Will anyone be investing in this new product from Outward Image? I'm considering it, but of course, I'm a sucker for organizing stuff!! My office is pretty well organized now and I finally found a system for tracking contacts that works great for me, but this sounds good too....of course, I could return it if I decide I don't like it.....something to think about!

Here's the info from the website on it:

I responded to the request for input, so I received a coupon for $10 off. I just ordered it today. I do a lot of my calls and such on the road, so I love the idea. It sounds like it will suit my style well. Of course, if it doesn't I can return it, so I don't feel like I have anything to lose.

 

[PChefPEI]

Yeah, I got the coupon too. I'll probably break down and order it, 'cause I have no self control when it comes to this stuff!! LOL Sometimes, I just need to know that I'm not the only one so I don't feel bad about it!! hehe

 

[raebates]

I'm not sure whether knowing that I ordered it should make you feel better or worse. I'm also a sucker for this type of thing. I'm better than I used to be, though.I've been thinking about this system since they first contacted me about my input. After receiving the recent offer, I gave it several more hours' thought. I've used Julie's stuff before, so I trust it. Also, I really like that it's usable both as both desktop and portable.

 

[PChefPEI]

I think the fact the YOU are getting it makes me wanna get it too...gotta keep up with the popular folk, ya know!

I do wish she had pics posted. That would probably help me make up my mind. But, the fact that it's guaranteed makes me feel better. Of course, I never return those things, even if they're guaranteed!

 

[raebates]

Now, see, that's where we differ. I won't hesitate to return it if it doesn't suit me. That's money that could be spent on more office supplies.

 

[PChefPEI]

You have a good point....I need to learn!!

 

[PamperedK]

This sounds really neat but there's no way I can afford $100 for it!

 

[baychef]

If you are on the road a lot, and it helps your business, it will pay for itself. You have to make sure it increases your sales and/or recruiting to have it pay off.

Now you too have me wanting it too!! My van however, looks like a band of gypies lived in it, trashed it and trashed it again!!! I need to look into it more to see if it would REALLY help the hopeless!!

 

[raebates]

Just remember that right now it isn't necessarily available. Marie-France and I participated by offering suggestions, so we were offered a chance to make an advance order and save a little money. Ours won't ship until mid-October. My guess is that it will be available through the website around that time. So, you'll have a little time to think about it, justify it, clean out your van, . . .

 

[peichef]

how did you guys get this offer? I receive the newsletter, but didn't see this. maybe b/c I've never purchased anything from her?

 

[raebates]

A month or so ago they asked for input and suggestions. We participated. That's what makes us special. LOL!

 

[peichef]

I don't remember getting that email. weird.

 

[baychef]

clean out your van, . . .

Does the Furry Guy own a full sized bulldozer?:yuck:

 

[kaseydee]

There are pics of a prototype on the website. It looks kind of like a hardcase magazine holder that comes with a briefcase. I know it isn't a magazine holder but that is what it looks like sort of.

Guess you're not special like Rae and I, as she said!! ....just teasin'....you're very special!

Cool! Here it is - http://outwardimage.com/officeonthego.htm

Still debating....I wish the case would hold my planner binder (I use the PC black leather-looking binder)....not sure if it would.

AH...decisions....decisions.....

 

[peichef]

I got an email about it today. $100 seems like a lot of $$ for what it appears to be.

Yeah, I know! But, as I said before....I'm a sucker!! haha But, I must say that I have some of Julie's products and they are worth every penny!

Didn't order yet.........still deciding!

I think I will wait to see how you guys like it before I order it. I am going to go look at the pictures. Other than the carry case it kinda sounds like those plastic hanging file systems you can buy at WalMart...they are open on the top and look like a small crate. I have been intending to buy a portable file box at WalMart to keep in my van. My biggest problem right now is that the latch on my van's "trunk" is broken so you can't open the back end. So I have to load and unload from the back seat and it is a pain. I used to be able to just put stuff behind my seat but now I am taking 5 kids to school and their is no room with their backpacks and jackets. I have to figure something out though. I need to go to the dealer and get the latch fixed, but don't have time. I hate not being able to keep it neat.

The $99 includes an instructional CD and paperwork. And, Ann, The Furry Guy doesn't have a bulldozer, but he knows someone who does. That person is a friend who says he owes us several favors, so it's available whenever we need it.
