I can totally relate to meeting couples (at a restaurant, park, etc.), but then never getting together. I like your suggestion to set up a get-together before you even part ways. I guess an example of this in blogging might be Action Comments -- it asks for people to subscribe to your main email list when you submit a comment. Ryan Tim – Great story.

I had one gentleman, say what where just talking to be for a sale? I have learned to take it much easier now and let the game come to me.

Thu, 07 May 2009 06:44:32 +0000 http://www.timgary.com/?p=58#comment-876 I have a funny story about this. When I was a kid I went to an ENT doctor's, becuase my nose was stuffed all the time. But even after I got better, I kept going there becuase everytime I went there and finished the treatment, the receptionist said "so, next Wednesday is fine with you?" and kept going there. Finally I asked the doctor himself when I can stop coming, and he said "Oh, you are fine already." What da!! :) I have a funny story about this.

I think much of life is like this, in terms of passing by on new opportunities. I have to admit, if someone dining next to me started a conversation, and then wanted to schedule another dinner.. I would be somewhat uncomfortable. But that's just me. Another example is when I go to my hair cut, they make sure to schedule the next appointment before I leave. Realy interesting post.

I hate it when I see people and swear that we'll be better at keeping touch or get together and then the follow up never occurs! I agree that a "then and now" approach is needed for some types of people, myself included. Thanks for the post! Very true!

But that does not mean the things that Tim pointed out which can be done with the iPhone are unnecessary. We have different needs thus what's necessary for me might not be necessary for you. If I'm an automotive technician, I would say that a complete set of power tools would be more necessary than an iPhone. I understand Janey.

I guess taking it one step further; frequent arrangements like this lead to habits forming, which obviously makes sales and meetings easier.

I've done online shopping too and I have to say that if I still have the money, a trusted seller would get the next sale immediately. This is a great tactic.

I am a medical student and what I am planning to do when I graduate and have my own clinic is to make sure that I follow-up on my patients and giving their next appointment dates. Also by calling them up the day before their appointment to make sure they are going. That will help them feel important and the same time it somehow shows that I am selling my services to them.
