Welcome back to the Daily Gratitude Minute. This is Scott Colby from Say It With Gratitude. And today I want to give you a tip from my book, the Grateful Entrepreneur, and this tip is going to help you build relationships and grow your business. But this is a tip you can do in your personal life as well.

It's an easy one, but not many people are doing it. Pick up the phone and make gratitude phone calls. Remember when our phones were made for calling people. You know, nowadays it seems like they're used for everything, but calling people. So you're going to stand out by making these calls. And ever growing number of social media platforms make the internet a very crowded place. Sometimes it's difficult to make your voice heard above the crowd. That's why it's good to go old school sometimes with a phone call to your clients and customers.

Now, not every phone call with your clients and customers need to be about business either. Remember your business is about building relationships and treating your customers like people, not dollar signs. That's right. Pick up the phone and call your customers just to check up on them, see how things are going in their life.

Ask if there's anything you could do to help them. This one simple gesture of a personal phone call will go a long way to cultivating relationships in your business. And in your personal life. I remember my first mentor, Ryan Lee, he would call me out of the blue. This was in the days before Facebook and Instagram. And I remember being so excited and surprised when his name showed up on my cell phone. This little gesture is one of the things that has kept me loyal to learning from Ryan for over 20 years. Hope this helps. I'm Scott Colby with the daily gratitude minute and say it with gratitude. I'll see you tomorrow
