What is my desired End Result?
Am I selling a product?
Do I want to simply generate interest?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Calendar&#8230; It defines our work days, our meeting cycles, and our ability to sleep!<br />
Do you have your communication plan mapped out to keep you on track?</p>
<p><span id="more-416"></span>E-plans are part of a long-term communication plan that include E-Newsletters, Holiday Touches and scheduled calender events. Setting calender events for personal reminders and important dates that happen on a recurring cycle are crucial relationship builders to any marketing and sales plan.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a holiday Eplan (by the way you can have multiple Eplans since the content is commonly unrelated)</p>
<p>Holiday,</p>
<p>Jan 1 Happy New Years</p>
<p>Feb 14 Don&#8217;t forget to get your significant other something for Valentines&#8217; Day</p>
<p>March St Patrick&#8217;s Day</p>
<p>April Easter</p>
<p>and so on&#8230;..</p>
<p>Every month Network Marketers have 2 important days of the month. The 15 and the 30, two emails scheduled to go out on those days every month, means not forgetting to do the calls or sent the emails.  Simply set them and go.</p>
<p>Combine that with a Monthly newsletter and your set to go.</p>
