Are you giving your clients the recognition they derserve?
How do you communicate with your customers?
Do you send thank you cards to your clients?
Did you know that not saying thank you to a customer hurts your business more than saying thank you helps.
Let me say that again.
Not saying thank you hurts your business more than saying thank you helps.
What I mean by that is our customers and clients expect to receive a thank you; especially if they spend a lot of money with us. They expect us to at least acknowledge and thank them.
If I buy a house, I expect a thank you.
If I buy a car, I expect a thank you.
If I buy a Snickers I don't necessarily expect a thank you.
Big ticket items = increased expectations
If you don't send thank you cards to your clients, do you know what they are thinking?
They are thinking you don't care about them!
Studies show the reason why we lose 68% of our clients and customers is because they don't think we care about them.
Here is a simple solution I found to let my customers know I care about them.

For $5.48 a year I can send 4 custom greeting cards to my clients to keep in touch with them and let them know I appreciate them.
How much is one dedicated, loyal, and happy client worth to you? Is it worth $5.48 a year?
If so watch this 3 minute video for more information:

Once you watch the video, email me back and I'll be happy to help you get started.

Can you SELL just by being YOU?
In today's world of marketing message overload, people aren't looking for your snappy pitch or your cleverness. They just want to connect with YOU, feel heard, feel seen, and feel like they matter so they can find a solution.

To engage means "to occupy the attention or efforts of a person; to attract and hold fast; to attract and please".

The dirty little secret we all try to hide
Even some of the most experienced business owners carry this dirty little secret: they hate to sell. It's ironic because selling and buying are what keep us in business. So why the disconnect?
Here are a few of the usual culprits:
---> You don't want to be pushy- everyone has a horror story of a pushy salesperson and you certainly don't want to be lumped into that category
--->You fear rejection. You make a great offer, someone says "No" and you walk away feeling an inch tall. Ouch.
---> You hate slipping into "sales mode". It doesn't feel natural and you hate yourself afterwards.
What if selling could happen just by being YOU?
What if your normal day to day actions sparked trust so sales flow effortlessly?
What if you discovered your most persuasive tool was to simply engage with others?
If you struggle with these dilemmas, you're not alone... the great news is there is a solution and it's so much easier than you think!
My friend Nancy Marmolejo is a well known visibility expert for entrepreneurs. She teaches you how to turn your visibility into profitability - but she has a way of doing this that builds trust and lifelong clients.
It's the fine art of ENGAGEMENT.
To engage means "to occupy the attention or efforts of a person; to attract and hold fast; to attract and please".
Imagine if your focus was NOT on prowling for prospects, but about creating emotionally connected engagement that turns followers into fans, fans into clients, and clients into repeat business year after year.
For the first time ever Nancy is giving this topic its own stage in a very special virtual event- and I want you to be part of it as my guest... AT NO CHARGE.
It's an all-new, powerful training series called "Engage and Persuade: The Effortless Path to Sales Success" and it starts very soon- August 6th!
https://vivavisibility.infusionsoft.com/go/training/a495

Improving The Future
Successful people are always people with foresight. It is imperative for us to
understand this and improve our lives not just for today, but also for the future.
Let us analyze The Secret’s approach to this.
Imagine a world where every person was using the Secret to follow their bliss – a
world where every person was fulfilling their purpose, reaching out to help
others, and allowing the will of God to flow through them to create miracles.
Chances are it would look a lot like heaven. Every person safe. Every person
holding everything they need.
You might want a huge house on the hill. Another person might feel abundant, at
ease, and happy with a small, quiet, rural cottage. There is no need to fear
competition, no need to imagine that you must profit at anyone else’s expense.
You must attract the situations that will allow you to profit at everyone’s benefit.
Does the world have to be a dark place, full of wars, full of abuse, full of pain, full
of madness? Are we somehow special, just able to ignore our way into good
things by focusing on the positive?
No. Until others are ready to move forward it is our responsibility to make our
thoughts create positive change. It is our responsibility to take the actions and be
receptive to the ideas that are going to make the whole of the world grow.
Bless others! Show gratitude for all of the ways the world has moved forward.
Once people believed slavery was perfectly normal. Now, even though there are
people who practice slavery illicitly, we all generally understand it is wrong. Even
those who engage in slavery understand it to be wrong. That all began with the
thoughts of those who believed things should be better.
We all have the ability to move forward in this fashion. We cannot fear the way
the world is today. We cannot sit back and hope for some bright future that never
quite arrives. We must work together to create heaven on earth now. We have all
the tools we need.

How to Apply the Secret to Internet Marketing
When you set out to make money on the Internet, you are going to play in a very
equalized pool. Everybody goes to the same internet. Everybody gets the same
Google, the same Facebook, the same Squidoo. Any two people can find the same
forums and the same article directories. At any given time there are hundreds of
thousands of people from all over the world that can make you a success:
potential customers, mentors, and business partners.
It is all there. You just have to find it or use it correctly.
Yet 99% of all internet businesses fail. In spite of having little or no start up
costs, in spite of having little or no overhead, the businesses do not turn out the
sorts of results that people had hoped for, and so they give up. They go on to
something else. They decide it doesn’t work. They go out skeptical and they leave
certain: certain that only scammers and the very lucky make money from home
on the internet.
Yet there are hundreds of thousands of people who are making money on the
internet, making good money. They follow high ethical standards. They provide
real products of real value. They live the kinds of lives they want to live.
This is why the Secret applies to internet marketing so strongly. If you believe in
yourself and what you are doing, you won’t throw in the towel when traffic to
your site isn’t what you’d envisioned. You’ll figure out how to make it better.
You won’t balk at the sudden writer’s block you get when trying to make a solid
forum post to help get your name out there—you’ll learn ways to beat the block.
You won’t make a slipshod effort that looks slipshod and feels slipshod and
produces few, if any, results.
You’ll learn what works and you’ll apply what
works. You’ll do what you love and love what you’re doing because that is what
you set out to do, and through the Secret you understand that every resource you
need to make it happen is in the Universe generally and there on the internet with
you in particular. You’ll constantly be thinking hey, I’m as capable as the next
guy, if he could pick up the skills so can I. You’ll pick up the skills and you’ll keep
right on going.
There is a time delay between each component of the Secret: your thoughts and
decisions, then your actions, and then the results of your actions. You might not
wake up today with thousands of site visitors. Your efforts today might not
produce immediate results. Quit training yourself to the immediate result. Acting
like you already have what you want gives you the strength and power you need
to keep taking the actions that will get you there. Acting like what you want is
always in the future will place your actions in a different place: in a place where
they are not getting done and you are reading worthless emails to distract
yourself instead.
