One of my favorite premium features in JibberJobber is the Get Contacts List page, which allows you to export your contacts from JibberJobber into various formats, including a .csv file (which opens in Excel). This is what I use when I send my newsletter to bloggers, or to family/friends, etc.
This allows you to slice and dice your data. You can see a two minute video here.
I asked my Twitter network how to merge a csv file and a Word document and my California buddy Walt Feigenson was kind enough to create a whole blog post out of it. You can read his post, How to use Microsoft Excel and Word to send multiple emails, at the link.
Why is this important? Because it helps you send newsletter-like emails to your contacts. This is HUGE and something I think every job seeker should do. How? Read this post on newsletters for job seekers.
What’s more, every PROFESSIONAL should do this, imho. In The Google Story it talks about how the Google founders sent their friends and family newsletters announcing what they were doing, their projects, etc. This was a personal newsletter.
Whether you have “the next google” or not, you should reach out to your contacts with a newsletter.
(thanks Walt, for the awesome post)
This is a serious, useful tool. Thank you!
