Every business professional trys to develop a system to help them follow-up on new contacts and existing relationships. When they don't need to re-create a system when SOC is the one solution that is perfect. I never realized the power of follow-up until I sent a thank you note to a potential employer. After I was hired there was a tie between myself and another applicant. What set me apart? I had sent a thank you note to every person I had interviewed with (even the one over the phone). That simple act and short amount of time got me the best job. WOW! Since I am in sales and meeting people at network functions is a crucial part of my job I started taking time to send a quick note and then would schedule a time for lunch so that I could get to know that person even more. This is most important if you in a new area. People like doing business or sending business to people they know. So take the time to take them to lunch and REALLY get to know what makes them successful and how you can be of use to them. With SOC incorporated into your routine, three things will be accomplished. One, you will leave a lasting impression on their mind. Two, it's an extremely affordable way to start the relationship building process. Three, it can help you stay on track with the reminders. Most business owners say word of mouth referrals is what brings the most lucrative business. However, word of mouth referrals is not system. So just imagine, if you could implement a referral system that producted consistent results. Simply staying in touch can help transform you business. I work for a local hotel and service scores are important when you are in the hospitality industry. However, there are also those occasions when uncontrolled things happen. Our honored guests can receive a snack in their room if they request one. On a recent occasion, a guest had requested his snack upon arrival and it was not in his room. He didn't say anything until he checked out days later. So I immediately sent him an apology card along with brownies and a promise to make sure next time he stays with our property that his snack not be forgotten. The next week I received a phone call from this guest. He said that when he got the card and brownies that he was touched that we would take the time to make up for the oversite. I simply stated that he was important to us and we thought he should know just how important. Several weeks later, his guest survey returned with outstanding marks. Making and keeping in contact with your area business professionals goes a long way. You never know who may have the next big piece of business you need.

As business owners our time is valuable and even though taking the time to touch base with our clients is part of job, there are sometime more important tasks that must happen in order to stay operating in the positive.What if you had a system that you could create a 3 , 6 or 12 month touch program and with the the simply input of the receiving person's address then the click of few buttons your client will know receive a postcard, greeting card, brownies or whatever you have chosen your touch program to be in just minutes.I was working with a sales rep. for a company recently who's corporate requirements are that you call the client 3 days after the purchase, then at 30 days to remind them of their 45 day return policy and then at 60 days to say thank you.She looked through the database of 12,000 cards and chose a postcard for her first touch. This card was sent up in the system to be sent out 5 days after purchase. Which would put the postcard in the clients hand shortly after her first phone call. The second was also a postcard. This one she also chose from the database of cards. This card was a reminder and sent out at 30 days so that her client would receive it about 10 days before her 45 return policy. The last card she designed using thePicturePlusfeature, her company logo and featuring her business card on the inside. This card was a way for her to say thank you with that extraumph.She took the corporate policy a step further. Her goal is keep her client retention high. We are going to track the progress. I will keep you posted on how this turns out for her. ...read more
