Now more than ever, it’s necessary to follow up. And nothing says “remember me” more than a hand-written note. I like hand-written notes because they echo you, your company, your brand. To that potential client, strategic partner or referral source, personal notes set you apart from others. When is the last time you received a hand-written note from someone?

I send hand-written thank-you notes to everyone I meet. I do that using a “virtual assistant” — a service called YourCoolCards.com — that’s able to send out one, or thousands, of cards, in my handwriting, with just a few clicks. When CoolCards.com sends someone a note, you encourage the lucky receiver to communicate with you, building an enduring relationship with that person or business.

Hand-written correspondence is a wonderful way to build your brand, acquiring new customers and partners, and keeping the business you have. Do you know that 68% of customers leave because of a perceived indifference? People want to be appreciated. These cards remind them of you and your thoughtfulness, long after they receive it. 

I’m all about love. Let your relationships know how special they are.

I have searched for income streams that could provide me with the freedom I need to manage my own time while being well rewarded. I was introduced to the candle business, a home-based opportunity that offered me the success I desired, but on my own terms.

Wanting to liberate myself from the ticking office clock, I also realized that I could not gain my independence with just any work-from-home business. I needed something that was steady, reliable and minimized any risk. And that’s when I discovered the home candle business.

While this opportunity provided me with the spark I needed, I still remember my reluctance in joining this business. I was no fan of candles, disliking the soot most candles emitted. But these natural-wax candles changed my mind.

Not all candles emit soot I discovered — some even emit good fortune — and my chosen brand of candles is tops in the home candle business industry distinguished by its unique gourmet, natural wax candles and very generous compensation plan.
