About Us
The Thrive Client Contact System is the brainchild of Tara Jacobsen (of Marketing Artfully) and Mary Dado (of Business Writing, Ink.) These two (fabulously) talented individuals have combined their love of marketing and writing to provide a solution to the age old question of small business owners – how do I get more leads?
By using the Thrive Client Contact System, small business owners contact their clients, prospects and suspects more – generating more business!
Tara Jacobsen, Marketing Artfully
Tara has been marketing obsessed for YEARS! In the .com heyday she worked at Digital Chainsaw as the Executive Producer of Web Design and Development and since then has owned a marketing company with a brief dip into real estate for a couple of years. She has successfully helped many entrepreneurs develop a plan for marketing and business success that focuses on client contact, systems for success and lead generation.
Tara is also an accomplished business speaker, trainer and coach with classes that include Business Marketing Planning, Social Networking Success, Blogging for Business and more! Mary Dado (of Business Writing, Ink.) has hit the nail on the head – if she can get 5 people in a room to listen to her talk about marketing it is a GREAT DAY!
If you are looking for a small business marketing plan like the Thrive Client Contact System or the 33 Touch Program, Tara brings her marketing expertise to help you grow your market share and increase your communication with your clients, contacts and prospects.
Tara is excited about taking her speaking and marketing show on the road and look forward to hearing what you all are doing in your businesses!
Mary Dado, Business Writing, Ink.
After retiring from 25 successful years in the technology implementation business, Mary Dado decided to derive her second career from the best part of her first by providing writing services.
Business Writing, Ink. provides everything from blog content to newsletter articles for business owners that are too busy running their companies to allocate time to these tasks. By providing excellent service at affordable prices, BWI’s vision is to work side by side with entrepreneurs and to be integral to their success.
Mary F. Dado has a major in Communications and a minor in English Literature. She began her career in New York City as a telephone system programmer for American International Group. She ultimately became a Technology Project Manager for Wall Street brokerage firms. The speed of that world and the pace of the technological advancements made it challenging for traders and bankers to attend requisite training classes. Mary therefore drafted and edited vendor documents that allowed people to conduct their dealings with carefully crafted guides at their side.
Mary is currently writing for clients in a wide range of businesses. She also provides proofreading and editorial services for writers, speakers, and trainers. Her current client base ranges from local Realtors to marketing firms to state governments.
Her work ethic is outstanding and her belief in maintaining clients for life is a steadfast one. By providing excellent service at affordable prices, BWI’s vision is to work side by side with business owners (and anyone who has anything to say!) and to be an integral part of their success.
Testimonials
I did the 100+ email 33 touch from you last week. I was overwhelmed with joy with the response I received from people in my top 100 that were in need of real estate. As of right now, I have one new listing from a past customer (right after the mailing), 2 rental listings and one listing lead from a past customer who is considering listing his investment home with me. 2 of my sellers emailed back to ask how we do the reverse offer. So I had about 6 responses. It does not matter the content of the email, it was just getting something from me! The two listings were from people I have not heard from in a while! It was amazing!!! This program works!! I can not wait to follow up with the phone calls, which for me is the hardest part! I am looking forward to making calls! Imagine that! It took this 33 touch program to spark me to do what I should be doing all the time! Jenn Doak (On my way to being a MEGA AGENT!)

Your training sessions today were so terrific – like I said that is the 1st time I’ve been at a seminar or training session that I didn’t put on my sunglasses even once (to take a quick snooze)!!!!! Also, I’d like to thank you for the personal help you gave me afterwards – that meant so much to me because it would have taken me forever to figure out what you did so quickly & effortlessly!!!!! You’re quite a gal & I feel very fortunate to have met you!! Keep up the GOOD WORK!!!!!

Julia Fishel of the Suncoast Partners
“I’m going to refer you to everyone that ever mentions the three words ‘real estate marketing’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Julia and her husband Matt have implemented the Thrive Client Contact System for Realtors already, utilizing the call scripts and emails to reach even more prospects than ever before. They have also taken their business to the next level by having professionally designed marketing materials! “Thank you for all of your hard work on our new identity. The website, flyer, notecards are fantastic. I send twice as many notes per week as I did before because I’m so proud of how we look and the confidence that follows. Last week I sent a note to an expired listing with no phone number. I got a call four days later asking me to list the property. No calls – just a card! Best investment we’ve ever made in our business.”
WOW! Tiara, you have exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. (yes, you may quote me on that anytime in any manner)
Brian Forrester (TriCounty Mortgage)
“I needed a way to contact both agents and consumers, the postcard program Tara developed for me has worded well for that. I have reconnected with two past clients and gotten numerous opportunities I would not have had without them.”
Lori Crawford – Trinty Real Estate Expert
“Each of us has what we like to call our lucky day. We don’t plan or prepare for this day; good things just happen to come to us out of nowhere. For me, one of my lucky days was when I met Tara Jacobsen with Marketing Artfully. Deciding to step back into the real estate arena was to say the least a little intimidating. I knew that I had to show great professionalism and creativity to capture a percentage of the market and the audience I was hoping to convert into clients. After sitting down with Tara and discussing the look and message I wanted to project, she was able to make my dream a reality. Every aspect of my logo design and slogan represent the caliber of my business and my beliefs that I offer to my clients. When meeting clients and/or agents for the first time one of the comments that I continually hear is how beautiful and professional my entire marketing package presents itself. Everything coordinates and repeats the message I want to send; elegance and professionalism is what you get when you hire me. It’s truly a pleasure working with a professional who not only listens, but creates within your ideas. Without Tara and her magic I would not have been able to achieve the success I’ve enjoyed in the short period of time.”
