SubscribeAnswer: Simply put, because as humans we crave to be appreciated.
Whether you are appreciating a family member, a friend, a co-worker, or a customer or client, people need to be acknowledged for what they do; they need to know that they make a difference.
How do you show appreciation?
Answer: We show appreciation any number of way; a simple smile and a thank you works well, but all to often we forget even to do this simple gesture.
Another way we show appreciation is by shooting off a quick note of thanks in an email. Also, good to do to acknowledge a fellow human.
We can give a small, yet personal, gift to someone we appreciate; flowers, a book, or a box of gourmet tea.
Perhaps the most effective and lasting way to show appreciation is with a heart-felt handwritten note. Mary Kay has taught this basic principle to her associates for years, and today she had built a billion dollar cosmetics company. Joe Girard knows about sending heart-felt handwritten notes; for years he sent out thousands of notes every single month. The result is that Guiness Book of Records awarded him as the World’s Greatest Salesman.
The Challenge
In your personal life the rewards of showing appreciation is having more and deeper relationships with your family and friends. In your business life showing appreciation will result in more sales, more referrals, increased customer loyalty, more promotions and of course bigger financial rewards.
So, my challenge to you is by the end of every day you think of at least three people to send a personal handwritten note to. After you get good at doing this, start thinking about one person a week that deserves a little something extra, such as an inexpensive gift. Now think about how your relationships will blossom by consistently doing these simple and inexpensive tasks.
As Maya Angelou has said:
People will forget what you say They will forget what you do, but They will NOT forget how you make them feel!Receiving a heart-felt personal handwritten note is the ultimate form of appreciation that makes people feel good!
