I'm doing great. It's great to be here. Thanks for having me, Chris. Thanks for coming. It's great to have you as well. Give us the dot coms wherever you
Starting point is 00:02:37 want people to find you on the interwebs. Yeah, I mean, they can just go to our website, simplynoted.com. It's just how it's spelled, S as in Sam, I, M as in Mary, to our website, simplynoted.com. It's just how it's spelled, S as in Sam, I, M as in Mary, P-L-Y, noted.com. Or just go to LinkedIn. I'm on LinkedIn basically all day. It's my number one social platform tool. Just look for Rick Elmore. I do a pretty good job at getting back people who reach out within an hour or so.
Starting point is 00:03:01 There you go. So give us a little bit of history on you. How did you grow up? What was your background? What got you interested in being an entrepreneur? Yeah, that's a great question. So I kind of grew up in like a middle-class family, had two very loving, supporting parents that were like small business owner
Starting point is 00:03:20 entrepreneurs, more like 1099 contractors. My mom was a medical biller um my stepdad also my football coach um for 12 years um he was a contractor so we grew up you know being his muscle making some money on the weekends hiking things up and down the ladder but grew up as an athlete i was extremely competitive my entire life um I'm kind of quiet, more reserved, but always kind of had like an inner fire, highly competitive, always wanted to be better. You know, I don't know why it just kind of was the way it was. My parents aren't at all like super competitive. They've always been like kind of a lot other us to be in the spotlight. It was, you know, it was really
Starting point is 00:04:00 nice to have parents that, but yeah, grew up athlete, went to the University of Arizona on a full-ride scholarship with my twin brother. Had a pretty good career there. I was a three-year starter for Mike Stoops and Mark Stoops, pretty good football-minded defensive gurus back in the day. Had a really good junior and senior year. Led the Pac-10 back then in multiple stat categories. Tackles for lost sacks, you you know pretty important stats for my position and then was drafted into the nfl in 2011 uh to the green bay packers yep got to live out my childhood dream played in the nfl for three
Starting point is 00:04:37 years but uh eventually you know the you know you have to hang the shoulder pads and cleats, and that's what I did. And I was kind of lost for a little bit. Like a lot of athletes, you know, that transition to life after sports is pretty tough because it's just so different. And I could talk for five hours about, you know, why it's so different. But I did what a lot of guys did, got into competitive corporate sales, you know, offered a lot of the same things, highly competitive, highly rewarding. It was challenging. It was, you know, you know, it was a really, I mean, it was a good career. But after getting more success there, my first year in corporate sales, I was rookie of the year, basically just took everything I was good at and athlete, hard work passion desire
Starting point is 00:05:26 perseverance strength grit get knocked down eight times or get knocked down eight times get up nine times um and then they you know the next five years uh it's either top one percent or top five rep for my company but just had like an itch i couldn't scratch um you know so i went back and did my mba my mba in 2017 and that's where the idea for my current business started about a year into my program i was in a marketing class and i had a professor going over all the success rates in marketing and um everything was super nominal like super unimpressive email cold call direct mail all these digital forms were like single digit success rates and he he ends the the lecture about three hours into this lecture. My brain is just like, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:10 numb from all these stats he's giving us. And he just he says the most important thing I probably heard in my professional career, you know, the light bulb moment was, hey, guys, you know, it still works better than ever is a good old fashioned handwritten note. You know, it probably works better than ever because, you know, we live in a digital world. It has a 99% open rate. It's rare. People appreciate it. So, you know, he basically was like, you know, trying to tell us to be better people and focus on relationships and get more personal. So I thought that was a great idea. And I mean, there's a lot more that came after that. And I know this is kind of a long introduction, but there's been a lot of pieces to this puzzle. But fast forward five years, you know, we have 11 full-time employees. We've developed the world's
Starting point is 00:06:54 best and only purposely built handwriting robot. We've invested over $800,000 into this thing. Holy crap. Six pending patents. Yeah, six pending patents. We had 380,000 users on our platform last month. We're completely customer-funded, no loan, no debt, no investors. So the journey's been wild, but it's been fun to say the least. There you go. What's it like starting a company and going through that?
Starting point is 00:07:19 I mean, you're used to working technically for other people in the NFL and, you know, sports. And I imagine some of the competitive nature that you had came from sports and being an athlete. Yeah, you know, I think you're kind of born with something inside you that makes you want to be an entrepreneur. You know, I was really comfortable in my corporate world. You know, I was making really good money. I was good at what I was doing. It was really easy to stand out because 90% of people didn't really even try that hard.
