Hi,
Really the little effort of saying “thank you” or of writing and sending a “thank you” can have benefits far beyond the value of the moments involved. “Thank you” can motivate, validate, and give positive reinforcement. “Thank you” for the ordinary as well as the extraordinary can enhance the nurse's interpersonal relationships immeasurably and make it well worth the time spent. You can't afford to not say thank you frequently and graciously to those around you.

I have no idea how I missed this when it was posted. I am equal parts appreciative of the mention and embarrassed it has taken me this long to acknowledge it. Thank you Chris. Yes, a creative and heartfelt expression of gratitude always goes a long way. Your reply by mail was delightful. Time to buy some more stamps. Always need more stamps.

Great post. Thank You Chris!

ThankYou emails/calls/cards can go an incredibly long way and they take only moments to do. The fact that they are so simple maybe the reason they are so easily overlooked. In my opinion, most people assume there is a direct correlation between the time/effort of a task and the benefits (i.e. the more time spent working on something the better/greater the benefits will be). This is definitely true in certain situations, but a thank you card is a great example of the exact opposite. It’s a simple, easy, and quick way to stand out and be absolutely remarkable.

Today, handwritten notes are few and far between. That scarcity magnifies the value and power of handwritten notes. Most people won't rave about a “thank you email” to their friends and colleagues... but a “thank you card” may do the trick.

Also, the time in which the thank you is delivered makes a big difference. Time is critical, especially since we prioritize our activities based on importance. Hence, time equals importance. Sending a thank you as soon as you get the call/order/recommendation/etc increases the impact dramatically.

[...] Thank Yous Matter a Great Deal – Chris Brogan Mijn voornemen: vaker dank je wel zeggen. Gewoon voor een leuk gesprek dat ik had. Hulp uit een onverwachte hoek. Een glimlach van een ander. Eigenlijk is een bedankje de smeerolie tussen vraag en aanbod. Nee, het is nog anders: communicatie is de smeerolie, en een bedankje het toetje. Ofwel: the icing on the cake zoals de Amerikanen zeggen [...]

I'm learning the importance of saying Thanks.

For now, I'm using the Comment Email Responder plugin to not only reply to my reader's comments on my site, but to also send them an email with the reply.

Making a personal connection is so important!

Thanks for this post. It really is powerful. The problem is that most people forget to say thanks because once the moments passed we forget. I do that alot. So for my shameless plug ,(but its free :)), Im a developer on a project called meritbuilder. Its a way to build your brand but at its heart its being able to capture those thanks and also tell others thanks through email, twitter or the meritbuilder site. We run a veterans campaign http://www.meritbuilder.com/veterans and some of the notes that others have left are really inspiring. Check us out. We just launched beta. Thanks. http://www.meritbuilder.com/
