You’re staring at your phone, trying to will it to ring, but it is stubbornly silent. Maybe if you visualise the couple you had an appointment with yesterday, they’ll give you a call. That’s not working either. What can you do while you are waiting for that phone to start ringing off the hook? Why not take the time to send a quick note card thanking them for taking the time to meet with you? To help turn leads into customers with a note card, you should:

1. Order professional looking note cards. There are many card design options for different types of businesses already available, but if you can’t find just the right design, you can create your own note card art. Uploading the art and ordering custom cards is simple and fast with VistaPrint’s user friendly interface.
2. Offer a sincere thank you for the time the customer took to meet with you and make sure you mention that you’ll be happy to talk with him or her further.
3. Include a discount coupon that is good on the first order or visit. Be careful not to make the discount larger than you can handle financially. A 10% discount can be enticing to someone who is on the fence about using a service. A 50% can make someone who wasn’t planning to use it decide to give it a try.
