When Don Draper said "You can't frame a phone call" it got me thinking. I'm going to ramble about it but I want to put it in the context of personal touches. I have a friend who sends me a birthday card every year without fail and I love the feeling. Getting an email is great, but how great is it to see a cute card, with my name and a handwritten note inside. I am now using this approach to thank people who have helped me. Be it after interviews, meetings etc, handwritten thank you card all the way!
It part of my "giving" strategy, because its bound to come around. That's just how the world works, believe it or not. Read the book Go-Giver, best $24 I ever spent. The ideas in the book are amazing, running along the lines of the Law of Attraction, but with a counter balance.
I'm just going to give you the 5 Rules of Success from the book:Law of Value: Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
Law of Compensation: Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
Law of Influence: Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.
Law of Authenticity: The most valuable gift you have is to offer is yourself.
Law of Receptivity: The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.
That's my gift to you.
