by BeckiI had to share some of these amazing testimonials with you. They really warm my heart in knowing what our service is doing for people around the world.
Just a handful of the ecstatic testimonials from
SendOutCards customers and distributors
In all my years of experience in referral marketing, I’ve never come across a system that has the ability to build a deep, close, and personal relationship with a small business prospect or customer as effectively, efficiently, and inexpensively as this system. It’s truly amazing.
My sales are up 224% in the 12 months that I’ve been using Send Out Cards.

Send Out Cards develops relationships that I just couldn’t develop any other way. It’s literally made me hundreds of thousands of dollars in referral business. It is simply the best tool I have ever used for generating referrals.
Dick Larkin
CEO, Weblistic Inc.
Fremont, CA
With a touch of a button I send out 60-80 personalized cards a month using Send Out Cards. One of our past clients stopped in to thank us for the greeting card, and in return he referred two of his friends who had damaged windshields. Send Out Cards really works!
Steven Scheeler
CEO, Desert Breeze Glass

Our results, with over 25 years of sales and marketing experience, is that I believe Send Out Cards is the single best marketing tool for anyone looking to increase sales from their present customers, generate tons of referrals, and significantly increase their sales and profits.

What I discovered after using Send Out Cards is that I could create a way out of Corporate America and build a business on my time, spend much more time with my family and friends, and help others do the same.

