sending handwritten notes is such an under used hack step out of the digital world (especially as agents start spamming our inboxes) when every marketing channel is bloated, sending a simple thank you note after an IRL sales meeting can go such a long way towards landing the deal

We're going to see an explosion of in-person events in the next year. As our feeds and inboxes get sloppified by AI, we'll lose our ability to discern what's real and credible. Which means more people will turn to the only real thing left: in-person. I'm seeing it already. For many of my partners, dinners are their MOST effective sales channel. Because, frankly, everyone is sick of automated AI outbound agents hitting you up on DMs, phone, email, etc. If you know how to put a room together, you won't just be a great community person. You'll be a great salesperson too.

not saying we’re making these but which one would you actually wear.
