You might not realize this, but today is National Kiss and Make Up Day. Yeah, I don’t know who comes up with this stuff. And at first glance, it sounds pretty goofy. Or corny. But think about it a little bit, and maybe it’s not such a bad idea.
How did Kiss and Make Up Day become a thing?
Well, according to some sources, the origin is anonymous. But others credit Ms Jacqueline V. Milgate, from Hilton, New York, with the idea. Either way, it’s based on the old English idiom that means forgive and forget. So, the “holiday” was established to help people forget those arguments, forgive the other person, and become friends again
Sounds reasonable to me. How about you?
And, of course, I tend to think about the connection to business. At least I do here in my role as an online business coach. So, do you have any business relationships on the rocks? Any unresolved issues with clients, customers, or business partners?
If so, why not take the lead from National Kiss and Make Up Day and figure out a way you can all forgive and forget. Here’s a suggestion.
Just open up your CRM System and set up a reminder to send out ice-breaking emails to those people you’d like to build relationships with again. Then, set up some action steps based on their responses. And then be prepared with follow up.
You’ll be amazed at how well your system will help keep you on track.
What’s that? You don’t have that kind of system? Are you sure. Because I talk, every day, about how important a system is for your business. And about how much time you can save when you take the time to set it up and get it working for you.
Huh? You haven’t done that yet? Well, I tell you what. How about you book a free call with me and let’s talk about what’s holding you back from doing that? No cost. No obligation. And who knows? You might find yourself set up and ready to celebrate this corny little “holiday” in a fun, systemized way by this time next year. Click or tap the button, below, to book a call.
Stay Ready,
