No Cost, High Impact Gift Ideas (Part 2)

TESTIMONIALS
How many business associates on your list have you been very impressed with. If you're like me (and most people!), you've thought about giving them a testimonial but haven't gotten around to it. Well, now is the perfect time. Take a look at the business associates on your list and see who you can write a testimonial for.  Felicity Joy is someone I came across on my list.  Here's what I did for here recently:

EVEN COACHES NEED COACHES!  I'm blessed to have secured the support of many coaches in my life and Felicity Joy is one of them.  Nearly two years ago Felicity and I began working together.  During our weekly calls, she provides an objective, outside perspective to that voice in my head I hear all the time (you know, the voice that is critical of all I do even thought the outside world is not.!)   I get off the phone and have a fresh perspective on the many things I'm juggling. 

The past two years, I've attended her Intention Party and had a blast. It's a great way to end the year and begin preparing for the new.  I'm looking forward to this year's party and would love to have you join me. You can learn more and register here. ​

​​​Once you have your testimonials written, maximize the time you've spent by doing the following: 

• Go to LinkedIn and post your testimonial in the recommendation section.
• Email it to them and let them know they can use it in the marketing pieces.
  •  In the email, let them know that you also done a recommendation on LinkedIn.  Sometimes people don't notice this and neglect to approve making the recommendation live.
• Post it on your Facebook Business Page.
  • For the greatest impact, be sure to space them out using the Scheduler function or another tool like Hootsuite.  
• For a little variety, you can do a video of your testimonial similar to the one Dr. Heidi Thorne of Thorne Communications did for me.

So, there you go.  Another gift that costs no money and gives immensely to your business associates while also helping your business. A definite win-win!    ​
