Other than the usual off-the-shelf gifts, doing something creative for your partner such as making a one-of-a-kind painting or cooking an elegant meal always garners extra appreciation. If you can manage your holiday schedules, an experiential holiday to create special memories would be the perfect getaway. Some reminders for gentlemen: unless you plan on driving …

Nowadays, most of us are communicating through text messages rather than actual phone calls, especially when we first interact with a new friend. It is very important that we are mindful of our language and the “voice” we use. In non-business communication, you can use a more informal or relaxed tone, but you should keep …

I received a very heartwarming message from a former client yesterday. She had recently closed the deal (got married) and couldn’t be happier.

And when the woman shows appreciation, the man feels good because he was able to …

*During a follow-up, a client who is a journalist was asking very critical questions. I said I hope you’re not doing the same when you’re on a date. She said, “But I’m a journalist. I always think this way.” I said if you were interviewing Princess Diana or Mother Teresa, would you take a softer …

Rachael & Smith recently created Pool Networking events to increase opportunities for interaction and socializing for clients who sign up as part of the service. In this group, potential matches meet regularly to practice. One night, I was playing with my client Evelyn when two mature western guys in their early 50s came up and …
