The target group that works best for this newsletter is any business between 25 and 250 employees. Those who contact me are often CEOs, those report directly to them, or HR managers. Any company is a potential buyer. The latest subscriber was the University of Alabama on December 7, 2013 (last update on this page) and later a company in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The City of Alphretta, Georgia subscribed several months ago. They have 350 employees. Some subscriber have over 50,000 employees, but they are hard to communicate with, so I suggest not trying.

Getting Paid: The fee per sale for independent telemarketing sales representatives is $200 per paid subscription, $300 for the sixth through ninth paid subscription occurring during the same calendar month, and 100% of the price of the 10th and subsequent subscription or $500 which ever is less.

Notes from Dan


Jan. 6, 2014:
Hello everyone telemarketing. I am changing the message to one that is more generic and not just home health care employers. To that end, I have changed the message you paste and send (see change) and the download link which does not specifically state "home health care employers". However, if you are marketing to home health care employers, do state if you wish, that they are one of the most frequent callers to us.

Dec. 9, 2013: Spanish Newsletter
Version, if desired, is FREE for one year for new paid subscriber who continue, and begins with 4th issue. Sample Issue Link here: Spanish Format


Dec. 10, 2013: New Script to Test. I also own a website called WorkplaceNewsletters.com. So, I used that in this test script to see if it "rings better" when telemarketing. Just a test idea. You can visit the website.

You: My name is ______. I work for WorkplaceNewsletters.com. Is it possible to speak with the benefits manager or agency owner or director?

Gatekeeper:
"What is this pertaining to."

You:  We produce an employee newsletter that is editable and customizable for internal use by employers so they can have their own newsletter program. We are phoning every home health care provider to offer a free copy and a free three-issue trial

Gatekeeper:
Just a moment or we're not interested. Hang up if not interested. Don't leave VM.

Decision Maker: 
Hello.

You:
  My name is _______. I am from a company called WorkplaceNewsletters.com. Our primary customers are human resource managers. We produce employee and supervisor workplace wellness newsletters and turnkey, internal newsletters that are customizable. I am phoning to introduce our employee newsletter to you and offer a free three-issue trial. May I send it to you or even email a sample of it?
