If you're reading this, then the rest of the article will be very confusing or at the very least, ironic.  I recently read another article about a study done on e-mail subjects and their effectiveness.  If you haven't guessed by now, the study reveals that the words: Reminder, Help, and % off are...

Some more tidbits from the Weekly KW newsletter.  These are from the most recent MASTERMIND "Camp." Where top agents get together to share what's working and what's not.  This is different than the Family Reunion which has training but also is a time to present awards and direction of the company...
