Ten Business Cards

16/2/09

I was helping my Area Director present the 1-1 Relationship Skills Workshop this week. In one of the open discussion parts of the workshop ideas were being exchanged on how to best maximise the opportunities for the other person.

Something my Area Director suggested, as it is what she does, is ask the member she is having the 1-1 with for ten business cards. Once back in her office, she attaches each card around her computer screen with some Bluetack. In this way, when emailing and on the telephone, she has a ready reminder of the person that she is looking to help.

Then, when an opening arises to recommend the member, she has all their necessary information to hand. And the best part? Until she has been able to give out all ten cards she does not have another 1-1. She is completely focused on that one member.

What a great idea!
