You can’t win em all, but it’s nice to know you’ve made a good impression
This email popped into my inbox a couple of days ago, and as I'm feeling in a bit of a show-off mood I thought that I should share it with you.
Dear Fiona,
If you remember me, I'll be amazed, but in March 2008 I came to your offices to take up an offer you made to a women's networking group to give a free 'branding consultation' to upcoming businesses. I wanted advice on how to present an idea I had to sell cards online. I showed you the cards and you advised me to go upmarket with them. You got the hang of what I meant very quickly. Although your company couldn't do anything, as such, for me, in your estimation of the product I wanted to create, you gave me some invaluable advice and a great boost.
The site I envisaged is launched now at www.takingtimecards.co.uk <http://www.takingtimecards.co.uk> . I thought you might like to see it.
And also see that on it, under the Thanks tab, I've listed your name. I am grateful for the time you took and for your enthusiasm that day, and I haven't forgotten it. In your friendly, intelligent approach and cheerful, upbeat advice, you did both your company and yourself proud.
Feel free to quote me!
All good wishes,
Fleur Robertson
Taking Time Cards
Isn't it lovely to know that even when we can't help people directly, that we've given something back? I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy!
