Over the holidays, my family and I (unintentionally) got back to the basics. You see, we booked a cabin in the North Carolina mountains that had it all – a huge stone fireplace, adirondack chairs by the river, an outdoor fire pit perfect for s’mores, fishing poles, board games and more. It had everything….everything but wi-fi or cell service. So any hopes I had of keeping up with my email or staying connected went out the window.
The cabin did, however, have a good ol’ fashioned landline phone. To my surprise, something unexpected happened: my kids were obsessed with it. They immediately called anyone and everyone who would pick up the phone. They didn’t really have much to say, they just wanted to use this simple but ancient relic of communication.
This gave me a thought. Oftentimes there are so many other options, that it can be easy to get away from the basics of picking up the phone. In the case of potential clients, they may not know the right way to reach out, when to reach or even the right words to use. The act of picking up the phone is so simple yet so effective. You may not have the words to use because you’re so overwhelmed or don’t know where to start, but we can help with that. So, If you find yourself in that predicament, just pick up the phone.
With that in mind I thought I’d get back to the basics and remind you (or your friends, family, colleagues, and clients) how you might benefit from our services here at AfterLight.
