  21. Make Your Customers Feel Good • “My uncle, John Doe, is your client and he told me how helpful you were • “I had my car repaired in your service department and the staff was so very kind and helpful.” • “I sat in your reception area and your customers had such nice compliments about you and your staff.”

  23. Deposit Into CBA • Dear Valued Customer, • We can't wash your dishes. We can't pick up your dry cleaning. We can't change the little light bulb in your refrigerator. We can't make your tuna salad just the way you like it. • Then I realized there was one thing we could do. First-class postal rates went up a penny to 34 cents on January 7, so enclosed you'll find ten 1-cent stamps-a necessity for using up your old 33-centers. Sure, we're only talking 10 cents in value, but hopefully the time you'll save will be worth much more. •  Sincerely, • Jeff Bezos

  43. Attracting New Clients Craig Baum story

  44. Attracting New Clients Say “thank you” even when the customer says “no”

  45. My opinion on customers who say “no” If a customer says “no”, it only means they don’t have enough information!

  47. Asking For New Business • “ASK and you shall receive!” • It is not a sin to ask for referrals

  48. Dear Colleagues, I would like to give you my experience with John Morise and the microwave thermotherapy for BPH. I have been using the Urologix technology, transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) with the new cooled catheter, for the past 18 months and have had a very favorable experience and outcomes using this minimally invasive treatment for BPH. Initially I was doing 3-5 procedures a month using a mobile unit. I then obtained a machine for my office and have increased my utilization to 8-10 procedures every month. John Morise, the Urolgix sales representative, arranged for me to attend a course in Minneapolis on marketing and utilization of the technology and, as a result, I was able to increase the number of procedures in patients within my own practice. Now, I have satisfied patients telling their friends about the technology and have patients referring new patients to my practice. Mr. Morise was also helpful in training my technician. We were able to do several cases with nurses sent by Urologix to train my technician. We were able improve the efficiency of the procedure and can easily do 3-4 cases in an afternoon without any stress on the technician or the office staff. Mr. Morise has also provided me with ample educational materials so that I can educate all patients with BPH about the technology and offer them videos, DVDs, and print material that explains the procedure, risks, and complications. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the procedure and would make my office available to you and your technician to observe a few procedures. I look forward to hearing from you. Neil Baum
