How do you appreciate your clients and people in your life? We all need each other in order for us to grow, to maintain our businesses and our relationships.
When you don’t hear from the people in your business it’s called Silence. This is quite often what our clients often hear from us besides our marketing messages.
We aren’t in the world alone, we are meant to be together – as a community keeping each other safe, communicating what we feel and why we appreciate all those that we care about.
“One must be appreciative and have something authentic to offer.” It’s also where you take the time to really value and appreciate – give gratitude to those who really matter to you. It’s more than just saying “Thanks for a great job!”
For example, a jewelry store did a campaign and called the customers that recently made a purchase and to find out if there was anything else they could do for their customers. Each customer that received a call – 70% of them made another purchase. 30% didn’t buy again.
