I was very lucky last week to meet the awesome Kate Morris from Allsorts Bookkeeping. She is this bubbly, kind, savvy and detail focused entrepreneur that I have got to know very well in such a short space of time.
It’s only been I think a week or two; and it feels like months already and when you meet her you can understand why. I was blessed for her to attend one of our marketing workshops yesterday and she even brought gifts for people.
It was this nice folded box with her licorice brand all over it and when you opened it – it included a really nice XERO Pen & Stack of “Post-it Notes” fully branded. It’s such a simple gift, yet it’s so powerful and makes a wonderful impression.
During the event she attracted lots of attention and I even understood she got a few leads. It’s impressive and I totally love it and find her an inspirational type of person. It was a great sample of what we can do in that selling is not just running around to people saying “Buy my stuff”.
It’s about connecting with people, proving you can be trusted, giving value and then letting them to decide to hire you when they are ready. Giving quality gifts is a great way of doing that (I have my branded coffee cup for example) and Kate totally nailed it on this one.
My advice and thinking? Don’t think about sales and getting people to buy your stuff. Think about it in terms of making friends, building awesome relationships and helping people as the subject matter of what you do. That paves the way for many awesome things to come!
Thank you Kate, love your work, appreciate the great vibes and you rock.
Appreciate the read and you stay awesome friends.
