Though I\u2019m not little anymore, I\u2019m still giving my thanks and now reminding my grown children of the same thing. But, this article isn\u2019t about parenting.<br \/>\nWhen someone holds a door open for you, your \u201cthank you\u201d is instinctual. Those words chirp out as verbal appreciation for a nice gesture. While I feel gratitude every day for my family, customers, coworkers, friends, etc, I often don\u2019t stop in my day to day to really think about the thanks I\u2019m giving and receiving.<br \/>\nTwo simple words with such power behind them. These small words can create emotions of cheerfulness and optimism, grow self-esteem, and make people feel happy, part of a team, and appreciated.<br \/>\nFor your customers, co-workers, employees, and friends\/family, here are 4 simple tips for showing them how valued they are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Get personal<\/strong>. Personalization makes an impact when you\u2019re serving your customers day to day, and even more when you employ it to show them your gratitude. I had a customer that had back-to-back issues once. Even though he could have been more than frustrated, he was so patient. I felt as though I needed to let him know how much I appreciated him being so understanding, so I made a certificate: the Certificate of Patience. He thought that it was awesome- and it still is hung up in his cubical today.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Put it in writing.<\/strong> Sure, sending an email is easy and technology makes it hard to resist, but the recipient takes special notice when you take the time to hand write your appreciation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Just because. <\/strong>Not because of holiday time, an anniversary, or a birthday, give a gift for no reason at all. The unexpected expression of gratitude leaves plenty of good feelings all around.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Impact your culture. <\/strong>It isn\u2019t hard to participate in a culture of gratitude around you. Especially in the workplace, a little bit of appreciation has a way of being contagious.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Every day, there is a reason to share your gratitude. Don\u2019t be afraid to show that you\u2019re paying attention.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2965\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/MM_AVA_2015.png\" alt=\"MM_AVA_2015\" width=\"150\" height=\"174\" \/>You can be going through the motions, or you can be using two powerful words to your advantage.\u00a0The Queen of Key Accounts is back this week with some grateful insights.
