Staying In Touch Builds Strong Relationships
What about personal communication with friends and family? Isn't that as important as business communication?
The resounding answer is "YES!" It may be even more important than communicating with clients. Friends and family are, ultimately, the most important people in our lives. They will be there for you long after you retire from business.
 One way to keep in touch is to send a card. However, statistics show that only about 30% of the cards purchased at the local card store for friends and family are actually sent! Once it's finally purchased, the card is put on a desk and forgotten until the reason it was purchased is long gone.
What's involved in sending a retail card? After taking the time to drive to the store, look through dozens of cards, pay a hefty price for a "just OK" card, write on the card, look for the correct address, find a stamp, and get the envelope to the mailbox, people have spent a minimum of 45 minutes just to mail one card.
Subconsciously you realize how important cards are to the receivers, but often it's too much trouble when other things seem more important, and costs more for the cards than you want to spend.
So what's the solution to maintaining close relationships not only with family, but with friends as well? Want to learn more? Click here for an invitation to try out the best system ever devised!
