Here
is the note card featured in the Note-Working Success System for September. |
Become
Memorable!
Did you
know that note cards with beautiful graphics and inspirational messages are often
kept? One contact told me she loved the card I sent so much that
she framed it and put it on her desk - so now she thinks of me every time she
sees it!
Profits in Progress helps busy professionals become memorable. Our Note-Working
Success System makes it easy for you to handwrite and mail
notes to 60 individuals throughout the month, with a system to track and measure
results. |

NOTE-able
Power Tip!
Looking for a way to stand out to a potential employer? If so, here are some
MUST DOs when following up on a job interview:
1. Stand out from the crowd with a handwritten note instead of a letter. An
odd size
envelope that is hand addressed with a recipient's name and address has better
than a 99% open rate. A handwritten note will make it through a
gatekeeper to the intended recipient's desk.
2. Sooner
is better. Write and mail your thank you notes by the day after your
meeting. Timeliness and attention to detail make a great impression.
3. Make
the salutation match the tone from your interview meeting. If you were
told to address your interviewer by their first name, than a first name is appropriate
for your note card. If you are unsure, use Mr., Ms. or Dr. and their last name
as the salutation. Make your best impression by addressing your recipient in
a formal manner.
4. Send
a thank you to anyone who helps you make a connection. Show your appreciation
for referrals and contacts from people in your network or within an organization.
Let them know the status of the connections they have made for you. One of our
most basic needs is to feel appreciated. Make sure that people that are helping
you know that you appreciate them!
Remember…relationships
count before, during and after changing jobs!

Health
Tip: Interact and Keep Your Brain Young
Lawrence Katz, PhD, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University and co-author
of Keep Your Brain Alive, advocates more than just physical activity.
Social interaction enhances neurobic exercise in the brain. "Research
shows that being out in the world is like a gym for the brain," Katz
says. "And social interaction is a big part of a brain-healthy lifestyle."

Quote
of the Month |
|
|
“When
it comes to finding out about new jobs - or, for that matter, new
information, or new ideas - 'weak ties' are always more important than strong
ties. Your friends, after all, occupy the same world that you do. They might
work with you, or live near you, and go to the same same churches, schools, or
parties. How much, then, would they know what you wouldn't know? Your acquaintances,
on the other hand, by definition occupy a very different world than you. They
are much more likely to know something that you don't.”
