Do I Have To Change My
Long Distance Carrier?
Although CIM supports, endorses or can recommend several different
long distance carriers, it is NOT required that you change your carrier to any of the
carriers that CIM recommends. The choice is entirely yours.
ITS Technology offers various different flat rate
plans. Fiber Optic flat rate requires that you change your
carrier, while VoIP flat rate allows you to use the service with and
access number without having to switch your currently long distance
provider. Whichever technology you choose, you will save a bundle
on long distance.
The CIM Personal Fax Broadcasting Kit includes
step-by-step instructions to program WinFax Pro to dial your access
number for rapid faxing when using a VoIP flat rate plan.

Which Fax Software
Program Is Recommended?
The fax software that we use in conjunction with the CIM (PFB)
Personal Fax-Broadcasting Kit is WinFax Pro. It is one of the finest fax software programs
on the market. It has full faxing capabilities and can be used in lieu of a stand alone
fax machine. It can also be very beneficial to use even if you do have a stand alone fax
machine.
WinFax has the capability to broadcast to a group, which means that
you can import fax numbers and/or your business contacts into a group and with the click
of the mouse you can send a fax to everyone. It is also a great way to keep in touch with
your organization or contacts without having to take your valuable time to call each of
them individually.
WinFax will also allow you to schedule faxes for future delivery.
You can set up your fax flyer to transmit even if you will be out of town. Are you a late
riser, you can set up WinFax Pro to begin broadcasting while you are still sleeping.
You will receive instructions in your kit to
download a FREE 30-day trial version of WinFax Pro from the Internet. If you do not have
Internet access, for a nominal fee, CIM can send you with a trial version of the WinFax
Pro software on a CD.
The trial version of the software will last for 30 days. Then, if
you wish to continue using the software, you must purchase it. WinFax Pro can be purchased
directly from Symantec or from your local computer outlet for about $100. You can
also usually find WinFax on Ebay for about 1/2 the retail cost.
You will save more in one week by
doing your own fax broadcasting than the cost of the
software!
Symantec Corporation introduced the latest version of the software,
WinFax Pro 10.0 around September 2000. WinFax Pro 9.0 was introduced in September 1998. If you already have WinFax Pro 8.0
or 9.0 there is no need to
upgrade your software. Both WinFax Pro 8.0 and 9.0 work perfectly for personal fax broadcasting. We
provide the instructions to broadcast with WinFax for the versions 8.0.,
9.0 and 10.0 . Symantec does not offer FREE technical support for their
trial software, however
the online help within WinFax Pro is quite extensive.
CIM does offer technical support for a nominal fee.
WinFax Pro 8.0 System Requirements: 25MB Free Disk Space/16MB RAM
WinFax Pro 9.0 System Requirements: 57MB Free Disk Space/32MB RAM
WinFax Pro 10.0 System Requirements: 57MB Free Disk Space/32MB RAM
WinFax Pro 8.0 & 9.0 are for Windows 95/98 or
Windows NT
WinFax Pro 10.0 is for Windows 95/98, Windows 2000 or

Sorry, CIM does not support WinFax Pro 4.0,
WinFax Pro 4.0 is an older version of the software which runs on Windows 3.1

How Many Faxes Can I Send From My PC?
Technically speaking, your computer can fax
approximately 1500-1800 flyers in a 24-hour period. However, faxing
during the middle of the night is a no-no. Some people have only one phone line, which is used for
their phone & fax. Your prospects will not even respond to your offer if they are
awakened during the middle of the night. Responsible faxing is of the utmost
importance.
If you were to set up your computer to fax for
about 12 hours daily, based on an average of 1 minute per page with connection
times, you could fax about 700 flyers a day.
The fax numbers that you purchase from CIM, are
specially formatted for WinFax Pro and are pre-sorted by time zone, which will
allow you to maximize your broadcasting
time frames. You will receive fax numbers from each time zone
(EST, CST, MST, PST)
The CIM Personal Fax-Broadcasting kit includes a Numerical Area Code
List, State Area Code List and a Time Zone Area Code List.

What If I Only Have One Phone Line?
You can successfully do fax broadcasting with a single phone line,
however you will not be able to receive or make calls while you are faxing.
When you add up the amount of money that you will save on long
distance charges every month, you may choose to get a second phone line. The cost is
generally under $20 per month. (contact your local phone company)
Note: WinFax Pro has the capability to set-up and use two modems. With two
phone lines, you can nearly double your fax transmissions. Double your prospects, double
your income. Double your fax broadcasting and you can still do it for just pennies per
page.

