How to Touch Someone

The title might not be what you are expecting. Kamma Sutra is not going to be discussed here, although it might bring more readers. What I’m talking about is touching someone in a way that makes them feel. And feel deeply. If not deeply, then as deeply as possible.
It’s easy to make someone feel deeply in a negative manner….just be rude, call them a bad name….cuss at them, insult them…their family or heritage. Touching someone in that manner takes absolutely no effort. And is not even worth talking about actually.
I’m talking about in a positive way..in a way that makes a person move. Either physically or emotionally. Should it move them physically, then it should be a nudge toward a positive goal or direction. You do that by setting yourself aside and zero in on the other person. And not in a superficial way. But reach out and offer a hand up, a kind word…..and act totally unexpected.
You do that, and if in person, your fellow man/woman will be able to see it in your eyes. Try as you might, you just can not hide your soul…your eyes are the soul’s doorway. But what does that have to do with Internet Marketing. And how can someone see your eyes on the Internet?
Quick answer is thru the use of a webcam. But that’s not what this is about either. This post is about touching someone blindly over the net and how you do that. You accomplish that by appropriate salutations in your first contact. And then over time, make sure you live up to everything that you say you are going to do. Be generous in your actions and your words. Humble in your attitude and gracious in your dealings.
It takes a fair amount of time to earn someone’s respect and trust and just a minute to destroy it. I know I’ve been on both ends. I’ve been let down and have on the other hand, I have made promises that I could not live up to as I expected. I let down a group of investors after I came down with Congestive Heart Failure and remamined sick for two years.
As a result, I lost contact with almost everyone I had established a relationship with in the investment world. I have never been able to recover those relationships as people never sit still. They all moved on and so it’s a matter of moving on myself. While my health condition was at the root of my troubles, I could have done something to retain those relationships……but I didn’t. I was so caught up in my own world, that when I was in a position to reach out to people, I didn’t.
So if you are marketing anything on the Internet, regardless what may come along, find time to reach out to those that you have a relationship with and you will be surprised how much people will step up and be there for you.
