I wondered how that became possible. I got my answer today in an e-mail from Phillip Hulme, one of our card distributors:

Dee Dee Myers, press secretary under former President Bill Clinton, was interviewed this week. One of the questions was why Clinton was chosen to go on the mission to negotiate for the the release of the 2 American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who entered North Korean territory and had been held captive for 5 months.

It turns out that Bill Clinton had emerged as the top choice of the North Koreans because, when he was president, Clinton had sent Kim Jong-il a letter of condolence on the death of his father, Kim Il-sung, in 1994.
Apparently, Kim Jong-il felt that freeing the women was a “reciprocal humanitarian gesture” that he would agree to, since Bill Clinton had shown him such respect when his father died, even though there were no official diplomatic relations between the US and North Korea.

How amazing that a simple letter of condolence written 15 years ago would have that impact.

I think it this is very powerful message. If we would all just sit and think about this for a few minutes: what more could we do in our daily lives to be human with each other? What effects would that make for us today and in the years ahead? Could a thawing of diplomacy between the U.S. and North Korea have started because of a condolence letter? What simple actions can we take to do something similar to that simple act of humanity with our friends, coworkers, clients, and competitors?

It’s definitely something worthwhile to think about, isn’t it?

In sales, never underestimate the importance of the personal gesture, and right at the top of the list of effective personal gestures sits the handwritten card. Always send memorable cards and personal notes when you are reminded of a person.”

It’s been going on forever. We share our knowledge and resources in hope that we can help others. It’s not something we just do at work. Friends as for places to find good deals on cars, lawyers and even where to get the best pizza in town! A school is a network, a club is a network as is a sports team.

Whether you’re a consumer, a CEO or a marketer, relationship marketing is the “in” thing to do. New sites are popping up all over. Join this network, join that network, get 5000 connection by joining this other network!

I’m beginning to wonder if we are focused to much on the number of people in our networks rather than what we can offer to help those we have networks with? How well do we know those 500 – 1000 in our Network?

Beside this blog, I wish to offer something for you to evaluate. Visit http://www.squidoo.com/send-out-cards-opportunity, think about your business and see if the system discussed could help you improve and develop your networking skills to get what you’re really striving  for in making those connections!

Happy Networking!
