Reg Gupton says: Staying in touch really does work

Hi Reg Gupton here.

One of my VIP FastTrack Group Group Mentor Program clients sent the following the other day. Heed his advice.

As a result of staying in contact with people with the 33 touch program I had these two calls today: "Hi Jerry, this is Kim. Jeff and I are ready to move forward with buying a house now. Jeff got a raise, we finished preqaulfiying, and we want to meet with you to get started."

and then about an hour later: Hi Jerry, this is Rhonda S. Robert and I are ready to have you find us a house. You've stayed in contact with us and we really appreciate that. When can we meet?"

These types of calls to buy and to list houses are coming in very regularly now!

Thanks Reg!

Reg Gupton rec'd a gift a couple of days ago

Hi Reg Gupton here,

A few days ago I rec'd a gift. It was the June/July 2008 issue of Success magazine.

Not having a lunch appt today, I took it with me to have something to read.

WOW. What a great issue!!

Please take 15-30 minutes of your Personal Growth time today and go here, to read some of these stellar articles.

Everything for how Denis Waitley helped our Olympians in the 80s and 90s (and why what he did matters to you today) And the 25 must read books for achievers today.

Please let me know what you think after you invest a little of your time.

I am not finished reading. On my way to my second office for a little coffee and more reading.

To your continued success,

Reg Gupton posts a book review of Getting Things Done

For those of us who are always scrambling through papers stacked here, there,
and everywhere -- who seldom see the actual top of our actual desk -- who are continually haunted by the fear that we've forgotten something terribly important -- help is at hand.

The book is called Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen. Google GTD and you'll discover his followers are legion and wildly enthusiastic about his systems for dealing with time, obligations, and stuff.

Allen says that it's that fear we've forgotten something that creates stress in our
lives. To eliminate the stress, we need systems. Once the systems are in place, the stress will disappear and we will find that we have become healthier, happier, and more productive. Doesn't that sound wonderful?

Like all lifestyle changes, a clean desktop (both real and virtual) won't happen
without effort and determination. Nevertheless, I can personally attest that even implementing GTD imperfectly has resulted in a vast improvement compared to my previous normal state of clutter and chaos, pre-GTD.

Give it a try. Even if you're not Saved, you may be Improved.

Reg Gupton says: I want you back

Hi there,

Reg Gupton here.

As you may know, I am a 20 year road cyclist. It is one of the major passions in my life. The other is fly fishing. As I say to my friends, I have two expensive and time-consuming hobbies.
Some time back (as you can see from the following email) I was a member of Adventure Cycling, an advocacy and tour leading group. A while back, I let me membership expire.
I rec'd this email today. I was wowed by the personalization. They told me when I let my membership expire (May 2003) and that I had been a member for 4 years. That is knowing a lot about a past customer. I bet that some number of the folks that receive this offer will renew. I LOVE it.

BTW...keep reading to the bottom.

Reg Gupton offers a worthwhile goal

Hi Reg Gupton after a long break.

Today I walked down the Mall in Downtown Boulder where I office for lunch. Look here
for info on the area where I live and work.

Anyway, I had lunch at a restaurant named The Paradise Bakery. It is an OK soup, salad and sandwich place. It is convenient and close. I eat there about once per week.

I noticed a poster on the wall that I have been threatening to write about for some time.

It says: "Our goal is to make your experience so special that next time you visit us you will bring a friend."

Think about this for a minute. It should direct their whole operation because in order for you to bring a friend the service, attitude and not least the food should be special. Not average or run-of-the-mill. But something truly special.

Do you have written and public goals for your business? You should. It will help you in ways you can not imagine.

I did in my real estate practice.

Write a comment below or send me an email and I will share them with you. They certainly put me and my team on notice about how we performed and related to our clients.

To your continued success,

Reg Gupton
