What sets you apart as a sales person is your ability to add that personal touch to your business relationship with your customers. Sending a gift on a special day, or leaving a note wishing them on their birthdays, are small, yet significant actions that show your customers that you care. And these are actions done without any expectations :) You must be engaging with a lot of customers and it is highly unlikely that they all are your friends on Facebook or some social channel,

So I did what Zoho told me to do, it was to verify a DKIM key. I created the key with the address, added the correct information to the TXT file in my domain's DNS settings, tried to verify it and it keeps saying 'Verification failed'. I tried it more then once, I reset the DKIM key, and for some reason it just won't verify. Either it's me being impatient or this thing isn't working.
