Like a lot of young men, about the time puberty hit and I was interested in trying to talk to girls, the thought of “what do I say “or “how in the world do you do this?” seemed about as impossible as Quantum Mechanics. As usual, young men trying to express interest in the opposite sex would just plain overthink it, go through 5 million worst case scenarios and absolutely sure that we would screw it up.
In stark contrast, girls and guys who were my friends were no effort at all. Talking to them was a walk in the park, no Problemo, no anxiety. Since I attached no worry of failure, I could spontaneously talk to any one of them about anything anytime.
You may find yourself drawing a similar “blank” when trying to come up with what to say to Clients, Customers, Suppliers, etc. No, you're not attracted to them…you're just too worried about all the consequences that “might” happen. Instead, just make simple statements: “Nice to Meet You,” “Great to have lunch with you,” “Enjoyed having coffee.”
To help you through this conundrum, Send Out Cards developed our “First Impression Series” consisting of either “It was Great to Meet You,” “Thank You Very Much” and “Celebrating the Possibilities” available in beautiful ebony black and brilliant pearl white. How easy is that? Or just make a card saying simple statements about the interaction. We find that people are more impressed that you took the time to ACTUALLY send them a card rather than the level of creativity, level of artistry, color, etc. Jordan Adler, our top earning SOC representative, sends tons of cards daily that just say very basic things “You Rock- Jordan” Just doing something for the Customer, Client, Supplier sends a message of sincerity, caring and helps cement the relationship. Being friendly is actually very easy- just be yourself- just be sincere.
We, at Send Out Cards, call it “Appreciation You can Touch.” Let Ralph show you how effortless and automatic it can be. Have a conversation with Ralph Harold, “guywithtwofirstnames.com,” avoid “perceived indifference” and “Take it to the Bank.”
