_________________________________

Greetings!

Did you know there are services available to automate your proactive prospecting strategies? What I mean is this: You set up an alert on the names, issues, companies you want to track and the work is done for you daily so you can sit back & wait for the results to pour in. It's really that simple. Some of the services are free and some are fee-based. My article this month highlights a sampling of what you'll find out there.

Do you have a favorite I didn't mention here? I'd love to hear about it. Visit my Facebook page and leave me a comment.

Happy Prospecting!
