Funny you should post this Mary. I had started going down my list of past clients a few weeks ago and just finished my calls today. I called this afternoon and got a hold of very few. Left messages on the rest and then sent an email to them. We’ll see how it goes. When I’ve done this in the past, I usually end up with at least one project.

Hi Mary – welcome back! Nice to see your blog posts and articles again! Great tips (some of which you covered in our MasterMind sessions) and I really liked #3 – Use the Magic Words! I’ve been doing that a lot lately, and what a difference it makes. Definitely separates the ones who are serious about hiring me vs those just looking for some quick advice. Looking forward to talking soon. Hope all is well!

So true Carolyn and I love how you said it – “it can really whet their appetite!”

So glad you can use it Linda! I am proud to say that that little tip made it into the Woman’s Advantage Shared Wisdom calendar for 2010 – and it is the third year of three that my “shared wisdom” has made it in.

Keep me posted on how using “let’s make an appointment” works for you – it has done wonders for me!

You are absolutely right about “Call me, we’ll set up an appointment.” It stops the “shoplifters” dead in their tracks. On the other had, dropping a couple of creative thoughts can often whet their appetites and insure that the request for an appointment is made.
