7 Steps to a Powerful Note

We've all heard before that sending a personal note of thanks, whether it be for a gift or for after a meeting with a prospect, is one of the most powerful things you can do to stand out.

But did you know how you write that note, like the card you use, the words you use, even the ink can make a difference?

Below are the seven simple steps to a powerful note. Do this and you will be noticed.

1. Use unbranded cards with a symbol or monogram that represents you. It's a personal note; no card with company logo.
2. Use blue ink. It looks original and positive.
3. Words - Use you, but avoid I, me, my.
4. Be specific in your praise. Identify and acknowledge a characteristic, a talent, a unique quality.
5. Leverage the power of positive projection. Identify a personal characteristic you want to improve and express respect for others who possess that quality (Happiness, wealth, balance, etc)
6. Write rightly – Slope text slightly upward from left to right.
7. The power of the P.S. Use a P.S. as a call to action. Ask the recipient to take action such as e-mailing or calling.

Write these notes to past clients, appointments, or anyone else you wish to make an impact with. Write at least 25 per week with a compelling P.S. and opportunities will present themselves.
