Greetings Everyone!
One of the things we’re doing to start off the new year is to get all of our Amazon.com buyers — anyone who has purchased any one or all of the “IAM Success Tips” volumes from Amazon.com — into our system. Why? Well the primary reason is that we want to be able to issue update notices when existing editions are updated, or to pass on special bonuses that our direct customers enjoy. Participating in the round up is quick and easy (and free, and optional!)
So get “rounded up” today! Here is all you have to do:
- Track down a copy of your Amazon.com receipt clearly showing your name, the “IAM Success Tips” book that you purchased, your email address and your original shipping address
- Forward this receipt to “info at linksbusinessgroup.com”. Put the words “Amazon Round Up” in the subject line for fastest service
That’s it! You will receive a confirmation in 2 – 3 days that your name and book have been registered with us.
Questions? Please email us at “info at linksbusinessgroup.com”, or leave a message at +1 800 507 3480. Thanks in advance.
All the Best, of Identity Management Success
