Ted Spoke on his background and what brought him to the marketing space with Send Out Cards. Also spoke briefly on new contract with Active Money and Debt Free & Prosperous Living courses taught in Community College network. Business is all about strong relationships, strong relationships are all about affection, gratitude, familiarity, recognition and giving. Creating those relationships in business can be called Spiritual Marketing, building better relationships with clients, quickly, low cost and effectively. Appreciation and gratitude will win, over self promotion every single time. It’s not about you it’s about them, the client. Sending a totally unexpected card every day that does nothing to promote your business does that. It touches your client in a way your competitors cannot grasp.

Thanks everyone who came along today, and for those sick with this horrible cold, I hope you all get better soon xx
