Incredible Contact Management AND Follow-up System:  I am using a program called Oprius, which enables me to keep all of my contacts in one place, and then create groups of different types of people (prospects, clients, referral partners, friends, family, etc.) and a follow-up plan for as many groups as I want.  Built into the plans are template emails, phone call scripts (I put bullet points here to remind me of things I want to cover for certain types of calls), and task reminders that show up on the day I am supposed to do something.  The system reminds me when to call, email, or do anything I want to be reminded of.  And because I can build the templates right into the system, everything is in one place.  It was created specifically for network marketers, but can be used for any individual or workgroup that wants to design a follow-up plan and then simply be reminded what to do next.  It is completely customizable, and the plans can also be shared with others within the same workgroup.

CHARITABLE DONATIONS

Links to organizations that accept tax-deductible items you can donate:

Computer Equipment: Donate surplus building materials or large household items - If you live in the state of Washington, this online materials exchange is a convenient way to exchange small or large quantities of used or surplus building materials and large household items. Anyone can browse for items. To post you must be a resident of a participating community.

Donate children's shoes, socks & coats to a good cause -- other children in need! Donate women's business suits to other women in need. Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that helps low-income women make tailored transitions into the workforce.

Donate your car or truck to charity. Are you thinking of selling or trading in that old car, boat or RV?  Why not donate it instead?  As a  charitable contribution your donation could make a big difference.  In  this easy-to-use site you can research hundreds of respected charities, find answers to frequently asked questions and complete a simple online donation form.

Donate your used durable medical equipment. Bridge Ministries for Disability Concerns (Kirkland, Washington) accepts, cleans, repairs and gives away used durable medical equipment to persons who cannot afford to purchase their own. They accept items in good working condition such as manual and electric wheelchairs, electric scooters and carts, portable commodes, walkers, canes, crutches, raised toilet seats, grab bars, toilet rails, etc. Please call their equipment department if you have an item that needs to be recycled. They frequently receive thank you notes saying how lives have been changed with a piece of equipment. Individuals gain independence, self esteem and become a contributing member of society.

Donate your cell phone to the Wireless Foundation and help combat domestic violence by providing victims with one of the most powerful tools in the fight against domestic violence -- a wireless phone. They provide phones and a whole host of other services using wireless communications.

Charitable Donations: IMPORTANT NOTE:  Keep track of your charitable donations so you can get a tax deduction. For years, I have used a free online program called ItsDeductible to keep track of mine and it has saved me thousands of dollars on my taxes, because I donate a lot of in-kind as well as cash contributions..  In order to use this when it's time to do your taxes, you must purchase TuboTax Deluxe (even if you have a CPA doing your tax returns for you), as the software will generate the Form 8283 -- the Noncash Charitable Contributions IRS form that must be attached to your return if you claim more than $500 in non-cash contributions.  The number of hours it would take for your CPA to manually create this form would be astronomical, so it is well worth the investment each year in TurboTax Deluxe if you have in-kind contributions in excess of $500.  Your tax savings will more than pay for this software.

Greater Seattle area non-profit organizations accepting donations of goods, such as clothing & household items:

Donate Computer Equipment: InterConnection's core mission is to provide computers to underserved people and communities around the world.
