How to Build Relationships by Sending Greeting Cards

Sending Greeting Cards is Prissy, right? That’s a good question! Remember when you were a kid and your Great Aunt Gertrude sent you a card on every birthday and Christmas? Right up until the day of her death she sent you those cards.  And they were really mushy with teddy bears, hearts and puppy dogs on them. Remember them? Well, that’s not what I’m talking about.
