Hello List, Back when I serviced rural towns, I handed out 13 cent stamped postcards with my address, phone, price structure, a place for the customer to put their name, address, and phone and their most available days or times. I said to allow two-three weeks for me to phone inorder for appointments to accumulate for their area and reduce or eliminate mileage charges. (increases referal incentives.) People wouldn't throw these out because they had postage on them and it saved customers a long distance call, since I would be calling them. I didn't waste time asking for addresses and phone numbers since I already had them and an appropriate map handy to make the giving of directions faster. Non serious customers wouldn't waste my time since they never filled out a card. I sorted them geographically and would draw maps right on the cards themsevles and carry them to the appoinment, keeping my appointment book less messy. This worked great. I think I got back most of them, often many months later. -Mike Jorgensen RPT
