ChangeForge: Personal Touch

  • GregWalters · 1 year ago
    The Personal Touch....yes.

    I have been kicking this idea around lately - see what you think -

    NO BOILER PLATES - a template, yes - but no boiler plates - no standard "cut and paste"

    Proposals - not full of "Text" but "CONTENT"...

    It does mean that proposal generation would take longer - or proposals could be shorter and convey more relevant information -

    Along the same lines of effective communication and relationship buiding, I still send a hand written thank you note/card after a business interview.
    The personal touch goes a long way, whether we realize it or not.

    I whole-heartedly agree. I still keep in touch with some of my original recruiters whom I sent handwritten thank you notes.

    I would submit that if you cut the fluff about your company - which is minorly important in a selection process... you would have a 2 - 3 page proposal... People like to write so much about themselves into these things - or they haven't asked the right questions so they throw the entire price book at a customer, it is meaningless. Worse yet, customers think that is what they are suppose to be getting... It's a sick, sick cycle.
