One of the things that seems to have been lost to time is a "thank you" note from people. It used to be proper manners to send a thank you card to people when they hosted you. It used to be the norm to send a thank you note to someone you met with. But today, most of the thank you's seem to either be in the form of an email or text message, if at all. Rarely do these thank you's come in the mail. My guest on this show is on a mission to change that one card or note at a time. With his robot-written cards using actual handwriting, not traditional computer fonts, you have a chance to leave an impression on the people you meet and do business with, all for a very nominal investment. And with that nominal investment, you'll be earning a lot of value - perceived and real - in the eyes of the recipients! Listen in as Jennifer and David Wachs of Handwrytten talk about gratitude and ways a simple gesture can lend itself to tremendous returns down the road.

Steve chats today to David Wachs, CEO and founder of Handwrytten. Handwrytten provides solutions to communicating with your customers in pen to provide a more personal touch than mass printed type written notes and letters. Steve finds out what such a service can offer your organization in improving your relationship with your clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS Handwrytten is the largest provider of hand written communications currently and achieves this by operating robotics to hold real pens to produce an authentic finish to letters, notes and envelopes at larger volume and scale. People receive an average of 145 emails per day in their inbox and spend 24% of their time just managing it. Attention to physical mail is often overlooked. To get the customer or client to open the mail it has to stand out and they rarely receive a hand written communication and are therefore less likely to put the letter straight in the trash. Handwrytten can use all your customer data to produce communications by simply converting it to an excel format and uploading it into their system but they have the ability to use most formats that your organisation utilise. You can automate your system to instruct Handwrytten to action your written letters. Handwritten notes perhaps at the end of a sales experience cement your relationship to the client and are more likely to result in a loyal repeat customer. For international customers Handwrytten can send overseas individual communications or send them to you in bulk for you to use your home countries mailing network. However, Handwrytten is coming to the EU in 2022 so will be offering direct service to Europe and the UK. BEST MOMENTS ‘Having looked at your website and the examples on there and watched your videos on YouTube it is remarkable and I am totally blown away by it.’ ‘It’s not just the envelope that’s handwritten its can be the letter as well. I work with a lot of property investors that actually get people to handwrite their envelopes so at least they get it opened.’ ‘The reason I started doing this was I started seeing handwritten notes on the desk of my employees, behind my desk, on my refrigerator so the retention rate is tremendous.’ ‘Handwritten notes signify an investment in time that can’t be replicated.’ ‘By automating it you get a higher level of compliance and a more consistent customer experience than you would if you left it up to a sales rep.’ ABOUT THE GUEST David's latest venture, Handwrytten, provides scalable, robotic solutions that write your notes in pen. Used by businesses in all industries, Handwrytten changes the way brands and people connect. Prior to Handwrytten, David founded Cellit, a leading mobile marketing platform.

Remember how your mother taught you to "always write a thank you note" when someone give you a present or invites you over for dinner? Emily Post style etiquette may no longer be common, that's no excuse to take a pass on sending notes. We're not talking text message or emails. What we're talking about here is actual cards in the mail. Why cards? Because they're less and less common which makes you and your message stand out more than ever before.

Some ways businesses can add personal touches to their interactions with consumers include;  Hand-written notes  Personal Emails Tailoring their website to the consumers likes or preferences  Video Emails  Webinars  One on one zoom fitting sessions depending on the product  Webcasts    Stop Adding to the Noise   The average consumer and office worker receives at least 150 emails every day and spends 24% of their time managing their email inbox. Therefore, it is easy for them to become bombarded however, after a personal experience with handwritten notes David noticed how impactful it was to his relationship with his employees to send personalized notes. Handwrytten has enabled businesses to retain their customer base and grow their profit margin. Personalized notes help customers to feel seen, valued, and appreciated and eliminates the noise of receiving just another email or just another letter.  . Show Some Appreciation  Handwrytten notes have allowed businesses to extend the simple courtesy of a thank you to their customers. People have unlimited options when it comes to where they purchase goods and services,by sending a note customers see their value and it acts as an investment into the relationship with the customers.

David is a speaker on marketing technology, has been featured in the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, and is a contributor to Inc. Magazine.   Most passionate about My new company, Handwrytten. It's not so new at this point; we've been around for seven years. Our goal is to reignite the lost art of Handwrytten communications. Specifically, we focus on communication from business to business or business to consumer in this day and age of electronic communication—whether that's email or text or Slack, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all these other forms of electronic communication or old-fashioned junk mail, preprinted stuff that gets thrown directly in the trash bin. About seven years ago, we started this company with the idea of making and sending Handwrytten. We have a website, an iPhone app, and Android app plugins for major systems called Zapier and API, stuff like that, that allow people to get their notes to us very quickly in electronic form. On the other side of the technology, we have robots that we build in our facility in Arizona. They hold real pens and write these notes out at scale. The robots can write out about 750 notes a day each. David’s career and story I grew up very middle class in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Always, even from the youngest days, I wanted to be an entrepreneur. When I went off to university, I specifically took a double major in business and engineering. I chose computer science engineering. I was in this program at the University of Pennsylvania called the Management Technology Program. I got a degree in engineering and a degree in business from Wharton. Then I went on and worked in consulting. In 2000, which was at the height of the dot-com bubble, I went to work for a consulting firm that was helping large companies start dot-coms inside of them. It was just standard management consulting, but it was a good experience nonetheless, and they worked me to the bone. I then wanted to get into venture capital. I worked in equity analysis for a large investment bank, Credit Suisse, first in Boston, and then I was moved over to a venture capital firm in San Diego, where I was abruptly fired without cause. When I moved out to San Diego to work at this venture capital firm, I had no savings left. I was relatively debt-free, but I had no savings. So, when I got fired, I moved home. My family had relocated. My parents had moved to Arizona, so I moved home to Arizona with my head between my legs. I didn't know what to do next. I started a text messaging company called Cellit. This was in 2004. Back then, we didn't have the iPhone or anything like that. When you drive by a house that was for sale, you'd want to collect information on that house, get the price, and all that, but oftentimes there was no way to get information about that house. So I started this company called Cellit. Our first product was called House for Sell. I quickly pivoted away from Realtors to more large brands. Within a few years, we were sending millions of text messages for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, which is a large clothing brand, toys, Walmart—some very, very large brands. I ended up selling that company in 2012. I started Handwrytten because what I realized, when I sold that company, was that I wanted to send Handwrytten notes to all my employees and my customers, thanking them for staying with me during this journey of building up and selling.   Best advice for entrepreneurs Always get in over your head. If you don't get in over your head, you can't grow. You have to extend yourself. You...

Should I wait? Should I do something else? Should I? Should I? Should I? And before they know it the time has gone or they have too many life commitments or they are earning such a big salary it's impossible to leave because their cost of living has grown with their salary. So, I think the best time to start a business is now. Don't overanalyse, don't wait, wait, wait. Sure, get your affairs in order and find how you are going to put food on your plate for the next 3 to 6 to 12 months but don't keep putting it off because as you get older it just gets harder”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7B3
