Update News
for January 2022
These topics will be dealt with in more detail throughout this bulletin. All of us at Compulife would like to extend to you and your family the very best wishes for 2022. This is the 40th time that we have been able to say Happy New Year to our first customers. Here's hoping that 2022 brings an end to the COVID madness, and allows our lives to return to normal. January 7, 2022 As we said last month, nothing compels you to renew your additional postal code listings and you will continue to be listed in those postal codes until January 7, 2022 in the event that you elect not to pay those renewals. IMPORTANT: If your payment has not been received by the end of business on January 7, 2022, the additional listings that you have will LAPSE and be made available to other subscribers at noon on January 10, 2022. If you believe that you did not get sufficient email contacts (as per our 3 for 1 warranty) and that we will need to make a warranty adjustment to your invoice, please contact us immediately. We'll review your total number of email contacts and weigh that against the number of postal codes that you have, and the number of email contacts that you are entitled to. If you are short, we will determine the credit that we need to make against your invoice for 2021. January 10, 2022 The land rush begins at noon, January 10th EST. As it is every year, the second Monday in January, at 12 noon EST, is the best and busiest postal code purchasing time of the year. The postal codes of those who did not renew their previous listings will become available on a first come, first served basis. To keep this fair and equal for all, we have a HARD starting date and time to ensure fairness. Every year someone complains because someone else beat them to a postal code that they wanted. IMPORTANT: Do NOT call or email postal code purchase instructions before 12pm EST on January 10th. If you do, your email will be ignored and we may not have time to respond. If you call early to buy postal codes, and get through, you will be told to call later. Because the phone lines will likely be busy that day it is BEST to do your homework in advance and email your instructions for new purchases or changes as soon after 12 noon as possible. If you have questions then call or email us the week before. NOTE: You have two basic options for acquiring new postal codes. You can either pay for and ADD postal codes to your current list, or you can trade/exchange postal codes that you already have for postal codes that you think are better. There are limits to the number you can obtain, and you can call to discuss that if you need to. Available postal codes (ANY postal code with less than 3 agents listed) will be available on a first come, first serve basis. The new list will be published on January 10th early that morning. You can review available postal codes here at that time: Any additional postal code purchased on January 10th, must be paid for immediately. The cost of the postal code will be 11 X the monthly fee ($1.25). Once your new postal codes are added, the remainder of the month of January is free. If you are switching postal codes for better postal codes we will need specific instructions. Tell us what postal code that you want to add and which postal code that you are giving up in exchange for it. If you don't know what postal codes you have email us at service@compulife.com and ask for a list of those postal codes ASAP. Once again, you can research postal codes at: If I was you, I would print a list of postal codes in the areas that you are interested in, IN ADVANCE of the 10th. IMPORTANT TIP: You can use the column titles to sort the list of postal codes. Typically, when I am assisting subscribers in finding great postal codes, I will sort by the 4th column: "Population" or by the 5th column "Number of Households". The numbers in those columns will tell you how many people are in that postal code, versus others in the same area. You will need to click the column heading twice. The first time you click it sorts from smallest number to the largest. The second time you click it sorts from largest to the smallest. TIP: In densely populated, urban areas, increase the "Number of Listed Postal Codes" from the default number of 100. This will enlarge the area of the state that you are looking at. Once you have the list that you want, print that list. I would then highlight the postal codes that you would really like to get. Once again, make sure that list is done in advance of the 10th. On the morning of the 10th you will want to replicate the list again, doing the same search and sort. Check your old list with the new list to see if postal codes that previously had 3 subscribers listed now have 2 or less. If that happens, and it's one of the postal codes that you want, fire off your email at 12pm to: TIP: Don't wait too long after finding postal codes that you want. You can send multiple emails. Remember, first come first served. I promise you, if you wait too long, some postal codes that you want will be gone by the time you ask for them. Make sure that we have your name and phone number in the email. Once we get to you in time order, we will call you and ask for your credit card information. IMPORTANT: Compulife keeps no credit card records for subscribers. If we don't have your credit card number, they can't be stolen from us. Every purchase by credit card, requires the credit card again. The following is the current order for new work that we will be doing in 2022:
Overhaul Of Current Product Data Files Introduction of Compulife Basic Plus (with Pick 12) Anyone with questions about any of these upcoming projects can call Bob Barney to discuss: (888) 798-3488
Please don't email me essay questions, just call. If I'm not in, email me your phone number, I'll call you. These planned objectives will easily consume our programming time during 2022. The good news is that once the product data files have been converted, and we have introduced the new CQS.EXE, and upgraded our internet engine to use the new data files, Compulife will be turning it's full attention to our web based, Compulife Basic software. The long term goal is to have a web based product that does everything our PC based software does. |
