GRATITUDE.......

........is the 'sine qua non' of effective marketing.

It builds and secures lifetime client loyalty.

It is the manifestation of the laser like satisfaction of a recipient's core need for 'value added'...........never forgotten.

My first mentor in business who was a renowned success in the structural steel and real estate industries..........having purchased half of the prime real estate in Ottawa said,

"Dan, when I charge a client a dollar I make sure he receives $1.10 in value."

He told me this 40 years ago. To this day I am grateful to him for sharing his own lifetime of experience and success with me freely and generously.

Above all that I valued was his trust.
