Don’t let lack of time or funds be an excuse for not staying top of mind. Chances are, if you aren’t following up and touching base on a regular basis – your competitor is.

  • Send a note card – A handwritten card still goes a long way in showing you took the time to personalize a message for the individual.
  • Invite them to a networking or company event – Hosting an event at the office or attending an event in the community? Let your prospects know what you’re doing and offer up an invite to attend.
  • Always send holiday cards/emails – People love to celebrate the holidays (Christmas, 4th of July, Halloween). Show you’re in the spirit and send holiday emails throughout the year.

See an interesting Facebook post? Comment and like it. It takes no time, and can attract positive attention and help build better relationships.
  • Deliver gifts – Whether its cookies, lunch, chocolates or even a personalized gift basket, they’ll remember and appreciate the thought.