Starting point is 00:07:51 So those 10% of the people that actually try and care and constantly want to get better, it's easy for them to rise to the top. I've always prided myself on somebody, you know, off this saying, you know, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. I'm willing to work really hard to get or, you know, to earn what I want to earn. So it was a little bit of a shock, you know, going from being a W2 employee to being responsible for W2 employees. Because when you're a sales rep, right, your one problem is basically to manage the relationship
Starting point is 00:08:22 with the client. When you're an entrepreneur, every problem is your problem you know right is that could that not be more true yeah i used to tell people i mean i used to tell people i'm the ceo and the janitor yeah seriously like we clean our own office still so yeah i mean you, I would walk around my office and pick stuff up off the floor, mainly because I'm like, I don't want someone to trip over that or fall because then I get sued. But, yeah, I'm like, I'm the only one that picks up stuff around here other than the janitors that come at night.
Starting point is 00:08:57 It was always funny. People would be like, what do you do? I'm the CEO and janitor. Yeah. Well, I think, you know think being an entrepreneur is an incredible opportunity because the amount of personal, professional growth that you get from being an entrepreneur is unlike anything else I'll ever have in the world. I always tell anybody who wants to be an entrepreneur, if you can do it, do it. Because you'll jam 40 or 50 years of corporate experience into five years of being an entrepreneur because of just all the self-development that you have to do. You have to learn, you know, sales, marketing, you know, building websites, SEO, you know, follow-up product development, you know, taxes, like everything.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I mean, everything about a company, when you're an entrepreneur, you have to start it out. I mean, as your business grows, you can delegate it, but you're responsible for everything in those first few years. There you go. And we've talked about how we've had authors on the podcast that have talked about how important a personal touch is, how important it is to delve into your current clients and ask for referrals from them as opposed to just trying to get new clients because the cost of getting new clients is usually vastly more expensive than getting referrals from your current base. So how does your service help people?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Give us a kind of rundown overview of what it does. Yeah, so those stats you just said are extremely powerful, and we talk about that all the time in our business. It costs five times more to acquire a new client than just upsell a current client or a happy client. 80% of your clients don't feel appreciated, so that's eight out of 10 of your clients don't feel like they have a good relationship
Starting point is 00:10:38 with your brand. Of those 80% of those unappreciated clients, 50% of them will just try a new business or a new product just because. It's not for any other reason besides they don't feel committed to you. So it's simply what it is, is we try to integrate, automate, and scale your relationship and brand loyalty by sending genuine, personalized, handwritten notes. And the way that we do that is with software or just simple spreadsheets. So we can use either our website, a Zapier integration, an API integration. We basically work with any software that's open in 2023. We can figure out a way to set up a trigger to send a handwritten note.
Starting point is 00:11:18 But what we're trying to do is just make new. What was old is make it new again. But we're just trying to add a 2023 technology twist to it with a robot. At the core of our business, we're a relationship building business, but we do also have a lot of people who send handwritten notes for business development because the open rate is so high. It's a 99% open rate. Nobody's competing this way. Everyone's doing the same thing that everybody else is doing. DMing, text messaging, knocking on a door, cold calling. Right. So it's really hard to stand out nowadays. So we just really believe, you know, we're a, male, you know, the further we move into the digital and AI revelation or revolution.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And we're just as excited to be a part of it because we really do believe, you know, the personal touch and relationships matter most to business. They really do. And like I say, I have handwritten notes sent to me. The PR companies will send one. I think I've seen one recently. Yeah, in fact, I have one here. This is from Loon Cube.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And so I'm not Sony Winsling. Chris really doesn't save cards that are written. Yeah, they've written a personal note here. Hi, Chris. Hope you love your curated press package and their name and the company. So I save these. Like, I really do. I feel kind of guilty when I throw them away.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Like, I really feel guilty. Like, somebody. And I think the novelty, if you want to call it that, the uniqueness of it. Because, you know, it's kind of like when I call people and do sales now, if I get on the phone with people, they're like, you really get on the phone with me? It's so weird. But it used
Starting point is 00:13:05 to be in my day when you were a salesman and probably in your day too when you sold you know when you're doing phone sales or when you're doing uh you know i would have to drop by offices and get past that what we call the gatekeeper you know the secretary for the buyer agent for whatever the company was and trying to get through her was a nightmare. And the guy's like, come on, Chris, I got like 100 of you guys calling me a day and driving me up a wall. And now when you call people, they're like, oh, we can have a conversation. This is really unique.
