About Tom Gee

Being an avid reader, having read over 500 books in the last 20 years, I see a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. Since I read kind of slow, I catch things that others might not notice. When you publish something, it is hard to take it back. I can help make sure your work looks perfect. I have also spent a great deal of time in the CEO Space business development environment where I have learned a lot about building and growing a business. This has allowed me to gain knowledge that, when combined with my entrepreneurial experiences, has significantly enlarged my understanding of business potentials. As a user and fan of SendOutCards, I believe that businesses and salespeople are overlooking a tremendous resource for building customer loyalty, repeat sales and referrals. A note of appreciation will go further than you might think. Expressing your gratitude is a better way of building loyalty than just offering low prices or great service. Appreciation wins over self-promotion every time. I started my working life as a newspaper carrier when I was 11. That lasted until I was 15. Since my graduation from high school, I have worked for more than the average number of companies. This helped me to experience a lot of different leadership and management styles. Since 1990, I have been self employed most of that time. I enjoy running my own business, almost exclusively by myself. I recently learned how much better off I would have been had I sought out and used coaches and mentors. I am now connecting with people who have expertise in areas I do not. My overall financial goal is to create financial freedom. This can be done many different ways, but the overall result is to have a steady stream of income from sources that do not require an exchange of time. Working for a living usually means exchanging time for money. My goal is to replace my working income with a residual income. Specialties: I am good at proofreading and editing, public speaking, presenting in front of small and large groups, problem solving, and understanding the needs of the entrepreneur. I am a Crowdfunding enthusiast, and I can help you get your project set up properly before you put it on Kickstarter.com.

Experience

1. Independent Distributor

   Sendoutcards

   Aug 2009 — Present · Phoenix, AZ, US

   I help companies and individuals build customer loyalty through sending cards and gifts, which demonstrates appreciation to their customers. Cards sent purely for appreciation that do not include solicitations are most likely to be kept and remembered. Cards can be customized with a personal message, pictures can be added and additional features help make the cards unique.Accounts are available for as little as $9.80 per month. This provides for anywhere from 5-10 cards per month, not including postage. Also helps build closer relations with friends and family.
