Do you want to leave a FAVORABLE IMPRESSION in either your business and/or personal relationships?
Writing a sincere Thank You Card/Note is one of the professional and personal skills that can make a lasting favorable impression.
***PEOPLE LIKE BEING APPRECIATED***
One of Dale Carnegie’s fundamental human relation principles is “Give honest, sincere appreciation.” When writing a Thank You Card/Note, keep it simple and make it personal, do not include a business card, company tag line and etc. You will want to use Real Greeting Cards whenever and as much as possible, and although preferable the card is not as important as the effort, so if paper is all that is available, write the note anyway!
Use this 6-step formula as a sure-fire method of expressing appreciation in a written card/note.
1. GREET THE GIVER: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith OR Dear Jamie. It seems like an obvious point, yet many people will begin a note with “Hi” or even omit the greeting.
2. EXPRESS GRATITUDE: Thank you so much for the book. The key is to keep it simple and specific. The point of writing the note is to create an expression of a heartfelt sentiment.
3. DISCUSS USE: I started to read the book immediately and have found many great ideas already. People like to know that you found their gesture or gift valuable. Sharing how you are using the item or idea makes their effort more meaningful.
4. ANOTHER THANK YOU: Thank them again for the business, gift, referral and etc. It’s not excessive to say thanks again.
5. COMPLIMENTARY CLOSE: Wrap it up with a close that expresses your final thought: Regards, All the Best, Sincerely, Gratefully, etc. Then sign your name.
6. SEND IT IN THE MAIL: Even if your business, associates, colleagues and/or acquaintances are not of the card sending or note-writing variety, be the one who sets the precedent.
It is the mark of a true professional to become skilled at writing REAL Thank You Cards/Notes in this age of email, voice-mail, and text messaging. It just means more to both the sender and the receiver of a REAL Thank You Card.
Demonstrating business professionalism is not difficult; it just takes effort and focus. Applying simple aspects of business etiquette goes a long way in establishing professionalism, which builds confidence and comfort in business settings.