Starting point is 00:13:39 No one does this anymore. So I think that's one of the great, unique aspects of the handwritten thing. And what I understand is about yours, you've got six patents, and this is really a handwritten pen that writes this. This isn't like just a print that looks like it's written in autographing, right? Absolutely. So we spent about three years developing our handwriting robot. We just got done a few months ago. There's just so many iterations that went into it. We have six patents pending, so three design, three utility. We're the only company in the world that's actually built their own handwriting robot. There's obviously a
Starting point is 00:14:17 competition in everything that you do, right? There's Apple, Samsung, Ford, Chevy, right? We're just the only company who's actually built their own handwriting robot. Some other companies just use old technology like an Axie draw pen plotter. And to the average person, they may not know why that's not a good option for them, but for the big companies where they need to have the best handwriting quality,
Starting point is 00:14:38 the best quality writing possible, that's why we built our handwriting robot because we can control everything about it. But like you just said, you know, you know, given the example of, you know, standing out and starting off on the right foot, you know, when you send a handwritten note to those people, you're automatically doing something different, which sets you apart. So when you do reach out again, right after you do set yourself apart in the beginning, they're more willing to talk to you. So it breaks down that wall and makes it a little bit easier to get over, especially if you're in phone sales. Like I was in medical sales and a lot of it was face to face. So usually you can win on like your
Starting point is 00:15:14 personality, you know, having a good conversation. But when you're on the phone, it's really hard, you know, to develop that rapport because you can feel energies, right? When you're with somebody, you can feel the authenticity. You can feel that they're comfortable, not comfortable. And it's really hard to do that over the phone or through a screen. So when you do send a handwritten note, that impacts them, right? So that is an energy sharing, you know, impactful, important, you know, thing that no one else is doing. But when you do reach out, you're automatically starting on a different foot than anybody else. So yeah, I mean, I always say
Starting point is 00:15:47 we drink our own champagne over here. We use our own product all the time for marketing and relationship building because it's just, it works. Handwritten notes work. And there's tons of studies out there that just talk to you about the effectiveness of open rates and how relationships matter.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And we're just trying to make it easy to do that. There you go. We've gotten handwritten notes sent to us for the show. Thanks for having us on the show. We get them from PR agencies. It just makes all the difference. But you guys really help scale it so that if a company... It's kind of easy for a couple of these PR agencies because there might be five people working there. It's easy for them to run out of note to me. But you guys really help it go to scale where companies can send anywhere from a small amount of notes to a large amount of notes. And they can buy a whole pack of them. Talk to us a little bit about how that works. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:38 So where we really thrive is in the relationship-building industries. Because if you think about it, like, if you don't have a client, you don't have a job, right? So it's like really easy to explain, like, if your client doesn't pay their bill, like your business will fail. So, you know, like the insurance, real estate, mortgage, you know, political, you know, nonprofit, right, where relationships truly matter. That's where we thrive. And they have, you know, hundreds, if not 1000s, if not 10s of of thousands of people that are involved, you know, on that journey with them. And it's really important for them to, you know, keep them happy so that customer attrition doesn't, you know, constantly, you know, go down every single year,
Starting point is 00:17:17 because the worst thing about building a business is trying to keep a leaky bucket filled, right? Imagine just sitting there nonstop, right? You have a hundred clients, but you lose 50 every year to bring on 50 more. Like that is a nightmare. So we just operate really well in those spaces where, you know, it's really impossible to stay top of mind, you know, all the time, do it on time, right? How do you automate a birthday card, you know, for 500 people? You're just going to get busy. You're going to forget to do it. Or how do you send a handwritten note out once you're thanking them for their loyalty? You just, you can't do that a thousand times. And we just want to make it easy for them to do that. Definitely. Definitely. And the numbers don't lie. To quote some of the stats you sent me,
Starting point is 00:17:57 you run into a 300% higher open rate versus print mail. You have seven times ROI versus print mail. CPA is five times more expensive versus maintaining current clients. 5% improvement in client retention. Increases profits 25% to 95%. And upselling happy clients is 75% more successful. You know, a lot of people need that follow-up. And then, of course, this is probably a great way to encourage referrals from people and also maybe to identify problems if somebody's not happy.
