Note from Marcy

Marcy Stahl, Direct Sales Coach

Greetings from the land of snow! Fortunately, I got a bit of break in late January when I met with my Mastermind group in Tampa, Florida. This photo is me and my coach, Heather Dominick, at the event.

We had two life-changing days together. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life! The energy of 20 committed women entrepreneurs together in the same room - whew! I'm surprised we didn't blow the roof off the Safety Harbor Resort!

You're already seeing the changes in my business this year, with my fr*ee monthly teleclasses. The next one is "8 Steps to Manifesting EVERYTHING You Want!" - see http://www.marcystahl.com/teleclasses/ to register.

And there's more to come: a live event later this year and at least 2 telesummits of top experts.

You'll occasionally receive email notices from me about events being held by my Mastermind partners and other entrepreneurs. My guarantee to you is that I only send out information about events offered by women of integrity that I'm 100% sure are relevant to you.

I'm dedicated to your business growth in 2010.

Best wishes for your success!

Feature Article

8 Productivity Tools You'll Use

Marcy Stahl, Direct Sales Coach

1. Send really large files

You know how your Internet service provider (or your recipient's) will complain if you send an audio file or other large file? Get around that by using YouSendIt, which handles the transaction through a web site.
http://www.yousendit.com

2. Create pdf files easily

If you only need to create pdf files every once in awhile, use this free option. From this web site, you can browse for your file on your PC, and upload it. A few minutes later, the PDF version will show up in your email inbox! That was easy.

3. Write more dynamic and engaging sales copy

The better your sales copy, the more attractive you are to your prospects and clients. Try out your key phrases in this headline analyzer and instantly see how they rate on empathetic, intellectual and spiritual dimensions. You may need to exercise caution with this site - it can become addictive!

4. Free conference calls

There are MANY services providing free conference calls and it seems like they all have some kind of technical glitch from time to time. Sigh. I'm currently using FreeConferenceCall.

5. Newsletters and autoresponders

Again, there are many choices for newsletters. I needed to have autoresponders as well, so that led me to aWeber.

Autoresponders let you set up emails on a particular schedule, that are automatically triggered when someone joins one of your lists. For example, you can create a 5-part e-course where aWeber will send out one lesson a day, for 5 days, whenever someone joins your list. You set up it once, and that action happens automatically whenever someone joins. That's a time-saver!

6. Find support at the price YOU want to pay

Want to find some freelance help? I found a very competent web developer who created some simple pages for me for only $10/hr through elance.com. On elance.com, you create a description of your project and define your pay range. Individual and companies from all over the world bid on your job. You then pick the project winner. You can manage the work, track emails, and make payments through the elance site. It's very simple to use.

7. How many words are in this paragraph?!

Open Word, highlight the section you want to count, then click Tools, and then click Word Count. You'll see the number of pages, lines, words, and characters.

8. Time conversions, math, and much more

As it turns out, the Google search bar responds to 27 key words that can save you an extra step. Instead of going to weather.com to see the weather in San Francisco, you can type: weather San Francisco, CA in the search box. Instead of going to a time conversion site to figure out the time difference between you and Boise Idaho, you can type: time Boise in the search box.
