Reciprocate: Stage 5 of the ENCORE Approach

The art, science and importance of expressing appreciation, saying thank you. Whether you're thanking your clients for their business, your team for their support or your strategic partners for their professionalism, saying "thank you" is extraordinarily powerful for developing "encores" for your practice.

Questions to Consider:  Do you go out of your way to say "thank you" and give back to your key constituencies -- clients, team, supporters and community?

The categories below contain tools to help you Reciprocate: THANKS TO CLIENTS and THANKS TO TEAM.


THANKS TO CLIENTS
2009 Christmas and Holiday Letters for Clients and Prospects2009 Christmas and Holiday Letters for Clients and Prospects
Rob Brown
Our letters are one of the most popular features of our website. They are easy to download, customize and merge with your client (or prospect) mailing list. Because they are written by authors who have years of compliance experience, they usually fly through any compliance approval procedures. Based on a recent request from one of our members, I wrote two year-end letters to offer your clients (and prospects) holiday greetings. I hope you'll put these greetings to work as standalone letters or as the personalized messages you add to your cards, notes and emails. . . . keep reading

Ultimate Client Experience: Daylight Saving Time Client Letter
Rob Brown
Ultimate Client Experience:
Daylight Saving Time Client Letter A couple years ago, one of my members suggested that sending a friendly reminder about Daylight Saving Time would be a nice "client touch". I agreed. So I wrote a short letter quoting Benjamin Franklin who is given credit for coming up with the idea. I recently updated the letter for 2010. If you're looking for a simple way to remind your clients that they're always in your thoughts, mail or email this letter to your clients this week. . . . keep reading

An Idea for Networking with CPAs during Tax Season Last week, I received a call from a member who was looking for a way to strengthen his relationships with CPAs during the tax season. In addition to making outgoing referrals, this financial advisor wanted to encourage the CPAs with whom he networked to remember him if they ran into tax clients who needed some investment or financial planning help. This coaching session contains a "sweet" idea. . . . keep reading
