What can I say? It IS a match – Leah is one of ‘us’ and while she is currently working on the website, and I am about to become a novice blogger, I feel very excited about our discussions to date. I can only thank you for taking the time and interest to help me out, and for your perception in thinking that this would work for both of us. I think it is Law of Attraction at its best – I have enough knowledge to be dangerous, but not enough to be effective, and Leah has been fantastic in interpreting my non-techno ideas into reality. A shame if anyone linkis to the current website (which is not very nice). Wait for a week or two and THEN check it out!! Thanks again to both of you Des and Suzie. You deserve the chocolates. Love, Nancy

Hey Des,

I’m a sucker for a cute concept and I’m telling you, Adora chocolate has me sold! It’s a fantastic way to establish and maintain connections with your network of colleagues and potential business partners. You sound like you know what you’re doing, so I wanted to run this by you.

I’m an official Microsoft ambassador and right now we’re really trying to scale up our connections with influential bloggers like yourself. I’d love to share with you some of the stuff we’ve been doing in the last couple months to help women entrepreneurs; we’re really committed to providing all the necessary resources to help women start, grow and expand their business.

We just wrapped up a women’s entrepreneurial tour across the US; the response and turn-out was great!

I’d really love your take on these offerings we have right now; I would have contacted you via email but I didn’t know which was the best way to reach you.

Thank you so much, I hope I didn’t overstep my bounds by directly contacting you. Definitely get back to me if I’ve piqued your interest– I’d love to share more info with you.

Best,
Kimberly

My appreciation ranges from writing a check to a referring friend for 15 percent of a speaking engagement’s honorarium (an agent would receive this, so why not give it to a friend?) to sending a hand-written thank you note to a friend who introduces me to a beneficial contact.

Two thumbs up for chocolate, which is always appropriate to show appreciation.

You make me blush Des To me a stylish thank you is just a small part of the appreciation that I feel to you, Suzie and any of my contacts that see fit to recommend my services.

I see this as a win all way around – I get a warm lead, you get some great chocs and my favourite chocolate supplier gets another fan.
