A Thank You in the Rain - A Simple Way to Make an Impact & Gain Agent Referrals

I think those simple thank you cards could go a long way everytime you have a new contact for a listing, showing, open house, etc.  I am not saying I do it on a regular basis, but I should. 

Thanks for the reminder.

I think anyone who sends a card makes a huge impact.  I really should incorporate that myself into my marketing for 2009.

I think cards is a great source of marketing. Going the extra makes a lot of difference.

The little touches that mean so much!  So nice he went the extra mile and that certainly down the road will be remembered should you need to send a referral in that area. 

Sending personal hand written cards has been a huge success for me.  I try to write atleast 5 per week.  The responses I get from these cards AMAZING!!

That is great!  The personal response makes an impact!

Consistently sending hand written cards is something I'm really trying to do more of this year. Like you said, it really made Rick stand out to you and that's our goal too.

Gotta a love someone who sends handwritten notes - You do it too Kim - I really appreciated getting your card in the mail ;-)

Excellent idea.  Sounds like you made a good connection and Rick sounds like a great guy.  I received a card from an AR member once.  It was nice because I dont think we said too much to each other before.  Now we talk periodically.  It was a nice gesture.

Kim:  I have had several contacts with Rick.  He really seems like a class guy... so this gorgeous thank you card from him does not surprise me.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care...

Kim- A huge thank you for the post mentioning my card!  I do believe that a card with a personal note inside makes a much larger impact.  Technology makes many things much easier in our business, thank goodness.  But, I look to make people remember how I make them feel when they touch my life- that's what this business is all about, the personal connection.  I hope to refer someone to you in the not too distant future!

I think that a gracious thank you is always appreciated especially these days. The internet is a great new frontier but nothing will ever replace a personal note of thanks!

Brilliant, and effective, idea.  Thanks Kim!
