.Get Ready for 2007
Have you measured and reviewed your results for 2006 as you plan for 2007? What can you do better and more effectively in the new year? What successes do you want your business to have next year? Here are quotes from business owners who use our Note-Working Success System with results that energized their year. If they did it, you can, too!

What you can do… Set goals for personal connections and get a system to make it easy to measure results.

“I truly believe that sending a note to someone distinguishes a level of customer service. I know the Note-working Success System is one of the key things that differentiates me from my competitors. Since using the system, my business has continued to increase as a direct result of my mailings. In one month alone, it increased my business by 87%! Overall, it’s a perfect and classy product, and I’ve seen the value in the way people respond to me once they’ve received my thoughtful note.”

P. Scanlon, Fitness, Image and Lifestyle Consultant
President of Roswell Healthy Lifestyle Advisory Board

.What you can do… Be exceptional by adding the personal touch to your business.
“Sending note cards was a big part of my marketing plan this year. It’s all about the follow-up. Using the Note-working Success System is absolutely a positive thing. I really like how the cards are shipped directly to me every month. But better yet, I can count on the cards being of quality with a nice look and having a good message. This way, I have no problems sending the cards and keeping my campaign going.”

Trey Gil, Owner, State Farm Insurance

What you can do… Remember to follow up. Our Note-Working Success System helps you do just that.
In the book Never Eat Alone, author Keith Ferrazzi says "Do you want to stand out from the crowd? Then you'll be miles ahead by following up better and smarter than the hordes scrambling for the person's attention. The fact is most people don't follow up very well, if at all. Good follow-up alone elevates you above 95 percent of your peers."
“A handwritten thank-you note can capture a person's attention. When you get something addressed to you personally, you open it. The thank-you note is an opportunity to reinforce a perception of continuity in a relationship and create an aura of goodwill."

See the excerpt from Keith Ferrazzi’s Never Eat Alone on our NOTE-able Power Tips page.

Health Tip: Wash Your Hands to Stay Healthy
This is the time of year to remember to wash your hands. Take a glance at the stats on the website below where it states, “Please excuse the bluntness, but nose picking and eye rubbing perpetuate every respiratory illness that can lead to epidemic or pandemic proportion! In the U.S. alone, this would have a dramatic impact in the annual reduction of 36,000 deaths due to the flu…” Read more.

Quote of the Month:
Narrator: He didn’t stop Christmas from coming. It came. It came just the same.
The Grinch: It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
Narrator: Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from the store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
