SYSTEM OVERVIEW :


What Does the MyQuickReply lead management and autoresponder system do, and how does it work?
The MyQuickReply lead management and autoresponder system captures and stores the contact information for all of your prospects, it emails them an unlimited number of pre-written follow up emails at predetermined time intervals, and it notifies you by email when a new lead has been entered into the system.

Your account can have an unlimited number of autoresponders and each autoresponder can have a different series of letters in it. Therefore, you can subscribe your prospects to one autoresponder when they fill out a form on your website, and then move them to a different autoresponder when they have taken some action that makes that particular autoresponder appropriate. You can think of different autoresponders as different categories. You can have as many different categories as you want, and you can move your subscribers from one category to another.

What is a confirmed opt-in system?
A confirmed opt-in system captures the information provided by a prospect when they fill out a form on your website, and then it sends them an automatic email asking them to confirm that they want to receive information from you by email. It will also send you an email with the information the prospect entered into the form on your website.

Back To Top

Why do I have to confirm opt-ins?
The MyQuickReply system is a Can-Spam compliant email autoresponder system. In order to comply with anti-spam laws, you can only send email to someone who has confirmed that they wish to receive information from you via email. Therefore, the MyQuickReply system will not send any email to a prospect that does not confirm their opt-in. However, you will still be able to access the contact information for a prospect that does not confirm opt-in so you can call them.

GETTING STARTED:

I just received my Account set up email. What should I do next?
The first thing you will need to do is decide if you want to set up your first autoresponder yourself or have our support team do it for you. All the information you will need to do it yourself is in the account set up letter and here on this FAQ page, but if you prefer to have it done for you, then we will be happy to do so.

When you come up with an autoresponder name, keep in mind that an autoresponder name is the email address that will be sending the emails to your subscribers, and your subscribers will be able to see it.

How do I add my own follow up letters to the autoresponder?
To add your own letters to your autoresponder, put your mouse over the "Messages" link at the top of your account control panel, and then click the link that says "View/Edit/Add Messages." Click the link on the next page to set up either a new plain text message or a new html message.

Plain Text Email: If you choose plain text messages, then just enter the subject line in the subject line box, and the text for the message in the message body box. When you are finished, click the "save message" button at the bottom and you have added tour first message.

HTML Email: If you choose to add an HTML message, then you must enter both an HTML version in the HTML message box, and a plain text version in the box below it. This allows your message to be delivered to people that are not able to receive HTML email. Enter a subject line in the subject line box, and then use the provided HTML editor to create your HTML email. If you already have the HTML source code for your message, then you can click the "Source" button at the top of the HTML editor, and paste the code into the box provided. Then enter the plain text version in the plain text box below the HTML box. Then click the "Save Message" button.

What are email headers & footers, and how do I set them up?
An email header is something that would appear at the top of every email sent out from your autoresponder. An email footer is something that would appear at the bottom of every email that gets sent out by your autoresponder A footer is like a "sig file." A good reason to use a footer is so you do not have to enter your contact information into every letter you write. Also, if you want to change your contact information, you only have to change it once in the footer, and that will update it in all your letters. You are not required to set up email headers or footers.

To create your email headers/footers, put your mouse over the "configuration" link at the top of your control panel, and then click "Email Header/Footer." You will find 4 boxes on the next page where you can set up plain text and html headers and footers. If you are using HTML emails, then be sure to set up both plain text and html headers/footers

LEAD MANAGEMENT:

Can I import leads into the MyQuickReply lead management and autoresponder system?
The MyQuickReply system is a Can-Spam compliant email autoresponder system. It is designed to provide our customers with an efficient and affordable solution for lead management and autoresponders. It's purpose is to be used in conjunction with your lead generation website so you can manage information and follow up with your prospects that have filled out the form on your website.

We understand that you may have an existing list of leads that are stored in another system, and you may want to move them into your MyQuickReply account. In order to prevent abuse, our system does not allow users to import lists, but we can import your list for you manually. Before we will import a list into your account, you must state that the list contains only prospects that have previously opted in to receive information from you.

In order to be Can-Spam compliant, the MyQuickReply system requires subscribers to confirm opt-in before sending them follow up emails. Therefore, if we do import a list for you, each subscriber on that list will be automatically sent an email informing them that they will need to click a link to confirm that they wish to receive information from you. You will be able to write the email they are sent so you can explain who you are and remind them that they are already receiving information from you. It would be a good idea to create a separate autoresponder just for importing your old list since these prospects did not just visit your website.

The MyQuickReply system can import the following fields:
First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Address, City, State, Zip, Country, and IP Address

You must provide us with a CSV or Excel file with your list, and we will import it for you one time at no additional charge. You can attach your list and send it to us via email to info@thehomebusinesspeople.com. This is strictly for you to move an existing list into the system. This offer is not for purchased lead lists.
