The Whales Are Coming!
From John “JJ” Jackson, CarbonCopyPRO Senior Vice President for Leadership:
Less than two weeks ago I found myself bouncing around on the deck of a small boat in the ocean waters off the coast of Canada with some of my favorite people in the world. I was wet and cold (and maybe just a bit seasick) but that morning will likely go down as one of the most memorable events in my life.
You see, a group of us had gathered at the home of Liz & Aaron Parkinson to celebrate with them some significant milestones in their life. It should come as no surprise to those of you who have attended one of our Master Marketing Events, which are creatively envisioned, meticulously planned and perfectly executed by Liz (our own in-house Events Planner), that their hospitality during this celebratory weekend was nothing short of spectacular.
Even so, when we found ourselves on a privately chartered whale-watching excursion none of us really had any idea what to expect. We had been warned – none of the excursions the day before even saw a whale. But an hour and a half out through choppy waters we spotted plumes of spray from a pod of five whales moving through the area. Our boat was joined by a handful of other whale watching companies as we turned off our engines and watched these beautiful animals from afar.
Prohibited by law from approaching any closer than 100 meters, we relished the half hour spent slowly and carefully tracking this pod without infringing upon them. But then, suddenly, the pod turned our direction and as their black and white bodies arced out of the water it quickly became apparent that they were headed straight for our boat.
In what seemed like mere seconds the whales arrived at the stern of our boat, surfaced within a few feet of us, dove under the boat and emerged on the other side with a spray of water out their blowholes.
Standing on the rainy deck of a boat rocking on rough waters it was nearly impossible to comprehend in the moment the significance of what was taking place as these whales literally swam up to us and checked us out.
Looking back, though, there are a couple of things I’ll carry with me forever. First, the reaction of our “naturalists”, two young women well educated on the marine life in the area who served as our guides. As the whales swiftly approached our boat they were giddy with excitement, bouncing on their toes and clapping. In the years of taking tourists out to experience the whales, never had they had such a close encounter. It was the highlight of their career.
And then there’s Liz & Aaron. Our whale encounter was the cherry on top of a perfect weekend they’d spent months dreaming about and planning for. If we’d gone whale watching and not even spotted a fish it would still have been an experience to remember, but for their celebration to culminate with a once-in-a-lifetime face-to-face encounter with whales … well, it was like all of nature joined in the celebration with a big old wet pat on the back.
I’m really struck today with how much joy there is in celebrating other people’s wins. Sure, the whale encounter was cool for my family and me and we will cherish that memory for a lifetime. But sharing equal weight in my memories is the sheer joy of watching our naturalists jump up and down with total child-like enthusiasm and seeing the glowing satisfaction on Liz and Aaron’s face as they realized they had created the perfect celebratory weekend.
Imagine what the world would look like if every time we saw someone succeed we used any feelings of jealousy as a catalyst to redouble our efforts to make our own lives more successful.

Carbon Copy PRO Automatic Notification Feature
In the last post we discussed Carbon Copy PRO’s text notification service when you receive an application.
We promised to reveal another cool technical feature of CarbonCopyPRO’s Internet marketing system. Here it is:
Every time one of your applicants logs in to the “private access” Business Overview website (available to applicants only), you receive an email letting you know who logged in, along with a list of all their previous visits to the site.
Why is this important? Because you immediately know when one of your applicants has gone back to the website to learn more about Carbon Copy PRO. They are showing genuine interest. What a perfect time to give them a friendly phone call and ask if there’s anything you can do to help them make a decision.
By receiving immediate notification that one of your customers is thinking about becoming a CarbonCopyPRO member, you have the opportunity to be available right at the decision-making time.
Pretty cool, huh?
Further posts will reveal additional features of the state-of-the art Carbon Copy PRO online marketing system. In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the Comments section of any blog post.
Have a productive and fulfilling day!
Text Notification When You Receive an Application
One of the cool features of the CarbonCopyPRO online marketing system is text notification. In your PRO back office, you can select to receive a text message whenever you receive a new application.
Here’s the way it works:
1. A visitor lands on one of your Carbon Copy PRO landing pages
2. Your visitor likes what they see and they enter their first name and email address and submit the form.
3. They read extensive information about CarbonCopyPRO. They are looking for top-notch Internet marketing education and a state-of-the art online marketing system. PRO seems to fit the bill.
4. They purchase an Application Kit and then submit an application (answering questions to make sure they’re serious about building an online business).
5. You receive a text message indicating that you’ve received an application; the name of the applicant; and their email address and phone number.
6. You call (or email) your new applicant and welcome them to Carbon Copy PRO!
It’s an awesome feature that allows you to immediately connect with your new applicant; welcome them aboard; and let them know that you’re available to answer questions after they review all the material in the “private access” (applicants only) website.
And that’s not the only fancy notification feature in PRO! Stay tuned for the next blog post where we’ll tell you about another one.

About a year ago, I calculated that if you purchased individually each of the components provided by the PRO system, it would cost close to $1000 per month. Since then the company has added several new features which no doubt would raise the value of the CarbonCopyPRO system to over $1000 per month. The actual cost for members is only $149 (the first month is free).