Starting point is 00:18:32 They go, hey, I didn't really like the product or maybe the product didn't work. Maybe they have questions that you can, you know, I know some of the Amazon sales that I put when I buy stuff, they'll follow up with a questionnaire. Hey, were you happy? Can you give us some stars or referral? You know, is there any questions you have and can kind of help identify maybe thing errors where you fell short in the sales process or maybe the client isn't quite happy and maybe it's sometimes it's just an education thing. You have to go, oh, well, you put the thing over that way instead of the other way, and it works better for you, something like that. And the client's like, oh, okay, I was using it wrong. And so it gives you a chance to identify problems or issues that the client may
Starting point is 00:19:15 have that may keep them from coming back in the future. Yeah. So you're just giving a bunch of different examples of how to use this. And I think that's one of the cool things about this like what happens usually somebody requests a sample kit from us okay and once they see it they're like like that's when their mind's blown they're like wow these aren't printed these are actually pen written and then they call us with like then that's when their ideas go off they're like hey this is how i want to use it you know and then they'll call us and say hey can you can you help us with that follow up after a bad experience? Or, Hey, can you help us with a follow up, ask for a review or, Hey, can you help us with reach out to our clients and ask for a referral?
Starting point is 00:19:54 You know, so that's what, you know, what you're just saying. I think you just really explained this type of product perfectly. There's just a handwritten note can be used in so many different ways. It's really just how can it best serve you. And that's what we do is we help you do that. Definitely. Definitely. It makes all the difference in the world. So people can buy different credit packs on your website so they can buy in different bulk sizes to help scale to how many they want. Anywhere from let's see one to price points break out at different places on the scale, but you can send anywhere from one note to 5,000 plus notes that you guys can handle.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yeah. Our largest orders have been in the hundreds of thousands. Anybody can go to our website and just send one. So it's really a tool that anybody can use. What happens most often is that somebody will go to our website and just send one and kind of test this out. And then, you know, they'll wait for somebody to, what happens is that person that they sent it to will send a text message thanking them for the card or call them like, Hey, I got your card. Thanks. And they're like, Oh my gosh, like, actually I didn't send that. Like I use the service and then they get really excited, but
Starting point is 00:21:01 yeah, anybody can use it. It doesn't matter if you send one or 100,000 or five. It doesn't matter. We're really trying to be a platform just to help everybody send real handwritten notes for their relationships. There you go. And does the card that goes out, the envelope itself, does that look handwritten as well? It's all handwritten, or it's all penwritten.
Starting point is 00:21:28 So the envelope's penwritten, the card's penwritten. It's all personalized, so hi, like first name, real forever stamp. There's no logos, no branding of ours whatsoever. If we're doing our job, which we try to do it really well, the person will never know that you use the service. That is awesome. That is freaking awesome. I think it's cool.
Starting point is 00:21:55 And people can request a sample off your site if they want to see what it looks like in person. They can go ahead and fill out their data there and get a chance to find out more about the service, see it in action. But I love the idea. Like I said, I mean, you saw the example I showed you before. I got a whole pile somewhere. In fact, like birthday cards, it used to be I threw away birthday cards. I'm like, yeah, birthday, you know, Christmas, stuff like that. But now it's so rare to get something to say.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Someone actually pulled it in where you're just like, wow's that's really personal that's from that person um you know it's not something they just hit print and sent you know some things that you've said uh during this call you know like what you just did like you you know went behind your your green screen there and grabbed a handwritten note that's still sitting on the desk like what other form of marketing material or sales material is going to get that type of shelf life where it literally sits on your desk? Like, are you going to sit there and screenshot that thank you email that you know is automated, print it out and put it on your desk? No, you're not. You know, are you going to screenshot that text, you know, that pointless text message that we know is automated? No're not yeah so um you know the shelf life
Starting point is 00:23:06 alone is just incredible you know like he said people save these for weeks months sometimes years you know you know they're very sentimental and um like you said earlier like a 300 engagement rate print mail has a 32 open rate so you might as well just take seven out of every ten dollars if you do a print campaign and just throw it in the mail. Like it just doesn't work. So there's this I mean, I'm obviously really excited about it. You know, I believe I believe in this more than ever. And I've been doing this for almost five years. It's just so different. It's just something. And it's not the only thing anybody should be doing. It's just another tool in the belt. I just think, you know, every business has relationships and you should reach out to them at least once a year and thank
Starting point is 00:23:46 them. Um, you know, without them, you wouldn't have a business. That's true. That's true. And, and that personal touch makes all the difference in the world. Uh, you know, I wrote on my book, I talked about how after 13 years of, of setting up my original companies, original clients, uh, for one of our companies, Silver Street Express. I'd done all the personal work. I'd done all the personal selling and the personal communication for the first few years
Starting point is 00:24:12 until I moved to our mortgage company and left it with our partner. But my partner, after 13 years, left. And what was interesting was I called those, I called all my original clients up, and they still remember me. They still loved me. They still connected with me.
