Need a electronic billing service E-mail message this week: Johnny Appleseed A month prior to Spring .. attached to my mailbox .. was a simple statement from a company called Grass Clips. I live in a large Atlanta subdivision of nicely manicured lawns and this engaging young company decided to capitalize on it. They were aggressive enough to review the front lawn of every home and place a cost estimate on our mailboxes to mow and edge each lawn. The price was reasonable and they mentioned they would keep the information on their computer data base if we ever needed their service. Now .. what lesson can we learn from this? Simple .. they took the initiative to plant seeds hoping to reap their harvest later. I know they got me and the two neighbors across the street. In fact, they did such a great job that I also want them to work on my scrubs (added services for a job well done). In fact .. I already referred two other homes to them. I call this the Johnny Appleseed syndrome. He must have been very proactive .. very aggressive .. very positive that the apple seeds he was planting today would reap orchards tomorrow. This small company called Grass Clips must also plagued by this syndrome. They planted their seeds months ago and followed up with phone calls determining if everyone on their database received their estimates and wanted their great service. They believed in their product .. was able to deliver a service .. charged an acceptable fee .. had marketing skills and staff to back them up and once service was rendered expected a multiplicity of referrals. Doctors .. students .. staff .. the lesson here is clear. We have a wonderful Health Generating and Wellness oriented service. We need to share this with our community. Catch the Johnny Appleseed syndrome .. let it invade your every fiber .. Now .. plant those seeds of Health and Wellness and begin to weed out Sickness and Disease Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings this week: Come to Shermanžs Lyceum: Come to Shermanžs Lyceum and bring a potential Chiropractor with you May 27-30.
