Surprise Someone with a Note Today.
By Linda Davis
I’ve attended the Howard Brinton Conferences for a number of years and have listened to his Star Power Tape Series for even longer. One of the ideas that has stuck with me since I heard it …. Star Bob Wolff’s routine of writing notes every day to not only clients, but to average people he comes in contact with. He has some amazing stores of how a simple note “touched” someone enough to create future business for him…a waitress, a cab driver, the gas attendant. I’ve tried to keep up the routine of writing short notes but need a reminder occasionally. I’ll consider this my reminder for the New Year. In the email age, people are really surprised and pleased to receive a personal hand written note. I’ve even had people call to thank me for a thank you note!

Linda - this is so true! I went to a conference last year and within a week of returning received personal notes from two people I had met. I was so impressed by both, it made my day (and a year later I still remember who they were). I also received several emails, but the personal touch of a good old fashioned hand-written note really was something special.
