I'm located in Raleigh, NC. Been here for almost a year, after living in various places (SF Bay Area, DC/N.Virginia, Pittsburgh, Metro-Atlanta, original from OH). As of yesterday, I have two sites that I'm blogging on with another one to be added in the next week or so: http://www.firstgenerationalprofessional.com and http://www.transformativeeating.com . Passionate about professional development, intuitive eating, and tech. :)

Thank you notes! Stop using your companies pre printed thank you notes. You know the ones i'm talking about, everything is done for you and all you have to do is sign your name. Hand write a thank you note! Hand writing is much more personal and it shows you care.

Our designer, Mixed Media made us beautiful thank you cards, and we send them constantly. Plus, we are a non-profit organization so we always have a lot of people to thank, and have had donors calling us CRYING over the sweet card they received.

Mine is definitely the trend of people not answering their phones. I leave voicemails to try and combat this inevitable theme but voicemails can only be so effective and even the best voicemails have a tiny response-rate.

Other frustrations?

It's painful when calls and e-mails aren't returned, but that's part of the game we're all part of. Stay true and work the numbers.

First let me say, you've got one of the coolest first names! This month I started my own business. It should work out ok, I'll be doing the same thing I've been doing in town for the last 11 years, just now I'm on my own and folks know me already. But still, selling a service (IT Support) and selling myself is very frustrating to me. I don't know if it's a self-esteem problem or what. I've dropped in on some other small businesses in town that are DBA's like myself, except they have a storefront, and I don't know, I just have a hard time selling myself. The conversations go well, they seem excited for me, but when I leave I often feel like such a goof. Man, sales are tough. Gives me a whole new respect for those phone calls that I get from salesfolks like yourself.

I'm very excited to announce that I have started a new project, as yet untitled. I was inspired by the guy who traded a red paperclip for a house. I am trading a card trick for a car. And even if I don't succeed, I'll come out with a very interesting story! Check out my latest post to find out how the first trade went: http://kelainehooper.weebly.com/blog!
