Bad things do happen to good people

Get advice early Don't wait!

Mr. Barratt,

Thanks for being there for me when I needed help. I reminber it all too well. Unfortunately, I was involved in an automobile accident with three other automobiles a few years back. I was not at fault but the responsible party did not have automobile insurance my agent seemed uninterested. Frustrated as I was, Mr. Barratt assured me there was a solution to this salient situation. First of all he told me to be patient. Secondly, he made sure I received a copy of the police report. His experience, tenacity and knowledge became quite evident as time passed. He incessantly stayed in touch with me assuring me my case would be settled even though the gentleman who ran into my automobile had no insurance. Not only was the case solved within the frame-time given to me by Mr. Barratt at our first meeting but the amount of money I received was more than satisfactory. Although not injured seriously, Mr. Barratt was also able to introduce me to experienced  medical people who in turn provided excellent medical care. My injuries healed adequately, my car was repaired with no cost to me and all turned out well. Without question, I would highly recommend Mr. Barratt to any friend, family member or associate who was in need of a personal injury attorney. If further comment is necessary please feel free to contact me at the below email address or cell phone number.

Making a Great First Impression

Only one per person!

Best way to make a great impression-whether you are trying to win over a new business contactor future in-laws...

 

Let the joke be on you. The problem with most jokes is that they are made at someone else's expense, whether it's a Polish joke, a blonde joke or almost any other kind.  The one kind of joke that never hurts anyone's feelings is the one aimed at you. Pick something small and silly that happened to you recently. This will endear you to others.

 

Be unforgettable. I have a doctor who loves antique fishing equipment. I gave him a lure from another client who had been unable to sell it because it was too old. It was an unforgettable gift to the doctor and has cemented the relationship for many years.

 

Don't send a holiday card. Nearly every company send its clients and associates cards around the Christmas holiday. With many holiday cards coming in, yours is just one in a crowd. Instead, send cards or call on truly special occasions -birthdays, graduation or it will be of interest to them.

 

Remember people's names. The best way to remember a person's name is through vivid images. You can associate a new person with a famous person or event. Example: If you meet  Tom, think of Tom Cruise and imagine the new tom on a cruise ship.

 

Show respect. The best way to show respect is to actively listen. One way to do this is to listen in images. If the person you're listening to is talking about a skiing trip she took, imagine her racing down the mountain. Next, when it's your turn to speak, pause for a second before responding. It shows that you were really listening instead of just waiting for your turn to speak.
