Hi everyone,
I've got a question that I probably should know the answer to.smileys/smiley9.gif I placed an ad for candle consultants in our local weekly paper and I've gotten some leads to my team website and to my candle drawing. Here's my question:
The lead that came in tonight from my candle drawing didn't check any of the boxes about fundraising, home parties, or earning money from home. I've had those come through like that before, and when no box is checked I don't call, send a business info packet, or place them in my autoresponder. But it seems like such a shame not to contact them in some way! I'd like to at least place them in my autoresponder, but since they didn't specifically give permission that would be spam, wouldn't it?
How do the rest of you handle that situation? Do you just leave it alone or do you contact them anyway?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Debbie

Wow, Lori, that was fast!!
I did think I should call ... I was just a little hesitant since they didn't say they were interested in a home biz.
Thanks.

Hi Debbie,
I'd be more than happy to do a three way call with you if you'd like.

I send an e-mail.
I have different versions saved for those who check boxes and those who dont.
I have one team member from my contest who never checked any boxes so "ya never know"http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

Debra,
Have you had good luck with emails? I've emailed a lot of people, and so far haven't had any response.

Hi Debbie, I would definitely call them. You can start by thanking for entering the contest and go from there. Offer to send them more info and the mail and see what they say. You never know! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gifIf they took the time to enter the drawing, I would guess that they are at least interested in the products. Good luck!

I call everyone that responds...let me tell you...a had a lady that did not fill in anything. I called her and she enrolled that night with the Fast Start Pack. She simply said "she was not sure" what to put in those spaces.
You never know!!
