Lightbulb Share Your Biz Boosting Tips!
Hi, all!

A colleague of mine recently share a great marketing tip that he says has earned him a ton of business with almost no effort, so I thought I would share...

Whenever you make a new business connection or land a new client, be sure to ask them when their birthday is and set a reminder on your calender to give them a quick call on their birthday. Birthdays are very personal, and most people are very flattered and touched when you remember their birthday. Taking a few minutes to call and wish them a good day not only makes a favorable impression on them, but also keeps your name fresh in their mind. The next time they need work done, or one of their colleagues has a business need that you can fill, rest assured that they will think of you because of how thoughtful you were!

Please share with me any FREE and simple marketing and networking tips that you have brought you success. I look forward to reading your replies!

Toodles!

Hello Farah,

Thank you for sharing your story. Yes, it is a great idea to remember birthdays as well as business anniversaries and just sending a thank you note out of the blue for no other reason than thanking them for using your services

Andrea~
