How To Benefit From The Awesome Power of Two Simple Words –Thank You! According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
How To Benefit From The Awesome Power of Two Simple Words –Thank You! According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group ™
Please take a moment after reading this first sentence and think about how many good deeds and intentions you witnessed or were personally involved with or impacted by in the past week. Okay. How many times did you witness someone expressing thanks or if you were directly involved, did you take a moment to express your thanks? I believe the responses to the questions would be very interesting and in some cases, disappointing. The real issue here is the lost opportunities to express thanks.
Two simple words put together as “Thank you!” have awesome power that binds and builds relationships. Think of the times you received thanks verbally or in writing and you will have sensitivity to this power. “Thank you” confirms that something positive and special has happened and also provides the opportunity to return some very positive emotions back to the giver of thanks.
It amazes me that so many people never send thank you notes (or even say thank you) when such gestures are absolutely the right thing to do. In fact, a Lenox etiquette poll found that nearly 5 out of every 10 people don’t always say thanks. To me that is a very sad commentary. However, that being said, I personally know and witness the awesome power of thank you notes because I write an average of at least 2 or more per week and receive very positive feedback. And on the other hand I receive very few handwritten notes and those that I do stand out very strongly. The act of writing sincere thank you notes is a very effective differentiator since it is “the exception” in today’s world.
So you are asking how can you benefit from this awesome power of thank you.
Here are seven (7) tips on how to do that from your strategic thinking business coach.
1. Send a timely thank you note to show appreciation, courtesy and respect.
2. Send an appropriate thank you. Most times a simple written thank you is sufficient. However, on some very special occasions or under some extraordinary circumstances, some token of appreciation would be okay, if you don’t go overboard on the token.
3. Send a thank you note that shows you put some genuine thought into writing it and that you are sincere.
4. Send a thank you that is personalized in some way. For example, a book written by his or her favorite author; a CD by his or her favorite musician; a special photo of a favorite place or person; or something that is uniquely interesting.
5. Send a thank you without conditions or expectations of getting something in return.
6. Commit to always expressing thanks and doing it sincerely.
7. Commit to writing at least two thank you notes every workweek and make it personal and meaningful.
Your strategic thinking business coach encourages you to take a close look at how and how often your business expresses thanks internally and externally. Expressing thanks and writing thank you notes is not very difficult or
time-consuming, but it results in very significant benefits. If you would like to learn how to use the awesome power of thank you in your business and how a strategic thinking business coach can facilitate and guide you in that endeavor, please contact Glenn Ebersole today through his website at www.businesscoach4u.com or by email at jgecoach@aol.com
