Good day folks how are you all doing? I hope all is well. Today’s post is a personal experience that I had and I will like to share it with you. In the last post I talked about changing the world and in today’s post I want to share how a simple compliment can go a long way for people.
A few months ago I got an email from Joe Kasper of Fireyourdiet.com who is an extremely helpful person in the area of fitness and health. Now I am a person who subscribes to a lot of online newsletters from many business people and Joe was just one of the hundreds I subscribe too!!! By the way I never knew Joe nor does he know me!
Anyway the email I got from Joe was that he wanted to know the birthdays of his subscribers so that when there birthday comes he will give them one of his paid products for free and you can pick which product you want. I was astonished at this and I found that this was a great thing he was doing.
Now I wanted to get one of his free products when it was time for my birthday so here is the email I sent him
i am brian ramdhan. My birthday is 3rd March 1983. My contact no. is xxxxxxx.(Intentionally left out)
Let me just say that this is a wonderful thing you are doing and I havent seen any other marketer do this before!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!
That was all I sent in the email and I want you to know that I was genuine in my compliment to him. I didn’t want or expect anything from him. Guess what happened?
A few minutes after I got a call from Joe Kasper himself and I was overwhelmed! He was extremely excited to talk to me and he said he was very appreciative of what I had said and he told me that even though it wasn’t my birthday he wanted to send me not one, but two of his products for free just because of those kind words from me!!! I was shocked.
I really didn’t expect anything from him. I was just trying to be sincere. I did not think that such a small compliment could mean so much to an extremely successful person as Joe Kasper!!! I got the products within a few weeks time. I just needed to cover the shipping!
I say all of this in order to say that the small things are in fact the big things!!! A simple compliment, a simple smile for someone can go such a long way you will not realize it until you do it. The world is crying out for people to just send a small touch of goodness their way!!
I am asking you to sincerely be a person who will change the world one compliment at a time!!!
And to Joe Kasper – Thanks for the free books!!!
