Found a new way to spread the word!

Wow, where have I been this last week? I have definitely been writing, just not blog writing and Yelp is why:

 

I recently discovered the “funness” of Yelp! and I’ve been having a great time writing reviews for local restaurants, shops and services, that I haven’t been blog writing. However, all of this review writing is definitely considered some random acts of kindness.

 

You can check out all of the businesses I’ve been Yelping about by clicking on my profile over on the sidebar. You can set up a business page with them if you’re a business or just write up reviews on places you like to shop, eat and play.

Spend the time.

It’s the one thing we all complain we don’t have enough of.  Time spent with a client can really strengthen your relationship.

  • Make time for lunch or coffee; participate in an activity together – it doesn’t have to be golfing either: skiing, snowshoeing, a movie, a dance class, a cultural event.

Send a useful, uplifting or motivation article that inspires a business you like. Even better, if you see someone’s business featured somewhere – clip the article or print the online mention and send it to them. You could even have it framed for them.

Random Acts of Kindness Week Day 3

Shock a potential customer by doing something unexpected.

 

  • the_peak_logoSandra from 100.5 the Peak fm surprised me with a big box of chocolates just for calling in and requesting some Honey and the Money.
  • Buy everyone in coffee line up or lunch line something – whether you are the proprietor or a customer
  • Or buy someone’s second cup of coffee as you both sit alone in a coffee shop. Most shops don’t refill coffees, especially lattes or cappuccinos.  If you own a coffee shop – walk around and refill your regular client’s coffees – they’ll be glad you did.

We’re posting random acts of client kindness all week and suggesting that everyone try to do at least one random act a day to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week (February 8-14).

 

Do something you normally charge for absolutely free –no strings attached.

  • Shout outs go to Coach Cathy who gave me ½ hour more in a coaching session this week
  • If you own a coffee shop, you could give out free coffee to passerby’s in the morning or deliver coffee to a local business in your area
  • Waive late fees or interest charges for the month
