When you’re in high school, people sign your yearbook just before the end of the school year, with whimsical, sentimental thoughts, like, “K.I.T.!!”
K.I.T.? Did that actually happen? No.
When you’ve met someone at a conference or had a casual lunch, often someone will say, “Let’s keep in touch.”
“Keep in touch”? Did that actually happen? Probably not.
When Happy Grasshopper says, “KEEP IN TOUCH”, these aren’t just words; we mean that you really should.
Keeping in touch with customers, clients, and friends--your sphere of influence--is one of the basic tenets of business. If you stay in contact with these people, they will continue to be your customers, clients, and friends ... because they’ll remember who you are! What could be more important than that?
Why is keeping in touch so important?
It’s important because anything that you’ve done for people in the past is, sadly, ancient history. Most people think in terms of “what have you done for me lately?” Even if you’ve done a great job for someone in the past, if you haven’t bothered to keep in touch, when those people need a service like yours again, they’ll call the last person they spoke to who provided it.
If you kept in touch, that person would be YOU.
Make sure you have a plan in place to keep in touch with your friends, your customers, your past clients ... everyone. Happy Grasshopper provides a consistent, easy way for you to keep in touch with your contacts without you having to worry about time spent or what to say. You never know when “the moment” will strike that any of these people will need your services. You want to make sure that you’re top of mind with them when that time comes.
Keeping in touch is the key, Happy Grasshopper is the way.
Stop other and request a sample. We’d like to keep in touch with you, too!
Isnt that what fb is for?
just kidding I hate fb but agree nothing like a little reach out to someone to lift their day and let them know you care!
When I sell a property the buyers will here from me for 7 years. Never know when the phone will ring with a new contact. Follow-up works.
Once someone is in my "clutches" they don't get away ever! (Unless, of course, I decide I want to lose them.)
K I T Yes...I do that. That is why I receive referrals.. That is Ones best Source of Business..
Thanks,

I think it's important to keep in touch in multiple different ways- personal notes, facebook, print newsletters, phone calls and EMAIL!! Not everyone uses the same method of communication :)
It is probably going to be 5-10 years before the client you closed a deal will move again. The quality of your communication with a past clients is a factor is whether you win repeat and referral business from them.
