Welcome to TyTheCardGuy.com!
Pictured above, Ty the Card Guy shares a few ideas with two other attendees at a Charlotte, NC networking event on April 10th, 2008.
Welcome to my site! My name is Tyrone Turner, also known as "Ty The Card Guy".
A little bit about me...
I have been in home-based direct sales for about 15 years now, and I have worked in the legal industry as a paralegal, a litigation support sales agent, a business developer, and now an operations manager - I have more than 20 years of experience in the legal industry.
What Ty the Card Guy does is operate a home-based consultancy that helps sales professionals and small business owners triple the amount of referrals that they are currently getting with very little effort.
I picked up the moniker Ty the Card Guy in the late 90s because I was taught by a gentlemen named Randy Rosler that sending out cards is a great way to get meetings and to follow-up with people. Heck, the Guiness Book of World Records top salesman in the world, Joe Girard, sent greeting cards to all of his contacts each month and that is what got him to where he is today. Who am I question if it works or not? So, I do what Joe Girard does, but I save time, energy and money by using the amazing technology and training of SendOutCards.com.
How does SendOutCards work, well, click on the player below for a quick 2-minute overview.
An oftentimes overlooked resource is your existing customers. They are extremely valuable, and you must show them that you appreciate their business. It is much easier to keep a customer rather than go out and acquire a new one. Also, a satisfied customer can be an excellent source for referrals.
Here are some statistics that I got from one of my mentors, Jordan Adler, who runs a Business Network International (BNI) chapter in Arizona, and he is also the number one money-earner in SendOutCards:- 79% of all leads generated at a trade show [or networking event] aren't followed up.
- The average company lost 50% of its customers every 5 years...the cost of replacing them is 6 to 7 times more expensive than it was to acquire them.
- 5% increase in customer loyalty will yield 20%-80% to our bottom line profit...Much wiser to spend money on customer retention than acquisition.
- For every month that we don't contact or communicate with our client, we lose 10% of our influence.
- 82% of all homeowners can't tell you the name of their realtor if they bought their home more than two years ago.
- Just saying thank you to our clients...particularly new clients even with only a phone call to do nothing more than saying thank you...(do not try to sell on this call), will increase your business by 17%
- 95% of our customers will purchase from a competitor even if you provide a great service on an impulse - unless you follow-up with them on a regular basis.
By the way, BNI is very particular who it calls a strategic partner. SendOutCards is one of BNI's nine strategic partners. Now, that is quite an endorsement!
Take time to look over the pages on this site. Perhaps you'll find something that you can use to grow your business.
