Taking Motivation to the Next Level

Here's a great success story I just read about and it fits perfectly with what I'm always trying to learn about -- motivation!

This motivational speaker named Rick Itzkowich wanted a way to improve the effectiveness of his motivational services. He was using a daily email with motivational words, but then he found Vontoo. Vontoo offers an automated voice messaging system which allows Rick to reach all his clients on a daily basis. When his message is sent out and his client hear his motivational words from his own voice, he can work "his magic" so much more effectively than words on a page. I mean, that's one of the things his clients like about him -- the tone and inflection of his voice. This make voice messaging so effective. Rick's clients were more than happy to even pay for this service. Given the very low costs per use of Vontoo voice messaging, Rick's system was not only very effective for his clients but also very profitable. Within 6 months he had over 400 subscribers!

What a cool story. Vontoo is easy to use. They handle all the technical stuff. All you have to do it record or upload your message and set up who gets the calls. This could be a motivational speaker's best friend in keeping clients motivated!

Selena,

One of the things I love about the web is how connections happen. I just found out you wrote this post about the "QuoteActions" service I created through Vontoo. I'm honored you chose to write about it.

Since you cover travel, I thought you might also be interested in the Learning Vacations my company Productive Learning & Leisure offers. In these Learning Vacations we combine, adventure travel with personal growth. Examples of these include trips we have taken to Tonga to swim with the whales, Safaris to Tanzania and Scuba Diving in the Galapagos Islands. You can watch some videos on my blog at http://xtraordinaryliving.blogspot.com/

Warmest Regards,

Rick
