How a Strange Envelop Saved Bob From an Empty Appointment Book
How a Strange Envelop Saved Bob From an Empty Appointment Book
He plopped down at his desk and began to sort through his mail dreading the bills he knew he'd find, and wouldn't be able to pay. As he quickly sorted through the pile setting the bills off to one side he came to an envelope that he knew wasn't a bill. Bob eagerly opened that envelop first.
When he opened the envelop he discovered a card inside. It was just a simple little card and when he opened the card he found a handwritten note addressed to him. After the greeting the note simply acknowledged a recent purchase he'd made, thanked him for his business, and let him know about some free gifts the author wanted him to have. This little card made Bob feel good inside and it made it feel good about the person who sent it, however, he didn't give it any more thought than that.
About another long and frustrating month later Bob again sat at his desk sorting the mail dreading the bills when he found another strange envelope. Again Bob gave this little envelope his attention and found another simple little card inside. The card was from the same person and this time the author just shared a quick note about something Bob had mentioned as an interest when they'd met. It was at that moment that the proverbial light bulb went off in Bob's head.
Bob realized the author wasn't just making Bob feel good he wasn't just making Bob feel important he wasn't making Bob feel like he was trying to sell him something, and he wasn't asking Bob to refer him. Yet, that's exactly what Bob wanted to do. He felt so good about the author and what the author was doing for him through such a simple thing that Bob wanted to tell others about him.
