I'm Dianne Fratscher, a full-time Work At Home Mom (aka Wahm), married to my wonderful husband Glenn since '93 - wow time flies - and together we have 2 kids. Our daughter Kelsey is an up and coming figure skater and our little man, Robbie, is just a dream come true who takes after his Dad in too many ways LOL. I first began working online when I discovered I was pregnant with Robbie. Pregnancy, in addition to other health issues just pushed me over the top, and I realized I just could not continue working and driving back and forth to the city every day. I was gone from 7am to 6pm five days a week. It was then that I began my online research, and my life slowly started to change. After discovering the term WAHM (Work At Home Mom), I delved into researching the WAHM community, and found that I had to visit a zillion different websites and pick through the information and then do more research to ensure that information was correct, and let me tell you - there are scams a plenty out there, and yes, I got rooked on more than one occassion. Eventually I realized that if I wanted the job done right, I was just going to have to do it myself, and thus in 2002, my first website was born and I'm thrilled to say that it is still online today. WahmsUnited.com has become one of the oldest work at home resource websites on the internet, with a supportive wahm community and membership program where I coach members through growing their own home based businesses. Approximately 2 years ago, I was introduced to Send Out Cards for the first time. Though I thought the concept was interesting, the business aspect behind SOC was never explained to me. Several months later, another rep offered me a gift account, so I again decided to give it another shot. Though I really liked the SOC interface, and I was intrigued by its ability to send out real greeting cards, again, the business aspect, and more important how I could use SendOutCards to build my existing business was never explained. In all fairness, perhaps the reps I dealt with were unaware of the ability to use SendOutCards to build customer relationships, but as the reps never followed up with me, I never had an opportunity to find out. Earlier this year however, a friend and business associate was introduced to SendOutCards. Coincidentally, Patty was already involved in the greeting card industry as she is a greeting card designer. Never having to really check out SendOutCards though, Patty considered SOC part of the competition. What Patty learned changed the entire format of her business, and as an entrepreneur, she quickly discovered how we can use SOC to build existing businesses, in addition to the business opportunity that SendOutCards offers. Needless to say, I was quick to jump on board with Patty, and we are now dediacated to helping others learn about relationship marketing, and are introducing many ways for direct sales representatives and other business owners (even sales reps, real estate agents, chiroprators and oh heck... tons of people *grin*). SendOutCards fits in so beautifully with my beliefs, my values, and everything that I want to achieve in life that it's really taken my life by storm. I now send out real greeting cards every day, to friends, family, business associates and even total strangers! The emotional gratification is worth its weight in gold. I get up in the morning now and can't wait to make a positive difference in someone's life ... maybe that next someone will be you! |
