Taming E-mail Audio Upgrades in Time for the Holidays
Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings!

Can you believe that it is nearly Thanksgiving already?  If you, like me, have had a very busy fall this year, you are probably looking forward to a little slow down time for rest, reflection and family.  With the recent economic insanity going on, it will be nice to instead see some familiar faces and focus on the truly important things.  Knowing we're all busy right now, I wanted to share an excellent - but really quick - Timely Tip this month that was shared by one of my monthly readers.  Use this little gem to save yourself time finding phone numbers and other contact info for your most used businesses (professional and personal) -- directly from Google.  Also, read below on some special announcements - a holiday deal for purchasers of my Taming E-mail audio program (and some great new enhancements!), information about several upcoming special programs featuring other experts, and more.
Save this Number in Your Phone and Contacts List!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 
Thanks to Diane Mayers of the Michigan State University library system for sharing this little gem - have you ever needed to quickly find a telephone number or business contact info via your telephone or the Internet?  If so, rather than paying those expensive "411" fees by your cellular or landline provider, instead save this number - 1-800-466-4411 - in your contacts list on your phone/computer, under the name Business Telephone Directory by Google.  When you dial this number, you will get connected to a free Google service that will either dial the number for you for free, list the full contact details information, or text message that information to your phone (you can even search for a kind of business -- restaurants, banks, stores, etc.)  It is awesome!!
 
And, if you have the Internet available, you can go to this Google site - http://www.google.com/goog411/ - to learn more about this valuable and free service, including watching a cute little video from the guys at Google.  (Once again, Google rocks!)  I thought, going into this busy holiday week, that all of you might need to quickly access the number of that favorite out-of-town pizza place once you get sick of the turkey and ham leftovers, so enjoy!!  Thanks again Diane!
More Program Successes!!  (Corporate, University, and Conferences)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
My Taming E-mail/Office Clutter program has been a HUGE hit this fall - I've posted several more news article on my news page - 
 
http://www.randalldean.com/news.html - listing the amazing results of these very powerful onsite client programs at several major universities and corporations.  Keep this program in mind if you would like to see powerful productivity and employee sanity benefits for your company, department, or association.
More Expert Access! (Expanding Beyond Time & E-mail Management)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the neat things about getting the book deal and developing a bunch of new relationships with top-notch authors and experts (see new expert testimonials here!) is that I can take some of the very best of those experts and provide some of their information to you as an extra benefit for being a Timely Tips subscriber.  This year, I've already exposed you to Tony Rubleski (see more below) and George Beshara (creator of the powerful Managing My Life program series - see this new News article about these programs - and you'll be learning even more about George and MML soon and how these programs can help your organization or association.)  
 
One of my goals moving forward is to keep giving you privileged access to these and other experts and companies now that my scope has become more national/international.  So, starting early next month and continuing moving forward, look for information on a free teleseminar for a new "coaching/training" business opportunity, information from yet another best-selling author and speaker, Dr. Joe Rubino, and more.  I want to give you access to this amazing set of experts and knowledge I am getting exposed to via the continued growth of my company and Taming the E-mail Beast.  I do hope you enjoy! 
How About My Taming E-mail Audio Program as a Great Holiday Gift?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taming E-mail Audio Binder Front Cover
(And get a gift or two for yourself in the process!)  NOTE ALSO the new upgrades to this audio program.
 
Have you been looking for a great holiday gift for your employees, or possibly even your "e-mail overburdened" brother-in-law?  Want to give them something that they'll both truly remember and actually use?  How about giving them something that, if they use it, will give them back two things they will truly appreciate - their time and their sanity!
 
We've just completed another round of upgrades to my Taming E-mail audio binder.  These upgrades have made this binder so solid, one of my most trusted advisors told me flatly that I have completely underpriced this at $49.  Because of that, I'm raising the price as of January 1, 2009 to $79.  But, I'm going to keep this Special $49 price as a special gift price for all of you, my Timely Tips subscribers, current and past clients, and friends. 
 
Taming E-mail Audio Binder Inside Discs
And here is why the upgrades are so valuable: 
 

You not only get
the 100+ minute, two-CD audio replay of my recent Taming E-mail teleseminar with special guest host and Amazon.com best seller Tony Rubleski (worth at least $49 by itself!), you also get:
 
  • Coordinated handouts and screen captures designed to allow you to follow along with the audio program and engrave these learnings into your brain!
  • A full CD-ROM copy of my powerful e-book, Taming the E-mail Beast: 45 Key Strategies for Better Managing Your E-mail Overload (and Regaining Your E-mail Sanity!) - this alone will retail $14.95 - $17.95 when it hits the bookstands early this year, and is getting awesome reviews by other authors and experts.
  • An e-book copy of my highly regarded first book, Major Satisfactors = Major Success: A Unique New Way to Look at How We All Spend, Use, and Waste Our Time
  • A DVD version of one of my recent very highly rated 1-hour Taming E-mail conference sessions, with captures of my live MS Powerpoint presentation, MS Outlook demonstrations, and a full audio capture (as well as printed program handouts)
  • Bonus audio podcast recordings on the book CD-ROM of several of my other popular programs, including my very popular "Finding an Extra Hour Every Day" program and my "Managing and Leading Great Staff & Team Meetings" program
  • And access to all of the powerful bonuses that have been offered by the numerous authors and experts in support of my upcoming book launch (worth hundreds of $$$!)
That is FOUR DISCs of powerful, work and life-changing information -- basically a complete E-mail Sanity self-study program -- for only $49!  And when you see what I'm going to throw in below ...
 
I think you can see now why my trusted advisor is saying I'm completely underpricing this product at $49 - but not only am I going to keep this price for my Timely Tips subscribers and current clients - I'm going to add yet another powerful bonus for the First 20 People that order this powerful Taming E-mail audio program:
 
  • A paperback copy of Tony Rubleski's current Amazon.com bestseller, Mind Capture:  How You Can Stand Out in the Age of Advertising Deficit Disorder (Morgan James 2008 -- Retail Value $19.95) -this you could add into your gift to your co-worker, employee, or brother-in-law, keep for yourself (you'll love the book!), or give as a second gift to that power marketer/communicator that you know.  (Only for the first 20 orders!)
I only have 20 copies of Tony's book to give away (I'm keeping one for myself!), so move quickly on this deal.  I won't keep this value bundle for long, and, if sales go well, I might even move the price up from $79 to something even higher after the first of the year, so act now!
 
TO NOTE:  I will also be taking some of the individual components listed in the product combo above and making them available in coming months in downloadable podcast and PDF formats.  You'll see more information about that in next month's Timely Tips.  Of course, the Taming E-mail e-book is available in downloadable format right now, right next to the ordering information for the Taming E-mail audio binder product above, on my product offers page: 
 
http://www.randalldean.com/offers.html  (Use this page to reserve your e-book and/or audio binder order.)
 
My interns and I are looking to be very busy getting these audio binders and e-books out of my office next week, so humor us by submitting your orders right now.  And save yourself the hassle of at least one Holiday Shopping trip -- with this offer, I just saved you at least one trip to the mall!  (That right there might be worth the price of this deal!)
Until Next Time ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for giving me your time with all of this powerful info right before the holiday.  Don't forget to add that awesome Google Business Search number to your cell phone and contacts list! 
 
And don't eat too much turkey or watch too much football (especially you Lions fans - that is NOT a very good use of time!) 
 
Until next time, Stay Timely ...
