Ann Marie Sabath is a business etiquette specialist. She publishes a monthly etiquette tip. I’m a subscriber. You can subscribe here. This month’s tip was about the power of saying thank you.
Check it out…
As the saying goes, “action speak louder than words.” This adage also applies to both how and when you say thank you.
Whether you are extending your appreciation to a prospect for business, complimenting a server for an outstanding meal or displaying your gratitude to a colleague for meeting a deadline early, the term, “thank you” is much appreciated.
A business person simply says thank you. A business professional goes over and above by extending appreciation in writing.
I really like what Ann Marie has to say here. In this day of email, handwritten thank you notes may seem like a quaint relic of an earlier time. But they aren’t. A handwritten thank you note on nice card stock will make you stand out from the pack. It brands you as a polished professional — and that’s a good thing.
