It’s time to say, “Thank You!”

By Jim Connolly | August 17, 2010

In business, it’s easy to assume that people know how much we appreciate them, so we often don’t bother saying anything.  The thing is, your words of appreciation or praise are enormously powerful.

A quick email, Tweet, phone call or thank you note from you, can transform someone’s day from being just average to being wonderful and it only takes a minute or two of your time.  For those going through a tough time right now, your words of appreciation can be worth more than gold.

So, Why not make today the day where you:

  • Tell your clients how much you love working with them.
  • Email a few of your contacts, just to let them know that you value your relationship with them or the support they offer you.
  • If you write a blog, publish a post that thanks the people who have helped you and make sure you name names.
  • Tell the person that serves you in the coffee shop that you appreciate the way they look after you.
  • Write a quick testimonial for one of the companies that provides your business with a great level of service.
  • Reach out to a blogger, whose advice helps you, but maybe she doesn’t know yet. (Bloggers need a hug occasionally too you know!)

Thank you!

I would like to get things started, by thanking you! It’s almost exactly 2 years since I launched this blog and a huge part of it’s success is down to the way you have shared my posts with your friends.  Equally, the comments and emails I receive from readers are a constant source of inspiration.

Most importantly, without you Jim’s Marketing Blog wouldn’t exist.  That’s a fact, and one that I will never forget, as I strive to provide you with the best, free marketing and business development ideas I can.