Starting a Greeting Card Business
by BeckiHere are 7 top reasons to start your own greeting card business right from home!
1) It’s a product that people already use every day.
The greeting card industry is a $7 billion dollar industry and we’re the 3rd biggest player after Hallmark and American Greetings. Of course those companies don’t offer the convenience of sending your cards right from home and the computer. And they’re a LOT more expensive.
Showing people how to send PHYSICAL greeting cards right from their computer and in their own handwriting, for about a dollar, is simply a no brainer and has a high interest factor because people have never seen anything like this.
2) Greeting cards are a high demand product.
We have over 65,000 happy customers enjoying sending their cards this way — and our distributors are getting a nice percentage of every card sent. That could be you with your own home-based greeting card business.
3) Fun and making new friends
Starting a greeting card business is so much fun, and I think business should be fun. People absolutely love sending and receiving cards this way with personal photos, gift cards, even real gifts sent right with your card and right from home. It’s wonderful to get a call of surprise and appreciation after sending an unexpected card of thanks, gratitude, or encouragement.
I’ve been a distributor for other companies and nothing else has been nearly as fun as this!
4) Unbelievable low start-up costs and overhead.
For only $398 you have your own greeting card business started in minutes and join our award winning team to support you in your new business. Whether you want to make some money on the side, or work towards replacing your full-time income, we have the training and mentoring you’ll need to reach your goals.
No leases, no employees, little to no overhead expenses, work your own hours — now THIS is my kind of business.
5) 3 ways to make money
You make money when your customers and downline distributors send cards. You make money when you sponsor new distributors. And you make money when your distributors grow their business too! Actually, I left out some other ways you make money, but you see it’s multi-dimensional and very leveraged.
6) A consumable product that virtually everyone uses
Birthdays come every year (isn’t that the truth!), holidays come every year, weddings, new babies, graduations, thank you occasions, business occasions — people are buying cards for all of these. And they’re paying a whole lot more at the store than you can offer them with your own greeting card business.
Introducing this service to small business owners is particularly easy because they know that keeping in touch equals more referrals, sales, and new customers.
7) An easy to follow and effective business plan.
I’ve been a leader in this business and now mentor others to succeed with a very copyable business plan that anyone can do. It’s a business where the product itself is so cool and different that people want to know more! We have a complete training blog and tracking forms that let you keep track of your business growth simply and easily.
You’ve got to try sending a card this way — it’s unbelievably fun, easy, and contagious! Simply fill out the info on the form on this page for your free guest account.
The Price of the Promise
by BeckiThis was a wonderful reminder from my friend, Jordan Adler, about the realities of network marketing. I believe there is no more powerful business model than getting paid on the work of thousands of other people. It works, it’s simple, but it’s not easy. Wrap your head around this truth and put it to work for your own success!
THE PRICE OF THE PROMISE:
The Power Of Network Marketing
Mark Yarnell, a minister in a small town in Texas, was headed for bankruptcy and just about to lose his car and home. He looked for a way out and discovered network marketing. Luckily, he had a wise sponsor.
The sponsor gave Mark “THE PRICE OF PROMISE”. “This business can set you free financially in one to three years.”
But he also gave him “THE PRICE”. “To succeed, you will have to face and conquer 4 major enemies.”
Mark said, “It’s a deal.”
Mark began by inviting 200 friends over to his house to watch a video. 80 said “No, not interested”
- Mark had encountered ENEMY #1: Rejection.
He thought, “No problem. My sponsor warned me about that. I’ve got 120 people still coming over.” Guess what?
- He had just encountered ENEMY #2: Deception.
Mark thought, “No problem. My sponsor warned me about that. I’ve got 70 people who watched the tape.” Guess what? 57 said “Not Interested”.
- He had just encountered ENEMY #3: Apathy.
Undaunted, Mark thought, “No problem. 13 people signed up.” Guess what? 12 of them dropped out of the business shortly thereafter.
- He had just encountered ENEMY #4: Attrition.
Attrition had left Mark with just one serious associate. But to this day, that single distributor earns Mark over $50,000 per month.
Mark Yarnell’s story is NOT Unique!
You may have heard of Bill Britt, one of the most successful distributors in Amway. Some years ago, 20/20 did a feature story on Amway. They spent 19 minutes interviewing whiners and complainers - several distributors who had failed and showed the garages full of products they couldn’t sell. During the last minute of the show, Mr. Britt was interviewed in front of his palatial home. He was asked, “Mr. Britt, this business has obviously worked for you. What’s your secret?”
He replied, “There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 people. 900 said, ‘No’ and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did anything at all. Out of those 85 only 35 were serious, and out of those 35, 11 made me a millionaire.”
Like Mark Yarnell, Bill worked through the numbers.
Jason Boreyko, former co-founder of New Vision, told this story. When he was a distributor in Matol, he signed up 50 people. He heard a lot of “No’s” on the way to those 50. Jason took one man, who he knew would be terrific in the business to lunch,
told him about the business and the man said “No.” Jason took the man to lunch again the next month and told him the updates. Once again the man said, “No.” Jason sent him some more information and took him to lunch again the next month. And again the man said, “No.” That went on for six months. The seventh month, something had changed for the man, and he said, “Yes.” That man made Jason over one million dollars. Jason also worked through his numbers.
According to Richard Poe in Wave Three while starting Amway, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, America’s eleventh richest people, recruited 500 people. 495 dropped out. The five that didn’t quit built Amway. All $7 billion of Amway’s business was built under those 5 people. Jay and Rich had to work through their numbers. There are many similar stories.
Jeff, the top money earner in Mannatech, signed up 27 people his first month. One might think that he is especially talented at sponsoring. Actually, Jeff will be the first to tell you that he is not talented at all.
In fact, he feels that he did very poorly. To recruit those 27, Jeff talked to 2000 people that first month. And of the 27, the only one who did anything significant with the business was Ray Gebauer, who has more than half of Mannatech in his downline.
Jeff’s word to you is that the numbers never lie. Pick your goal and then get into massive action. If you talk to enough people, you will make it!
Here’s the lesson: Your success is directly related to the degree to which you are willing to work to find others like yourself who are committed to succeed. Mark Yarnell’s odds were 1 out of 50. (Jeff’s were really 1 out of 2000.) Would you be willing to go through 200 people to find the 1 who will make you $50,000 a month? Or go through 200 people to become a millionaire? Or hear uncounted “No’s” to sign up 50 people to find a million dollar person? I hope you will. It’s easier when you know the odds up front.
But here’s the catch: You have your own set of odds and you won’t know what they are until AFTER YOU’VE SUCCEEDED.
So if you’ve gone through 50 or 100 people and you haven’t found 1 serious person yet, you can either give up and assume the business doesn’t work or recognize that you are working through your own numbers.
Are you willing to find out what your own set of odds is?
That means that you must pay the price for freedom. Remember that the numbers never fail you. Despite where you are in your skill level, your success is assured if you talk to enough people. And as your skill improves, so will your odds.
There is no such thing as luck in this industry. Winning big is a matter of being willing to pay the price. Are you? Your future is in your hands! The choices which you make today will determine the course of your entire future.
++++++++++++++
Jordan goes on to say that he’s shown our very fun business to about 850 people and signed up 170, about 1 in 5. That’s led to an organization of over 37,000 distributors doing over $1 million a month — the great majority of it coming from the downline organizations of just 4 people. Get that? The rest of the people are just using our system to send out cards. Those are how the numbers work in any company.
It’s so critical to understand this so you don’t get discouraged. Look at the stories of all these people who didn’t quit. The numbers don’t lie.
