Simply Noted has always been about building relationships through meaningful communication. Handwritten notes showcase a personal touch and make you stand out against competitors. Perfection should be at the top spot.

At 25, I found myself in an unexpected position and didn’t know what my next step was going to be when I retired from my professional football career. But I have an ambitious drive that translated perfectly to sales and I also went back to school to study business. It was during one of my classes that my professor revealed handwritten notes have a high open-rate compared to other mediums. Then I utilized this method by sending hundreds of handwritten letters to my current clients and saw just how much it worked. That was the “aha” moment I had to start Simply Noted.

  • Inspiring story: he was cut by 5 NFL teams & ended up writing a new playbook (source)
  • In 3 years, he learned how to code, learned to navigate conversations with developers, UI/UX design teams, developing applications, APIs, SEO, PPC, business consulting, taxes, marketing, and anything in between;
  • An innovator: He developed a proprietary technology that puts real pen and ink to paper to scale handwritten communication.
