Before Mr. Autoresponder: Personal Contact and Continuing Conversation
If you were a girl that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, your social calendar at school might have consisted of the following:
Gave a note to your friend on the bus. (This is how I used to fold and address my notes to my friends)
Talked on the bus.
Talked on the way to class.
Talked and played during recess.
Talked and played during lunch.
Talked after school waiting for the bus.
Talked on the bus on the way home.
Called each other and talked on the phone when we got home before, during and after homework.
Talked on the phone after dinner and before bedtime if our parents allowed it or snuck on the phone.
Wrote each other notes to give to each other in the morning.
Next day the cycle buy tramadol online no prescription starts over again. Wash, rinse repeat.
Lots of personal contact and interaction. Can you say the same for your business today?
You don’t have to go overboard but can you find ways to engage and keep in contact with your clients?
It’s not always about the autoresponder. Mix it up by sending them a post card or a surprise bonus just for being your client.
Are you keeping the conversation going with your clients and colleagues? Are you listening more than you are talking? Talk about what they want to talk about and offer them the solution that they are looking for.
Have you done anything differently lately to have better engagement with your clients and colleagues? I would love to hear your ideas!
