Yes, we have moved to the Amazon computing cloud! Yesterday evening, WeMeUs went live on Amazon - giving us on-demand access to more horsepower and storage, redundant servers,
and a range of other resources that ensure we can scale smoothly as we
grow. The only difference you'll notice is better performance and a
smoother experience. The Amazon move is part of a strategic partnership which we'll be talking about more in our blog next week, so stay tuned!
Our newsletter this month has a slightly different look and feel - it's now being produced and sent through the Email Assistant. If you're not familiar with how much time Email Assistant can save you, sign up now for one of our webinars - Tuesday and Sunday at 4:00PM PST, and Thursday at noon PST.
New and improved this month includes Email Assistant with new options - choose names, change "From" and add "Reply to" addresses - and a new Add Contact form that gives you a faster, one page entry, even with notes and reminders. Full details on all of these are below.
Check out the latest features, and then let us know how WeMeUs is helping you, and how we can improve. And thanks for your continuing support and referrals (referrals this month quadrupled over last months!) Dawn, Marc, Neil and the
rest of the WeMeUs Team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Site &
Service Upgrades - Contact Detail, Add Contact and Email
Assistant
Now that Email Assistant
is integrated into the contact detail pages, you can leave an email
you're drafting to update contact records, check on open leads or review groups
and then pick up your email exactly where you left off. The updated
Email Assistant now displays names and
email addresses in the address book picklists, making it faster and easier to
find the contacts you want. You can also specify the "From" name
and provide a "Reply To"
address.  A new Add Contacts was also released,
including more of the data fields you asked for to provide faster, one page
entry. It also includes a new field "Followup
Note" so you can add notes or a log entry and optional reminder, all on this one
page.
Finally, for
members who are importing from ACT or Excel spreadsheets, two
new headers for data are now supported.
FF Notes - data in this column gets added to the Notes
widget
Referred By - data in this column gets added to the Referred By
field.

Tips on Using
Email Assistant for Fast, Effective Networking Follow-up
If you just got back
from a networking event with a handful of business cards, Email Assistant can
help you follow-up in a fraction of the time!
1. Use Add Contact to
enter the people you've just met. If you're in a hurry, just enter name, email
address, company and any notes while they're fresh in your mind.
2. Go to Dashboard and
New Contacts; check the box to the left of each name that you just entered.
3. Click on Email
Assistant (top menu bar) and on the To: button, you'll see all of those names
listed there.
4. Draft a quick
followup letter ("Hi Dawn, I really enjoyed talking with you at the XYZ event
earlier this evening...".
5. Select Mail Type of
Individual to personalize and send the same content to each person,
or...
6. If you have just a
few more minutes - select Mail Type of Customized - the system will pause
between each letter to let you add a couple of lines specific to that person.

New User
Feedback
"I am
delighted with WeMeUs. As a realtor I have tried many contact systems. This one
is easy to learn, I can upload my contacts from Outlook and I can communicate
quickly with my clients. The best so far is being able to send out 80 or so
customized e-mails that appear to be individual [email] in about an hour. I'm
looking forward to using the lead tracking and follow-up system
next."
