Thank You Notes: 101
Expressing sincere gratitude is a way to make your business relationships stronger. Sending hand-written notes to a colleague, customer or even a prospect, shows you truly appreciate them. They will feel affirmed, and your note will stand out in a world of electronic, impersonal communication.
Remember, thank you notes can recognize gifts, hard work, loyalty, bonuses, support or even be used just to stay in touch. In every note, include details that show the recipient how much you value him or her.
A few great phrases for business thank you notes*:
| | You should be proud of (all you've accomplished).
I've appreciated your (flexibility) though all of this.
You always have such a (positive, energetic, optimistic) attitude.
Your (presentation) was very (thorough and engaging). |
