One of the most rewarding parts of my business is when I get a note from someone who says that something I wrote or said made a difference in their life and work.
I just received this lovely note from Sylvia Dörf linger from Vienna who has her own image consulting business in Austria and has developed a program called 'The Styling Pyramide" which helps women look their best in five easy steps. (Sylvia–how do I sign up!)
Sylvia actually found out about my book through one of the top marketing people in the United States–Robert Middleton who I have tremendous respect for.
I wanted to share Syvlia's note and also encourage any of my readers to connect with her.
Dear Andrea,
By chance I got to know your website some weeks ago via Robert Middleton and I am sooooo thankful!
I ordered your book "Million Dollar Networking" and read it in one go since I found it that interesting! I am now full of power for networking and claimed the year 2010 to become my "networking year" 🙂
It is especially your 2-2-2 strategy which has indeed impressed me. And I was so surprised: it immediately worked on the first networking event I was attending!
Some days ago, there was a presentation held by one of the most known stylists and trend-scouts in Austria which was arranged by our Chamber of Commerce. I did not know her personally so far and so I sent an email to the head of the organization and asked him to introduce me to her – and it perfectly worked!!! I am so happy and I would like to tell you how much I like your book since there are such good and easy to follow tips in it. It is really "million times" worth reading it!
Kind regards from Austria,
Sylvia

Dear Andrea,
I really appreciate your site. Thank you for your insights and guidance.
Very refreshing when in the midst of the financial crisis, there’s a lot of bashing and cynicism
towards performance recognition and inspirational efforts in the workplace.
Just check any bar in lower Manhattan! It’s a shame.
As a VP leading over 100 salespeople, I’ve found that the hard fact
is that QUALITY performance recognition works. Not just for morale,
but in dollars. I have been using a couple of different tools to help me retain
good people and to inspire excellence in them, which = larger sales figures.
A#1 tool is a personal, elegant recognition concept called Design Your
Inspiration ( http://www.dyi.successories.com ) . Intelligent, customizable with
any words or great quotes you want to use (such as those on this very site).
All on framed art photography prints.
Again, the quality of these, and the MEANING emparted, makes them
highly effective for me. It has made an amazing difference! So while the
cynics shed tears in their beers, we’re laughing all the way to the bank!
Thanks again. Jim
