(This post won’t make much sense unless you’ve watched this video…)
Pretty moving, wasn’t it?
So - why was it worth mentioning on a BUSINESS blog, especially now that you’re crying and your nose is red and your mascara is running?
It’s just this. As soon as that video ended, you probably thought of someone in your personal life who really really needs to hear from you. You’re probably feeling a very powerful urge to call… to send a card…. to say “I love you” or “I’m sorry” to someone who means a great deal to you.
Please, act on that impulse!
And toning down the emotional angle a bit… I’ll bet you have business colleagues and customers who need to hear from you too.
People whose insights and experience you value. People who mentor you. People who make you smile, even though the sale didn’t go through or the boss (or co-worker or customer) is being particularly difficult today. People you’d like to get to know, or who need an “Attaboy!” or sincere “Thank you” from you.
Even in the fast-paced, competitive, and sometimes cut-throat world of business, we need to step back occasionally and remember that we’re dealing with PEOPLE. Not names in a database or numbers on a contact list. We prosper, professionally, when we develop relationships of warmth and trust with the people around us.
So don’t ignore promptings to keep in touch in your professional life, either.
I’m going to make it easy for you to act on whatever you’re feeling, right now.
If you’ve read this blog for a while (or if you know me from my business network), you know I endorse a web-based greeting card system that business people use to increase referrals, ensure repeat business, and strengthen relationships, professionally. It’s a powerful business-building, keep in touch system. There are plenty of professional reasons to use it.
But there are plenty of personal and emotional reasons to use it, too. And so I’d like to share it with you, and let you send a card to whoever popped into your mind after you watched the video. No cost to you.
Simply click on this link and follow the instructions on the banner to send a FREE CARD.
I’m not sure how long I can keep this offer up - I feel strongly about the message of this video, and will be telling lots of people.
But whether or not you use KeepInTouchSystem.com or a phone or an email - just for today, reach out to someone you haven’t stayed in touch with like you should.
As the video said, you’ll be glad you did!
P.S. Please leave a comment, or email me directly, and let me know what this means to YOU!