Starting point is 00:24:27 They were so happy to do business with us. And it made all the difference having that personal touch. You guys have worked with Ford, NCAA, Marriott, Fairway, Edward Jones, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Keller Williams, Tesla. It looks like you guys can even print the stationary letterhead, sort of, if you will, the emblem or logo for whoever the company is too as well. Yeah, we're completely vertically integrated in our warehouse. What that means, everything from start to finish is done here in-house. We're not leveraging any outside, you know, corporate printers. Like, that's a problem because that's not efficient. It's more expensive.
Starting point is 00:25:11 It takes days, sometimes weeks, to get your stuff back. So, you know, where other, you know, print companies start or finish, that's where we start. We have the same, you know, $160,000 printing press in our warehouse you know the orders come from online to offline so if you put your order in online it literally gets sent right to our printing press printing this you know prints it we then cut it and score it then once we you know get done with that we run it through our handwriting robots once they're done with our handwriting robots we hand quality control it make sure it looks great once it's done with our handwriting robots, we hand quality control it, make sure it looks great. Once it's done with there, a person hand stuffs it, seals it, puts a real forever stamp on it, and it gets done. So we really try to just be a one-stop shop for all handwritten type of mailing projects.
Starting point is 00:25:56 We just try to make it super simple. There you go. And can people upload a bulk sort of mailing sheet so they can just send you a giant spreadsheet spreadsheet of everything and put in your systems yep and that's the power of our service as long as you have a spreadsheet you know with names and addresses in it it's just like mail merge so like you literally can send 10 000 personalized handwritten notes in like three minutes like you literally go to the website select your card take your mailing list and upload it and check it out. It's like that easy. And right now our current capacity, it just depends.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Our current daily capacity is between like 10 to 15,000 handwritten notes a day. It just depends on how long the note is, you know, what we're writing, you know, the size of it. You know, so there's a lot of variables that go into it. But, you know, we've been able to do a really good job you know with really good writing quality with the best technology the fastest production times there you go i think i'm gonna make a list of all the enemies and people that i hate and send it out every christmas like we do where where i mail it out to them i go just a reminder happy holidays i still hate you and you're still blocked on facebook oh don't do that that. Oh! Don't do that, people.
Starting point is 00:27:05 That's not nice. Don't do that. But no, I love the concept behind the service. And like I say, I'm proof positive of the difference it can make in getting more business from people. And we had an author on recently who talked about the power of getting referrals and the difference and how much that really makes to your business and getting those referrals you know they're just they're like gold when your client refers something to you and seeing the card come across you know usually when I see the handwritten cards I'm like oh I better open this this is personal there might be a hundred bucks
Starting point is 00:27:40 in there or something like uh for my aunt you know, you've got that. What haven't we touched on in the business and how it works that we may haven't touched on so far? I mean, I think we've done a pretty good job covering the backstory, you know, the technology, the handwriting robot, you know, really how we try to help people is either integrate into your CRM or software payment platform and automate it or just scale it based off a simple spreadsheet. I think a lot of people kind of jump into like the analysis paralysis and try to overthink it. You know, it's really just as long as you have a spreadsheet, it's super simple. If you have a spreadsheet with names and addresses, like this can be the easiest relationship building tool that you'll ever use. The most impactful one, too.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Integrates with Shopify, Salesforce, Zoho, MailChimp, HubSpot, Zapier, and other APIs. So you can just plug it in and start pumping any of these out to the postal service, and there you go. I mean, it's something that is unique and people don't see anymore. I think that's what makes it so special is that doing that. Well, this has been really insightful. It's been great to have you on the show and talk about some of the career. Any parting advice or thoughts before we go?
Starting point is 00:29:03 I mean, like I said earlier, if you are a person who's thinking about becoming an entrepreneur, if you can do it, I recommend doing it.
