Your Questions About Email Marketing Best Practices

Sandra asks…

Best WordPress plugin for this? PHP/MYSQL/Registration?

Is there a Plugin for Free or for puchase that can do this?

Objective: Create a page where our newly hired reps can register and create their own secure login info to have future access to specific pages.

-Once logged in Reps will need to create a quick profile for themselves that includes; Name, email, Phone number,about me,University, Fraternity or Sorority they are a part of, and also a small profile picture.

All registered users would need to be able to:
Have access to 2-3 other secure pages once logged in
Pages will include:
• Submit marketing report
• Online community where registered users/reps can post best practices, etc.
• Useful info page
I can create the other pages and forms, however, my immediate need is simply setting up the plugin and login info.

Thank you,

Profile Builder is what I have used with great success.

Just know that if you edit the plug-in files that updating will wipe out the changes. (We don’t update it, never had a problem)

Edit: Note: I use the free version without issues.

Ruth asks…

what is the best clinic management software available? specifically for a chinese medicine practice?

Looking for clinic management software for a chinese medicine practice.
Currently am PC based, but am wanting to move to mac, so mac platform is preferred.

I want the software to be able to hold client database, do full stock inventory, have point of sales with full financial reports etc. and preferably multi user so there is a server (reception) and each practitioner can use the software via each room to enter patient data during consult-i want to be paperless.

view calendar for appointments, and make appointments easily. have multiple practitioners with different modalities.

would like but not essential to sync with google calendar or be able to update on practitioner’s iphone etc for calendar.
be able to sms clients for appointment reminders
email patients with marketing campaigns or newsletters etc
if possible use device such as ipad to fill in patient intake forms for patient to auto complete their details.

if you have had expereince using the software would be great. I’d prefer application rather than online solution as I find it annoying every click having to wait for the page to load.
any suggestions are welcomed.

so far i’m looking at clinic director, but it seems a little buggy and is only on pc, as with clinicPOS.

price is an issue and needs to be as low as possible.

Many thanks in advance.

Jere answers:

You would need to either:

Ask a company to make the software for you, this will be fairly expensive

Or

You could make the software yourself

Or

You could ask a programmer to do it, but finding one may be difficult……..

Lizzie asks…

So instead of people calling me stupid & whatever can someone help me out with this letter?

It’s an college entry letter, yes I have really bad grammer. If your willing to help me out my email is chrisadamorocco@yahoo.com thanks!!!!

If I had to describe myself in one word I couldn’t do it, not to sound cocky or anything I just can’t. I like to look at myself & think that I’m ahead of my years. As an kid I LOVED going to school. I use to cry & get upset if my mother signed me out for early dissmals, because I had a doctor’s appointment or for whatever reason. God forbid if I didn’t get to go to school at all for that day. You would need a mop to clean up all thoses tears. I loved going to school to learn about anything. Learning filled a void for me that I was missing at home. Learning made me feel special. My biggest critic is myself & I can’t stress this enough. The reason why this is because I didn’t exactly have the greatest childhood growing up. My mother would yell at me all the time & tell me that I was no good & that I would never amount to anything. I had no father around to wipe the tears from my eyes, so I learn at a very young age that if you want something you better go for it. I see young adults my age that walk around & expect the world to bend over backwards for them. The way I see it is the world doesn’t owe you nothing! You owe the world. What I mean by this is that you owe the world & yourself to strive to be a productive member of society & to take pride in everything you do, never give up or give in, even an inch. Although I’ve been through many trials and tribulations, I’ve always found a way to succeed.

Education is the key to the door of opportunities. I know it sounds so old fashion but it’s so true. To be honest, I haven’t always had straight A’s or been an honor roll student, but I have alway’s felt that education is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Alot of people don’t realize that education that one has or receives affects the lives of the people around them, or matter afact your children that you’ll have some day. How will you care for them without a good job? You can’t .I’ve worked diligently my entire life, and after taking several years off from school I would like to focus my attention on school. I’m ready to go back. I’m determined to succeed and take advantage of all the classes involved with your Advertising and Marketing curriculum.

I feel that I will succeed in your Advertising and Marketing program is because I’ll be guided by a faculty of practicing professionals, pretty much the best of the best. That will teach me everything I need to know. Like creating integrated marketing communication campaigns for advertising, public relations, direct marketing, and sales promotions. Also I’ll learn how to develop media plans and special events; direct and produce television and radio commercials; and write print ads, press releases, and newspaper and magazine articles. The way I feel about this program is that I’m in good hands. That’s a great feeling knowning that I will have practicing professionals as professors that want me to succeed a much as I do.

