I’ve been a sales professional for 34 years, I’ve written articles on various aspects of sales and if there’s one thing I know above all else, it’s the value of a strong business relationship. Having a strong business relationship can be the difference between winning or losing business. It’s that powerful. Are you interested in making more sales? Do you want to create stronger connections at networking events? Do you want to make an impact when following-up with a prospect or customer? Would you like to create a campaign that will get noticed? Are you interested in improving personal relationships, remember birthdays, anniversaries and personal accomplishments of those you care about? How would you like to become an Ace of Connections?

Building rapport and follow-up is the gateway to increasing sales, building your integrity and improving your brand. How do you build rapport? How do you follow-up with your prospects and customers? There’s a saying that the money is in the follow-up. I‘ve used a system for most of my sales career that has been invaluable in creating long term business relationships. The downside to it was the cost and time commitment. No more! What if there was a simple system that was easy, cost effective and gave you an edge over your competition? More importantly, a system that your prospects and customers would appreciate?

Regardless if you’re a sales professional, realtor, financial planner, nutritionist, business coach, speaker, trainer, network marketer or any profession where people are an integral part of your business, this system will give you an edge over your competition. If you attend events where you make contacts like networking events, association meetings, trade shows, etc this system will give you an edge over your competition.

Connecting with people is all about creating and building relationships. As an example, let’s say you attend a networking event. You meet people, collect their business cards and then follow-up. To make an impact you should follow-up with a handwritten card. In the card, tell the person how much you enjoyed meeting them and recap your meeting. This has a long lasting impact, the recipient will appreciate the effort and you’re on your way to building a long lasting business relationship.

I know that hand writing cards takes time, can be expensive and time consuming. What if you could achieve the same result without having to hand write each card, for a fraction of the cost and it wasn’t a time consuming activity?

You can also use this system to build relationships on a more personal level: Remembering birthdays, anniversaries, etc of the people that mean a lot to you in your life. I. How did you feel the last time someone sent you an unexpected card or gift?

The impact of doing this is fantastic. I can’t begin to explain the importance of doing this with everyone you meet. It’s the important step of following-up that gives your customers, prospects, contacts and referrals the confidence and trust to work with you. The trust and integrity you will build will put you over the top with your competition and you will be on your way to building a long lasting business relationship.

Email: I know what you may be thinking. You use email instead, right? You send a quick email from your laptop and you’re done. I use email in the right setting but this is not the right setting for email. Why? Busy business professionals get hundreds of email messages every day. First of all, how do you know your email or e-card is going to get opened? Emails often end up in junk folders. Most importantly, email or e-cards lack the personal touch and do not make the impact of a handwritten card.

I have found and endorse a system that I wish was available in my early years as a sales professional.

• All you need is a computer and an internet connection and you can use this system from anywhere in the world, even at 35,000 feet!
• This system makes building a business relationship and follow-through a snap!
• You will deliver messages with a personal touch and it won’t take up hours of your time. The company prints the card, stamps it and mails it for you.
• You can choose from 16,000 cards and postcard designs in various categories.
• You can use a card with a message already written or write your own message.
• You can create a campaign that will make an impact. This system allows you to pre-set when the cards or postcards are mailed.
• You can use a font that emulates your own handwriting…with your own signature!
• You can add your picture, photo’s, a gift card or a variety of gifts.
• All high quality cards similar to what you purchase in a card shop for a fraction of the cost.
• This system comes complete with a contact manager and it’s easy to transfer names from your current contact manager.

What used to take me hours of handwriting cards, putting them in envelopes, sealing the envelope, placing stamps on them and mailing them now takes minutes! You can do this online from any location!

This system allows you to program when cards are sent out so you don’t have to keep going back to individually send them yourself.

It’s a simple system:

• Select the card or postcard.
• Write your message, upload your picture, add photo’s, etc (You choose what to include).
• Address the envelope.
• Click “Send.”

That’s it! The company prints the card as you designed it, stuffs it in the envelope, prints the return address, the recipients address, stamps it and mails it for you.

If you’re ready to take your business, personal relationships and follow-though skills to the next level, then you’re going to love the benefits of this system.

I’m going to let you try it for FREE so you can see for yourself how easy it is to use. No obligations, no strings attached. I’m doing this because as a 34 year sales professional I know firsthand how much of an impact this system will make on your relationships.
