Also remember that, besides just writting the verses themselves, they will be pleny to other task that the business will need to be working on such as marketing, working with company that could distribute your cards, sales, etc.  These are all areas that you can also create systems for and have other staff manage for you.

Hi think about Hallmark. Do you think that Hallmark has one person writing all of their cards?

What you need to do is think about the theme of what your poems will be about. The direction that you want to take, what kind of poems. Then think of what context you want people to read them. I would think in terms of branding ....The look of the card , color , paper etc...

Then its a questions of finding the right writers that can translate what you want to say. You can still think up the direction the poems will take, make a list short point form, maybe just titles to draw from. Maybe a one line sentence , anything that can inspire a write to complete it of coarse under your direction. You would in effect become the chief editor of your stable of writers, all of which would be following your direction for content and expression. You win two fold , writers have a creative output and you can get alot more cards made up than you could do alone 

When I work on a concept I work with a variety of other designers , prototype makers and artists. Sometimes I have a very tight concept for everyone to follow ,at other times I have a general direction and let the design evolve,and then sometimes I have to retake the reins.

Hope this helped

Anthony

Great article! 

One of the best ways we've found to help attract great quality customer referrals is during the post-service feedback process.

On the final page of your post-service feedback survey (if your customers have given you an overall satisfaction score of 7/10 or better), then it's entirely appropriate to show them a referral page. What better time to ask for referrals than at the point that they're often the most satisfied with your service? 

You may also offer a referral incentive too, rewarding your customers if the referral successfully results in a sale.

Good luck and happy referring!

I think that getting referrals from customers is one of the most successful, but least talked about issues with business development. The approach discussed here is spot on. I have also thought that the same approach could be used with any referrals you receive from networking groups or business associates, that are not necessarily your customer.

Question though - how do you develop an incentive for people in a business network to refer you, but not coming across like a Network Marketer, using a multi-tiered reward program (most people are skeptical about this approach)?

Awesome information. Keep it coming!

Hi Matt--

 Where I have started from(and gotten great results!) is starting with who I am rewarding.  Are their any common characteristics?  Demographics?  Pscographics?  What I have found is that when you think about who you are going to develop these incentives for, you land on the right one.  Who are they?  What do they like to do?  I think this will help allign an incentive plan/system, that delivers the message that you are trying to deliver, a thank you for giving you a referral!!
