Gratitude

Gratitude is the art of showing appreciation to others. In business gratitude goes a long way in making your clients feel appreciated. There is an old quote, “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.” – Theodore Roosevelt. How do you show your appreciation to your clients? Most sales people don’t understand how to show gratitude and make their clients feel appreciated. Gratitude is a simple process. It is sending a thank you card for meeting with you, it is a happy birthday call to a client, and it is sending a Happy Thanksgiving card or a Happy New Year’s card. Anytime you put the client’s interest first you are practicing gratitude.

Gratitude must be sincere or your clients will know it. A client wants to know that you care showing gratitude makes them understand that. So, make sure you are showing your clients your gratitude because gratitude leads to referrals and referrals lead to increased sales. "Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy." Fred De Witt Van Amburgh. So as you can see the more gratitude you show the greater the potential reward for you and your business.
