Example 1: Joe Girard β Monthly Greeting Cards (verbatim from source)
Joe Girard is listed in the *Guinness World Records* as "the world's greatest salesman." Between 1963 and 1978, he sold 13,001 cars at a Chevrolet dealership β more retail big-ticket items, one at a time, than any other salesperson in recorded history. His stats: 13,001 cars total, 18 on his best day, 174 in his best month, 1,425 in his best year. He sold more cars by himself than 95% of all dealerships in North America.
His core nurture system: a personalized greeting card mailed every month to his entire customer list. In January, it was a Happy New Year card. In February, a Valentine's Day card. The message inside was always the same: "I like you." He would vary the size and color of the envelope β this was critical to bypassing the postal equivalent of spam filters, where people stand over the trash can and discard anything that looks like an ad or junk mail. By the end of his career, he was sending 13,000 cards per month and needed to hire an assistant.
By the time he was a decade into his career, almost two-thirds of his sales were to repeat customers. It got to the point where customers had to set appointments in advance to come in and buy from him β contrast that with other car salespeople who stood around waiting and hoping for walk-in traffic.
The lesson: Consistent, personal, low-pitch contact over years builds a pipeline that sells itself. The content of the card was not about cars. It was about the relationship.
Example 2: Shock and Awe Package β Professional Services Firm
Trigger: A prospective client emails asking about accounting services.
Standard response (same-same): Email back a PDF brochure of services and a link to the website.
Shock and awe response:
Result: The prospect is not evaluating three accounting firms from their inbox. They have a physical box on their desk from one firm that went out of its way to impress them before a single dollar was spent. At a customer lifetime value of $8,000/year, a $60 package is 0.75% of first-year value.
Example 3: Local Physiotherapy Clinic β Full Nurture System
CRM: ActiveCampaign (patient records + email automation)
Email sequence (new inquiry, 30 days):
Shock and awe package: Triggered for inbound referrals from GPs or surgeons (high-value patients). Contents: clinic brochure, testimonials, a printed copy of a patient recovery guide, and a handwritten note from the lead physiotherapist.
Marketing calendar:
Event triggers:
Roles: Owner (Entrepreneur) designs campaigns. Admin coordinator (Manager) runs the calendar. Outsourced copywriter (Specialist) writes email content.
