Turn your small base hits into home runs!

19 October / Craig Simpson / Tracking / No Comments

There is no end to the improvements we can make to our sales materials. Even when we have a piece that works great, there are always further refinements we can make that will bump up the response rate. With my own clients, I’m always testing changes to sales pieces.

3 Ways to Always Be Monitoring

23 July / Craig Simpson / Tracking / No Comments

Let’s say you sent out 10,000 sales pieces, but where on earth did they go? And what condition were they in when they arrived? Unless you know for sure that they were delivered to the right place in the right condition, you’ll never know how to judge the effectiveness of your sales piece, your list, […]
