An Email I Just Received From A CEO

Posted November 11, 2016

talkin-bout

About a week ago, I connected with a CEO, on LinkedIn.

Time Out: I’m dealing directly with the CEO here, not the “gatekeeper”. There aren’t any on LinkedIn.

It’s also important to note that the CEO approached me because I was recommended to him from another LinkedIn connection.

I sent him a Thank You card with a handwritten note.

I’m guessing he doesn’t receive many of these and;

That’s the point!

Here’s his response;

I just received your card in the mail. It’s impressive to receive a hand-written note, and a wonderful reminder that some of the ‘old school’ techniques of business communication remain strong today.

Notice how I actually received a response?

From A CEO?

Now you might not think anything major was accomplished here because I obviously haven’t sold this person anything but;

I’ve gotten his attention and have someone who wants to stay in touch.

And that’s the first step we should all be striving for.

Not to brag (alright maybe a little) but I get a lot of C-Level decision makers responding to me and;

The one’s that don’t generally don’t say “Paul who?” when I call them.