FIT would be a huge stepping stone for my future. I know that life has its trade-offs and getting an education at FIT can open so many doors. FIT’s approach to teaching is so unique from any other colleges, which is the reason why I know I would benefit from your school. It’s educational approach and direct connection with the industry is what sets this school apart from the rest. With my experience and a college degree in my hand, I feel as if the possibilities are endless.

Jere answers:

Wow…that is the greatest letter i hav eever read. Except for the part ogf, “I want to be taught by professors who want me to sucseed as much as i do,” becausse these professors aren’t tat interested in you accomplishing your dreams; they just like getting the money out of it.

Ken asks…

WGC asset management consulting ltd?

I recently received a job offer by email from a company called WGC asset management consulting ltd. I applied for a Data entry support by sent them my CV and filled application. After that the sent me an email to confirm that I should do a 10 days free training programme. BTW, the application asked me to provide name, address, email, phone number, sort code and account number of my bank account.

I really wanted to gain work experience so I accept to begin the training. Yesterday was my first day of training, the manager called to inform that my bank account has received £920 and I need to transfer it to the next trainee by using a system called “MoneyGram”.

Now I am worried as my friend warned me that it could be illegal business or a scam. Could anyone help me with this issue? Is it a scam? Does it has any concern with illegal activity? I don’t want to be involved in anything that against law.

Below is the training information:

The course is distant, except for two personal meetings with one of company’s managers in your city. While passing the course you will be permanently assisted by the phone.
While studying, you will permanently move from the easiest to more complicated levels. Each lesson contains a theoretical and a practical part. Everyday you will receive studying materials that you should learn and strengthen then your knowledge by passing tests.
The training course starts with familiarizing with payment systems. During the first three training days you will get familiarized with all the payment systems that interact with our Electronic Commerce System (ECS). Besides learning theory you will practice with performing elementary operations (sending/receiving money, depositing on account, etc.) to be able to answer clients questions and consult them in real time.

NOTE: You don’t have to use any personal money for the training purposes.*

The 10-day training course includes the following stages:

Day 1. Initial professional level check. Familiarization with payment systems (MoneyGram, Western Union).
Day 2. Paypal. Bank accounts.
Day 3. Other payment systems. Installation of ECSS-Client.
Day 4. ECSS-Client: Requests handling.
Day 5. ECSS-Client: Databases.
Day 6. ECSS-Client: Reports.
Day 7. ECSS: B2B- and B2C- applications.
Day 8. ECSS: Exchanges between payment systems.
Day 9. Workday rehearsal 1.
Day 10. Workday rehearsal 2.

After completing practical parts of each Lesson you will receive necessary theoretical materials and a test-form with questions to be answered within 24 hours. For the practicing you may find the closest and more convenient for you location, where you can observe general options and methods and remember how it works in reality during your training. For each training day it won’t take more then 2 hours. All the Lessons were composed and developed by the CEO of the Company in USA, marketing supervisors and other local managers to prepare you the best for this position.

I am begging to ask for help. Anyone has these kinds of knowledge please help me!!!

Thank you so much!

Best regards!

Jere answers:

First of all, NO employer would EVER ask for your bank details BEFORE they have interviewed you i person at their office, so call your bank ASAP and put a freeze on that account before it is emptied out, if it’s not too late

Second, NO legitimate company would EVER ask you to send money through Moneygram or Western Union for any reason. This is called money laundering. It’s against the law for any company to ask you to wire money to anyone else.

Call your bank ASAP and tell them there is an unauthorised deposit in your account that you are worried is a scam and you wish to reverse the transfer

Also call Action Fraud http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/ if you are in the UK as this is exactly the type of thing they investigate

You could be arrested for receiving stolen funds and money laundering

That site is only 2 weeks old and intentionally hides its registry details http://whois.domaintools.com/wgcconsultingltd.com — why wouldn’t a company list their actual address? You click on the Contacts section of their website and nothing comes up.

Read the first paragraph of About Us section of their website — it’s copied directly from an established ecommerce company called Conseil http://ecommerceconseil.com/wp2/?page_id=7
The Market Background section is copied directly from Cardinal Commerce’s website
http://www.cardinalcommerce.com/about/

There only registered company in the UK called WGC Consulting is are a real estate management company in Northern Ireland and are NOT in the USA and employs one person, the owner.
Http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/accc3bf493d67bbf89638bb360e92d26/compdetails
They have NOTHING to do with payment systems and I’m sure are not even aware that someone is using their name.

DO NOT delay – call your bank and Action Fraud right away and DO NOT send that money for any reason

You NEVER give your sort code and account number to anyone you have not met in person. All any scammer has to do is make a fake passport or license in your name but their photo, walk into any branch of your bank, fill out a withdrawal slip, walk up to the window, show the fake ID and your account is emptied. And the bank won’t do anything to help as you did not protect your privacy and willingly gave out this information. A very similar scam was featured on Crimewatch a few months ago
