It is amazing that 95% of prospects are not followed up after a convention. Your fortune for success is in the follow.

Following up with potential customers as well as your business organization is an integral part of finding success. It’s a well known saying at most all growing business organizations “the fortune is in the follow-up.” When you followup it shows you care and strengthens your relationships. It reminds others that a personal note using SendaGreatCard.com system helps them understand how useful and enjoyable a consistant system really is.

Here are a few proven ways you can use to follow up with others:

Power of a personal note, cost .62 + postage, time 2 min ROI $458.Who should you touch?

Judging from my NEW CLIENT’S response, I’ll say “yes.”

I asked her, as she wasn’t the decision maker, if she had anything to do with me winning the sale?
Her reply below:

Wellllll, I HAD to get 2 other quotes… but I showed one of the decision makers the incredibly thoughtful card you sent me and told her “we want him” before they went into their meeting.

Glad to do it, and glad you got it!

4. Don’t major in minor things

Basic friendly relationships never go out of style and pays 35% more income.

I am working with numerous insurance offices and they are always looking for ways to round out current accounts and encourage referrals. National statistics from the three major personal lines insurance carriers reported in 2008 that having three or more policies increases income by 35% and retention of the client by over 70%.

Here are two simple steps to help your current clients **FEEL** you really care and that they are not just a commission or pay check to you.

1. Send a birthday card only to the client you have interaction with on a regular basis.
a) If you have no interaction with the spouse or children do not send a birthday card to them. They do not know who you are or even care unless you are sending money or a age appropriate gift.

2. Make two phone call every day to current clients just to say hello and see how they are doing.
Friendly format for contacts.

How is work and your personal life?

Just to say hello and see how all those around you are doing.

Basic relationship questions technique “FORD” Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams.

Dream can be any big event coming up or something exciting you are looking forward to in the near future with in a year.

Professional productivity secrets- We Know but don’t follow
Someone once said that you could tell the difference between professionals and amateurs in any field by looking at the goals, the habits, the techniques, and the tools they use.

Goals
A pro has hard, tight, measurable goals that so invigorate them that action is a natural by-product. They look at those goals two or more times a day and visualize their successful realization. Amateurs usually don’t have written goals. They have excuses.

Habits
Pros carefully build new habits that let things happen automatically, so their minds are free to focus on what matters. Amateurs are often casual about habits and beg off with, “That’s just the way I am,” while they struggle with the chaos their poor habits bring every day.

Tools
A pro knows the advantage of good tools. The amateur tries to save $100, only to create a drag on productivity for years. In my opinion, good tools are a clear-cut mark of a productive professional.

Case in point: You want your doctor to use the best tool for the job when your health is at stake. And you want your plumber to use the right tool so the job gets done right and fast. If you buy all that, then why would you limp along with mediocre tools in your business?

One of the biggest mistakes a business can make is investing the majority of marketing efforts in attracting new customers and forgetting about past customers. Your current and past clients are the foundation of your business because without them, your business would not exist. It also costs far more to acquire a new client than it costs to generate business from an existing client.

Showing appreciation for your clients can set you apart from your competitors, increase loyalty, improve retention, inspire sales and even build relationships that last a lifetime. Reaching out to your clients is also an opportunity to remind them that your business exists. Effective marketing relies on repeat exposure and showing appreciation is an affordable and effective way to keep your marketing wheels in motion.

One note of caution: some companies and industries have strict guidelines about accepting gifts. This is especially true of media professionals and government workers. Gifts can be construed as bribes so when in doubt, ask your clients if such policies exist or stick to sending items with no monetary value.

Following are client appreciation strategies that can help you cultivate client retention.

1. Greeting Cards

The Guinness Book of World Records lists Joe Girard, a car salesman from Detroit, as the world’s best salesman. Girard earned the honor by selling 18 cars in a single day. One of his secrets to success is sending 12 cards per year to every single customer and prospect. There are dozens of major and minor holidays throughout the year and each provides a great reason to send a card.

2. Personal Notes

Thoughtful and unexpected thank you notes can be sent after client appointments, following a purchase or whenever a client has done anything deserving some appreciation. While sending an e-mail may be quick and easy, you will make a better impression by sending a note in the mail.

3. Invitations

Though it is important to recognize all of your clients, it is just as important to pay extra attention to your top clients. Spending time together outside of the office gives you a chance to cultivate the relationship by getting to know each other better (in the sales world, this is called “face time”). Consider inviting your top contacts to lunch, dinner, sporting events, charity functions or other events where you can spend time together.

4. Small Gifts

Flowers, books, a mug full of candy and other token items can make thoughtful gifts for clients. These can be sent on special occasions such as birthdays, holidays or anniversaries, or can be sent for no reason other than to show your gratitude.

5. Food

Everyone loves food. Consider sending cupcakes from your local bakery, providing a catered lunch at your client’s office or dropping off a tray of cookies.

6. Gift Cards

Sending gift cards for items or places your clients will enjoy can have an added benefit: they will think of you when it comes time to redeem the gift! Options include coffee shops, restaurants, movies, bookstores, office supplies or anything else your clients would appreciate. For even more mileage, consider partnering with another business and send each other’s gift cards.

7. Referral Rewards

The highest compliment you can receive is a referral to your business. This gesture deserves recognition in the form of a thank you note, discount on services or small gift card. Always acknowledge when a customer sends business your way.

8. Reverse Referrals

If your clients are business owners, look for ways to refer business to them. This is an unexpected gesture that is sure to set you apart.

9. Customer Appreciation Days

Designate one or more days each year to celebrate your clients. You could offer a customer-only secret promotional sale, give away lunch if you have a physical location or provide a special bonus to those on your mailing list.

10. The Gift of Information

Ebooks, reports, workbooks, videos and other types of information products can make great gifts. For example, compile a list of useful tips that your customers will appreciate and either deliver it via e-mail in a PDF document or publish it in booklet format to mail or hand out.

11. Host Events

Host a party or an open house at your office or a restaurant. If your clients are geographically dispersed, you can hold a virtual event by inviting them to participate in complimentary online seminars.

12. Life Events

If you know that your client is getting married, having a baby, being promoted or enjoying another major life event, send an acknowledgement–even if it is a simple card. Your gesture will not be forgotten.
