Find a Way Every Day to Say Thank You!

Saying ‘thank you’ to your clients, advocates, friends, family—in essence- your entire network is always in style.

Did you make a New Year’s resolution that sounds something like this?  “I will stay on people’s radar screen daily—with a simple thank you, showing my appreciation or staying in touch.”  If so,  how are you doing with it?

Keeping-in-touch fosters stronger and better relationships that can possibly lead to more referrals and opportunities.

Competition is alive and well and whatever you do to sincerely stand out from everyone else can be helpful in earning or keeping the business or getting that opportunity you want.

I have always been a huge advocate of sending personalized, hand-written heartfelt notes and keeping up the ‘high touch’ in a high tech world. Always having special interest types of cards and notes is the added bonus in that your recipient knows you really took the time to think of them specifically.

Put Thought into It – Write a short note expressing your sincere thanks and be specific.

An unexpected note that arrives in the mail always stands out.

Often it takes up to twelve ‘touches’ before you make the sale or get an opportunity to meet with your prospect or client.

Stay top of mind with frequent and sincere communication that brings a smile to their face.

It all lies in the POWER to connect and stay in touch:

Put it into practice now – why wait?

Opportunity is everywhere – keep your eyes and ears open to new thoughts and ideas

Write your notes, hand-written notes, that are sent via snail mail (help the U.S. Postal service stay in business, in addition to surprising your contact with a hand-written note!)

Everyday send a card or note to someone in your sphere of influence. Showcase the fact that you truly care about building solid relationships.

Relationships and referral opportunities will grow over time.  Be patient and consistent – relationships are worth developing properly.

Tell me what you are doing to say “thank you” to those in your sphere of influence.  I would enjoy hearing of the different choices you are using and how effective they are for you!  Please post your comments below  . . .

To Your Netweaving Success!
