Patricia Rossi

I sent out a tip last week on how to consistently stay in touch with suspects, prospects, and your network.  Patricia Rossi, America’s Etiquette and Protocol Coach, told me that something big was missing: the handwritten note. She believes that in the age of digital everything, we still need physical notes: Patricia says, “Notes are tactile.  You touch them, visually you see them, and emotionally, you read them.

I then asked her where she finds the time.  She advised to do 3 notes with 3 lines every Monday for 10 minutes. Here are the 3 lines she suggests:

Dear Dan.
Line 1. Just touching in to say hi.
Line 2. Hope your trip to _____was relaxing and fun.
Line 3. On my way to ______, wish me luck.
Talk Soon,
Best,
Barry

As Patricia says, “…and just like that you’ve touched in, made a deposit, and inched closer in building a solid relationship.”

Have you tried personal notes, and if so what have your results been?