Can I Still Use My Computer While It Is
Broadcasting Faxes?
Because Windows 95/98/NT and Windows 2000 multi-tasks, you can still use your
computer. Multi-tasking means that you can have several applications running at the
same time. WinFax Pro will run in the background and will not affect other applications
that are running. The only thing that you cannot do is dial into the internet, that is
unless you have two modems, an internet cable connection or DSL.

How Are The Fax Leads
Generated?
We compiles our own fax lists and due to the demand, we
may also use
list managers, who compile fax leads in a number of different ways. Ads are placed in publications, individuals respond requesting more information about
home-based businesses.
- Network Marketing companies that have dissolved sell their database
of distributors/members, which by the way are now looking for a new home.
- Numbers are captured from individuals that have obtained information
about home-based businesses through fax-on-demand.
Back to the Top
What Is The Quality Of The Leads?
While no list is 100% accurate due to the rapid changes in
todays busy world, CIM continually tests fax numbers. The lists
that you purchase from CIM are recently tested within 7-21 days) and
were 100% connectable at that time. There will be numbers that
will be busy when you
are broadcasting plus with the increasing number of internet users, most of which use
their fax lines for an internet dial-up, the amount of connectable numbers will vary at
any given time.
With WinFax, you will be able to view the status of any transmission
and see if the line was busy or if there was no answer. You can resubmit failed faxes at
another time. (Instructions to resubmit faxes are included in the PFB Kit)

How Can I Maintain My
Database & Keep The Fax Numbers Clean?
Maintaining your database is perhaps one of the most important
aspects of personal fax broadcasting. WinFax Pro is not a database management program,
however instructions are included in your kit to delete fax numbers from your WinFax
phonebooks.
Without database management software however, maintenance of your database
can become quite time consuming and repetitive. Spend your valuable time developing &
marketing your business and join the CIMple Solutions Lead Club, were you can be assured
that the databases are maintained and you receive a fresh supply of fax numbers every
month plus as a CIM lead club member, you will have access to CIMs toll-free fax
removal number &
email address to use on your disclaimer for anyone who wants to be
removed.

How Many Others Will Receive The Same Database Of Fax Numbers?
CIM has several databases of fax numbers. We have included a space
on our order form to indicate the business(es) that you will be promoting. We monitor our
lists to avoid supplying the same database of fax numbers to those who are promoting the
same businesses. We test, clean and format new lists regularly.

What Are The Legalities of Faxing? #16
The laws regarding fax transmissions vary by state. We have
researched and always act in accordance with the TCPA. Articles are available by visiting the Federal Communications Commission
website. http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/information_directory.html
Note: The fax numbers that we offer
to our customers are of individuals that have opted to receive
additional information based on the guidelines of the fax laws. We
test our numbers prior to distribution, which provides the recipients
ample time and the opportunity to request to be removed if desired, thus
providing our customers with much cleaner lists. Even with this
system in place, there may be times when an individual receives unwanted
faxes. There are several reasons for this.
- The remove instructions were not
followed correctly.
- They did not submit their remove
request prior to distribution.
- They have opted onto several lists
unknowingly and are being
inundated with faxes and no longer wish to receive them.
- They have requested to be removed from
another list. Many people
think that all the faxes they receive come from the same source
and
do not realize that they must submit a request for each fax
received.
- Human error
- And More...
Additionally, although the Opp Seeker/MLM
lists that CIM offers are generally
home based numbers, there are times when a business is opted into a
list, starts to receive faxes and the management gets upset. The
problem is that the majority of people do not understand how lists are
compiled and in the case with businesses, it happens most often because
an employee has requested information and provides the fax number at
their place of employment, which by law, gives the broadcaster the right
to fax to the number provided.
There are a multiple variations of the
aspects of list management and 99% of the time, the system works as it
is designed to, but there are times when something slips through the
cracks, so to speak, and must be handled individually. CIM has
been distributing fax lists for over 5 years and has never
has an issue with unwanted faxes that could not be handled by anything
but communication with a recipient.
Please Note: The advertising of
goods, products, or real property by transmitting unsolicited facsimiles
may be in violation of state and federal law, and may subject the
advertiser to civil penalties.
