and then, when they need you, they know who to call.

I love it!

Congrats Lonn, What do you say in your drips and how often do you drip and do you call people at any time???

Lonn,

Congratulations!

I am curious...do you use the ones that point2 created, or do you customize your own?

Laurie

Ok Lonn, I am just drooling over your drip...

I know you customize your drips, I may have to sign up for your drip mail to copy you, Is that wrong?

I would settle for the drool list as I do not like the P2 drip

LOL @ Mary signing up to be a fake customer to get the drip emails......

Becky, desperate times call for desperate measures. LOL

At least I told him and didn't sneak behind his back-LOL

Drip . drip . drip: I wrote about this in my What's an Incubator? article.

Point2 does a great job in helping us incubate our leads with the drip email system.  I have some prospects I've been working with off and on, and every now and then one of them calls me up to remind that they're still interested in, and thanks for staying ion touch!

As for advertising - what we found in these parts is about 60 - 65% of our leads come off of signs.  And another 15% of our leads are generated though the Internet.  That's a whopping 75 - 80% on signs and the Internet.  All other media (newspapers, this magazine, that magazine, etc.) do about 2 - 3% each, and make up the remaining 25 - 30%.  

If you took out the signs, then the only media that's really helping is the Internet! So, it's very apparent that the only advertising that's getting us the most bang for our buck is the web.  All other media costs a lot more, and they're generating only 2 - 3% each for leads. They're definitely NOT worth the cost.

yeah the reality is most people just aren't doing anything to keep in contact with customers so just clicking drip is a huge start. I know I'm guilty of underdoing it myself. It doesn't take something great it just takes something. I am starting with the point2 ones and will customize them later.

I am going to sign up on Lonn's website RIGHT NOW! :)

Love your blog entries and the 7 secrets!! I too would like to see the custom drips you have designed. I have a couple as well primarily to get buyers to sign up for home searchs. You and I have been going back and forth in Ohio for #1 and #2 Spots in the index! Thanks for your great information!

Lonn,

I must be doing something wrong as I just had a request for removal so I'm coming to subscribe at your site to. :)

Seriously though, I've only been using it for a couple of months and I have had a few nice replies.

How often do you send yours?  Is once a week too much?  Appreciate any advice on this.

Lonn, I agree the drip e-mails are wonderful. I will closing on the 5th with an investor that I got from my website and converted via my investor drip program.

Lonn,

Drip e-mail is a great idea and saves me a lot of time from making phone calls and keeping in touch with new Buyer/Sellers. I am getting  quite a few replies from new buyers.

The guy that invented drip emails ought to get a Nobel prize.

Drip frequency is a tough call. Most of ours are on 23 days.

Why 23? Well, it keeps people from always getting an email on the same day of the week. I think it makes it look less auto-generated that way. I avoid 7, 14, and 21 day drip cycles for that reason. In my experience, going more frequently than that tends to be too much. Some will say it's not often enough. But it's working for us.

Ok, I've not seen any "drip emails" yet...Didn't think we could read Point2's unless we we profesional level...so I guess I'm going to have to sign up to read some of you guy's (is that a word???).  Looking forward to all the great reads!  Shelly

It would be great to send out a monthly newsletter on a drip-anyone know how?

Lonn,

I'm curious too.  I will sign up as a colleague.

Carol

Lonn,

Let us know if your Point 2 index goes up with all these new prospects!

Carol

Lonn, give me a week and I will be ready to call the coach again. I did go on my drips and set them up again. I noticed I can change what they say and the topics and tweek them some. Still don't know how to do the newsletter thing though without an outside source.

I haven't signed up as a colleague but if you have a newsletter, which I didn't notice you have I will be interested.

Am I just blind or what?

Lonn there is no way to select COLLEAGUE when you sign up on someone's Point2 website.  You either are a buyer or a seller.  I'm pretty sure that you personally have to select colleague on your end if that's how you want it.

When does your first drip email go out?

One thing for sure, working in the small town enviornment, if I don't learn to handle "drips" I couldn't work here...(did I say that outloud). Just kidding, seriously.

Now Mr Guru, is it possible to do a newsletter on drip without going to an outside source and importing it somehow. I have Microsoft Publisher or some kind of publisher program I use to use to mail out newsletters when I had my gift shop. I am not concerned with content as I have tons of things in mind to use. I am just trying to figure out the "how to". I could talk to my son who is a fantastic source of info on this type of thing, but I find even when I stand on my tippee toes he is way over my head.

Becky, I have the choice to choose "colleague".

Mary,

Where did you sign up at?

Where at and on which one of his sites do you see that option?  Can you post the URL to the page, please?

Guess I am just blind!
