Posted March 30, 2018 Hi All, with everything happening and the possible shut down of our beloved site, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to keep/store/save our references received from providers... I am sure you will agree is one of the most precious things we have, specially for folks new to the hobby. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 30, 2018 I have a spreadsheet in an encrypted container with pertinent contact info and why I might be memorable. TBH I really don't like keeping a list like that, but it's necessary--especially now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reach out to your guys and make sure he knows how to reach you. I’ve often said to use passwords for people for references. Keep it simple! Join P411. Nothing is law yet! Have faith in the Whisperer and the mods. And for the love of unicorn farts, stop posting ideas for LE to see. It’s an open forum, anyone can see. Now let’s get back to business as usual, smile and have fun!!!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 31, 2018 I have a membership on safeoffice.com. I've been there since 2012. They have bank-level security. I keep a database of email addresses there. This is a resource that now, it more important than ever. Providers and clients can get an account. SO has email. You can have 6 different email addresses. I have found this to be very useful for informing my advertising decisions. I can tell where my inquiries are coming from due to the difference in email address used to contact me. SO has a newsletter function. I feel that for providers, sending a newsletter is one of the best ways to deal with the loss of directories. SO has a tutorial on how to send a newsletter. There are many steps to take so I recommend doing the tutorial before getting your newsletter together. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
