Why send greeting cards?
I went to all the networking meetings. I met prospects. I called prospects. I sent e-mails. I sent flyers.
But, I still found myself reluctant to ask for business over and over when no business was forthcoming. I was getting discouraged.
Then I discovered a simple on-line greeting card system. I used greeting cards to keep in contact with prospects. I sent thank you notes. I sent notes of appreciation to people. I gave leads to other people. I tried helping others find ways to improve their business.
I began to actually establish relationships.
Clients called me after getting a card. Referrals began to increase. Clients asked how they could send cards. I had a new business.
I hardly ever send a card.
Really? What difference does thank you mean anyway.
Yes, I know, most of us never send a card. I never sent cards. With this easy system, I sent cards to friends I had not talked with for over 30 years. I got calls from many of those friends. That felt great.Did you know that only 3% of our mail is personal?
What do you open first? The greeting card! We all want to know what somebody thinks of us, especially if it might be good.
I love to get cards. Maybe that should have been a clue. I just never got around to sending cards.
People build businesses using greeting cards. Tom Hopkins and Joe Girard are examples. Why can't you or I do that?
Just can't think of an occasion
A list of holidays for almost every day
You need a holiday, then just take a look at these bizarre holidays. Never lack an excuse for sending a card. Could greeting cards help you become President?
Thank you notes were part of George H. W. Bush's path to the White House.
George H. W. and Barbara Bush sent a thank you note to every volunteer and host they met. Many credit that with getting him to the White House.When you meet a prospect, the single best thing you can do is send a thank you note. People will be amazed. You will be remembered. Try it!
