Thank you for taking some time out of your busy day to meet/talk with me.  I enjoyed our conversation.   When I may be of service to you or someone you know, please let me know.

These are the ones I use. You may want to get them approved through your compliance department. I’d suggest using a simple template like these. You can have 10 cards of each template ready at any given time so you can quickly date & address them & replace the ones you use over a weekend. If you do this activity during the day you can easily spend 20 minutes + the transition time with an activity that is not highly productive to making sales (not on the phone or in an appointment).



With young kids I’ve gotten a little lazy & just put copy & paste one of these templates on letterhead, put it in a window envelope with my name handwritten in the return address area & go. People still thank me for the thank you note. The handwritten part is the last(and hardest) 10%.



Thank you Card Templates

Thank you both for the great responses.

Cobb,

I tend to agree with the previous post.  Its a powerful position to be in if the client realizes that you are choosing them just as much as they are choosing you.  My book and the quality of it has really started to pick up once I realized I wasn’t afraid to let someone walk out of the room because they weren’t the right fit.

Take your ego out of the equation, and focus on your clients’ egos.

I’m not saying its a question of worthiness or ego, I just go about it in different ways.  Usually a phone call or email to let them know everything has been invested as we said or just a reassurance or follow up to see if they had any other questions.

I just like the idea of something tangible for my clients (other than my business card).  I feel that way I’m more likely to get referals.  Don’t get me wrong, I understand the importance of what I’m doing for them, I just want to do that one extra thing that sets me apart from previous advisers they’ve had or preconceived notions they may have of advisors.

i don’t send anything which says thank you.  it is smply a blank card stock note with my name and company logo saying …it was a pleasure meeting you, let me know if you ever need anything.
