May. 8, 2006 - Just A Phone Call Away

You see it on my web sites. It's on my business cards. My direct mail efforts has it on them. It's in my e-mail signature. My yard signs have it on them. You can call me on it, fax me with it, and even use it to send me e-mails. It's (847) 440-7920.

It really doesn't matter where I am. It rings where I tell it to. I can be at home, at the office, in the car, at your house or in a condo in Florida, it doesn't matter. It's the only number you need to know in order to talk to me.

Sure I have a phone at home, but I don't take business calls on it. There is a phone at the office when I go there, but that's not MY number. Yes I have a cell phone, and it comes in very handy when I am away from land lines. I'm sure you would allow me to use your phone if I was at your house and I needed to make a call as well. The only problem I have with that is, if the party I am calling is not available, they might just redial from the caller id when they return my call, as I often do myself. If I have left your house I don't want to burden you with my calls. That's why wherever I am I can log into my number (847) 440-7920 and place the call. That is the number that would show up on the caller id. And why in the world would I want you to pay long distance charges to talk to me if I was out of state? I wouldn't. So just dial my local number.

So you see, you don't need to know five or six phone numbers to track me down with an important call or a fax. All you need to know is (847) 440-7920 and I am just one phone call away.

There is a lot more this powerful communication system does, but I am told that if I make my post too long I might lose your attention so why don't you just go to www.strictlycom.com and see what it can do. Maybe something like this can work for you as well and if so you should contact my guy David Byrd. You can e-mail him at MailTo:dbyrd@strictlycom.com or call him at (312) 242-1025. If you talk to him, tell him Gene sent you.

As always, if you have found yourself receiving my blog postings via e-mail, it is because I have either blogged about you personally, blogged about something I know is of interest to you, or I consider you to be a person of deep thinking and intellect and I would love to have you occasionally commenting on my blog. If you would like to be removed from the list simply send me an e-mail saying so.
