OK I admit it even in this web 2.0 world we live in.......I still used sticky notes to jot down client names, emails, and numbers. You know the typical scenario: phone rings as you are racing down the aisle of the grocery store. New client that just punched through on your website or a sign call. "Hold on just a minute and let me get something to write on." For me that involves digging out some sort of crinkled overly used envelope or scratch piece of paper from my purse. As I desperately search for an unused corner that I can recover data from later I say, "OK let me get your name, a good email, and a good number to reach you on and I'll get right back to you on that."
Now in my hand is my Iphone which holds a plethora of resources at my finger tips and one would think I'd take a moment to punch in the info from a potential client. But noooooooo, I resort to my age related comfort zone and jot down in hieroglyphics the info given. Now I have gotten smart enough to repeat it back to make sure it's right (nothing worse than figuring out later you have wrong info). The goal is then to transfer the info ASAP over to my data base and not let a lead fall through the cracks
Well I'm here to confess I've turned over a new leaf......hello Mr. miniature spiral notebook. Yup, game on. Now I've got those leads in one place. Oh and by the way, it's a great CYA resource if you jot down the gist of client's conversations with date and time, log quick notes to self, and of course blog ideas!
