Resources




On this page you’ll find all the resources I talk about in my blog entires, books, CDs, DVDs and seminars.

Most, if not all, I use myself. And yes, from time to time I’ll outgrow a provider and will update the information on this page.

If you want an easy done-for-you solution my recommendation is that you contact these people, companies and services and discover exactly why I love them so much.

Many offer discounts to my referrals so be sure to mention my name when you contact them.

Oh, and one last note for complete transparency. I have affiliate relationships and/or joint ventures with several of the providers below. That means that I get a little something whenever you work with them. That does not dimish my trust in them or the level of integrity I expect from my providers when they work with you.

If you EVER have a problem with any of my providers please let me know!

Marketing Tools

Send Cards, Brownies & Gifts to Your Clients in Seconds

This is the service that I use to send personalized greeting cards (real ones, not ecards) along with a box of brownies and/or other gift to my clients and especially to those that refer work to me.

I’ve found this to be a phenomenal (and inexpensive) way to build rapport with clients and they are always happy to receive a surprise in the mail.  My suggestion is to send them a card and brownies as soon as they sign up to work and to also send the same to the person who referred them to you.

24-Hour Receptionist Service (tell him that Sameer Kumar referred you)

Do you really think you are saving money by answering your own calls?

Do you know what your clients REALLY think when they hear you answer your own calls?

They’re thinking, “He doesn’t seem to be doing too well.”  “She probably doesn’t have too many clients.”  “Maybe we should work with a more experienced professional!”

That is what clients are thinking when you answer your own calls!

If I hear one more business owner tell me that he or she answers their own calls because his “My clients like being able to get a hold of me on the phone . . .” Arggghhh!!!!

Of course they like getting you on the phone! It’s like having their own personal butler on call 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.

These clients do NOT respect you nor do they not think you are successful.

And clients do not want to work with unsuccessful business people!

Imagine your doctor picked up the phone whenever you called? You’d wonder if he had any business at all and you’d wonder when in the world he had time to give any attention to his patients. Not to mention how good he is at what he does . . .Our clients are no different.

Whoa!  Before you even think about  it . . . sending them to voice mail is worse.

Half of your prospective clients won’t leave a message (meaning no business for you) and the ones that do won’t be too excited about not getting at least one live person.

Yes, I understand. You “think” you can’t afford a full-time receptionist.

But the only thing more expensive than having someone answer your calls is NOT having someone answer your calls.

I use this service to handle all my incoming calls.  They do an awesome job.  They’ll take 1-2 weeks to get used to how you want your phone answered and then they are awesome!

Talk to Dirk Moeller at 866-601-6115 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 866-601-6115 end_of_the_skype_highlighting or email him at dirk@bcanswer.com.  Be sure to tell him that Sameer Kumar sent you.

Or if you prefer you can just hire a full-time receptionist working 9 hours a day for $8 an hour for a total of $1584 per month (not factoring in taxes, benefits or daily lunch time).

Websites

Web Deals from Avani & HBB

What excuse did you give when someone asked you for your web site?
Look, you cannot afford to go one more day without having a web site or having a crappy one!
Do you realize that by NOT having your own website you

  1. Lose Credibility;
  2. Lose New Business; and
  3. Lose Repeat Business!

Do your clients still email you at Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail or even worse AOL?
The only thing an AOL account tells your clients that you got your email account in 1996 and you had your head stuck in the sand while the internet revolution occurred. Before you argue with me, yes, Gmail is a great email management system but it also says that I can’t invest enough to have my own website and email address.

I understand that it’s not easy to set up your own website. You don’t know what the site should look like, what functionality it should have and what it should say. But you know you’d like to use it as more than just your online business card.

I also understand how hard it is to find a good web designer that you can actually afford. So I’ve worked out three packages with MY OWN web designer so you can have your own website up and running for an unbelievably low investment!
Seriously, getting a professionally designed website has never been so dirt easy AND so dirt cheap.
