Looop Software Updates!

If you're not already aware, Friends, Well Aware has been building software designed to automate introduction management as much as possible!

Here's the latest on Looop's software development:

Looop Beta is LIVE!!!

Friends, do you want access to Looop? Tell me which email address you want to use (must be a Google account), and I will get right back to you!

Right now, here's what you should expect you can do within Looop Beta:

Add contacts manually;
Make intros using our default intro email template (or pasting right over it!), and;
You will auto-send feedback request emails 2 weeks after your intros are sent.

Next up, we are working on:

Allowing you to change the default intro email template to your liking.
Fixing a but that's preventing hyperlinks* from being inserted into intro emails.
Finalizing the intro feedback review experience.

*Pasting links [https://__] as they are works fine so consider that!

Stay tuned for more!

Final Thoughts

Friends, as always, be well, be aware, and by all accounts, be warm with all of your relationship management efforts! Please keep me in the loop with you.
