“Mr. Watson, come here, I need you”…recognize those infamous words? I hope so, they are the words spoken by Alexander Graham Bell to his assistant, Mr. Watson (Is this the same guy that Sherlock Holmes called “Homey”?). History has recorded this as the very first phone call. From this point, we have evolved through countless upgrades, to today’s “standard”… the PDA or Smart-phone. Yet, when discussing the concept of “Drip Marketing” it’s the “lil brother” of the phone, the email, that first comes to mind! Imagine how tough that has been on the phone? “Hey, I’ve been here for like 100 years” (actually 93 yrs, and about 10 months, it was Jan 25th 1915)..anyway..”How come this lil punk, who’s been around for like 30yrs, is gettin all the love?”…
Well Pots(y) (play on words, ATT uses the acronym P.O.T.S. to denote Plain Old Telephone Service, not real inventive that company), today is your day!…Now there is DialMyCalls.com…Hurray!!!!
Just a quick disclaimer, I’m not sure this is what DialMyCalls had in mind for this service, but I can’t help but relate new technologies to Real Estate. It’s what I do!
and the 1st thing that came to my mind when I read about this service was “Pimp my Drip” baby!
OK, so what is DialMyCalls.com? here’s and excerpt from their website….
| A Few Nice Features Of The DialMyCalls Service: | |
| Free To Use Try out our free service and send up to 1 group call per day to 25 people or less. Or, upgrade to our premium service to send unlimited calls to as many people as you wish! |
|
| Record Your Own Voice Messages Easily With our 3 easy to use tools, you can create your own custom message in a couple of minutes. Offering your callers such a personalized touch is something they are sure to appreciate. |
|
| You Control The Caller ID Settings You are able to have your own home, cell phone, or business phone number show up on your call recipients’ Caller ID system. This is available on both the free and premium services, so everyone can take advantage of this great feature. |
|
| Voice Mail Detection We are able to detect 99% of all answering machines & voice mail services. If your call ends up reaching an automated answering system, our system will know to wait and leave your message in its entirety. |
|
| Email Your Voice Message To Your Callers Also If you enter email addresses along with your contacts’ phone numbers you can also have your voice message emailed to them. This is a popular feature and great for those people who do not answer their phone or check their voice mail often. |
|
| Detailed Call Reports With every call you send, you will have access to a detailed call report with the results of every individual call. From there you are able to tell whether the call was answered live, went to voicemail, had an error, and many other specific call details. |
|
OK, so now I want you to go to thi swebsite and imagine how you can use this service to create a “Drip Marketing” campaign that utilizes potential clients cell phones, and oh by the way, their emails TOO! Can you see it? I can!
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”

I’m glad to see that it is indeed fixed. If it WASN’T the anchor text, what exactly was it then? Each place that you had linked out to the company’s website had it transposed. Last I checked, that is indeed anchor text.

This sounds like a great tool. Even Skype blows my mind when I think that it was only 10 years ago that I was still using Alexander GB’s landline! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for your post.
