Just Be Nice ........... It Ain't That Hard (Even I Can Do It)

Just Be Nice ........... It Ain't That Hard (Even I Can Do It)

Yesterday I dropped off what I called a "Tailored De-stress Pack" to some clients (a husband and wife team). I'd called in the day before to say hello and they was frantically busy.

Frazzled. Overwhelmed with busyness. Frantic. Hair-tearing out stage.

So I dropped back yesterday with 3 wrapped gifts. The De-stress Pack contained:

For both:

Bottle of Jansz bubbly.

For her:

A tub of Tim Tam chocolate icecream (a combination of the best chocolate biscuits in the world and icecream - it doesn't get any better than that!)

For him:

A new golf ball (he plays a lot of golf but hasn't played for 6 weeks).



Do Unto Others...

Back in my old days when I was nursing the motto of the old and very traditional hospital I trained at was "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Which was a cool way of saying "Be nice to people."

Not because there is anything in it for you, but because it's a hard, tough life out there and we all need a little boost sometimes.

Was It About Business?

Do I expect more business from these clients because I dropped in the gift? Of course not. If a gift is given with that sort of expectation then it would take about 0.03 seconds for the client to see through it.

These clients have helped us grow our business over the years by using our services, recommending our services and acting as referees.

The least I can do is say "Hang in there" with a small token gift.

Cheers
