“Creativity isn’t a talent; it’s a way of operating.” -John Cleese
We’ve heard some inspiring Creative Follow-Up (CFU) ideas over the years. In 2014, the sales team at Cedarvale Lodge Retirement Community in Ontario had a prospect who was afraid the food wouldn’t agree with their “sensitive tummy.” Rather than dismiss that concern, Cedarvale devised a CFU that proved they were listening to the prospect’s concerns. They sent over a photo of their kitchen staff holding a sign that said, “Don’t worry. We’ll take good care of your tummy!” Like any good CFU, the idea was simple, compassionate and effective.
