📎Sales Tip(s) of the Week:

Be like SALES professionals in the 90’s and 00’s and send handwritten thank you cards to all of your prospects. You’ll stand out.

There used to be an unwritten rule when developing business relationships:

When you meet with someone new, send them a thank you card after the fact.

The thank you card was a form of engagement. It allowed for another “touch” while positioning a next step, or simply showed gratitude for your prospect’s time. The world was slower. We accepted stamped mail as our method for sending and receiving messages.

In the hustle and bustle of today’s culture, simply slowing down and taking the effort to handwrite a thank you note after a prospect meeting, and then sending it through the mail, will be seen as being thoughtful and different.

You’ll stand out. And in sales, that’s what you want.
