personal notes: Make it Personal with a Hand-Written Note
- 04/30/15 01:05 AM
Want to truly connect with your clients, loved ones or anyone who’s made a difference in your life? Get out a pen and a personal note and write them a hand-written message. That’s right—we’re going old school. In our technology-driven society, hardly anyone writes anymore. We email or text a short “thanks” when someone does something nice for us, or maybe we mumble it under our breath as we rush off to the next activity. Hand-written notes and letters are becoming a lost art. However, the rarity of receiving a hand-written note or letter makes it all the more special and memorable. … (4 comments)

personal notes: Reconnect With Your Clients Through Personal Notes
- 12/10/14 12:39 AM
It happens to the best of us—we lose touch with a client or two after the transaction has closed. We didn’t mean for it to happen; we just got busy, stopped communicating with them and the relationship fell by the wayside. Can you ever get that relationship back? Of course you can, silly! And a hand-written personal note is one of the best ways to get that relationship back. Why a personal note? In this highly digital age, most of us don’t receive personal mail anymore. Sure, that bill or circular is addressed to us, but it doesn’t convey a personal message. A hand-written … (1 comments)

- 08/30/13 12:07 AM
Be sure to say "Thank you" to the client who refers you. Clients who send referrals your way are the bread and butter of your business. As walking billboards, they refer you to their friends, families, co-workers and even the stranger behind them in line at the coffee shop.
