Dr. Drew’s Sales Tip of the Day
When I travel the world I always take a simple preprinted Thank you Card with me to give gratitude for those inviting me and those I met. In the age of electronic media taking the time to stop and write out appreciate thoughts illustrates a strong essence of customer service and concern.
Too many people take short cuts. They cite lack of time; I believe it is procrastination or laziness. The latter has no place in selling or in business. If it is business you want then you must be aggressive and get it. More importantly it only takes five minutes to write, sign and place a stamp on a thank you card.
Take five today and send a quick and courteous thank you for a recent client visit. You will be amazed at the return on investment.
And if you do not have the time or desire there is a new service available entitled Send out Cards. Too lazy to send your own, then simply upload your client database to one of the affiliate websites and send a card. The service prints, signs and sends the card for you. They even lick the stamp! If you want to know more send me an email and I will connect you with my friends Deborah and Barry Russell.
Thank you so much for your time!
