Real gratitude is about helping the people you work with feel good and expanding how you work together.
Not the auto-added “thanks for your time” at the end of an email (blech). Not the fake-friendly voice that shows up when you’d rather be anywhere else.
Actual, personal appreciation changes the conversation. It doesn’t take much effort, just attention.
- “Thanks for explaining your internal process. That helped.”
- “Appreciate how direct you’ve been with your feedback.”
- “Thanks for letting me know the details on the delay most people wouldn’t.”
It makes you memorable. It makes you human.
And the side effect?
You’ll like your day more.
Rejection won’t sting as much.
You’ll stop seeing prospects as pipeline and start seeing them as people.
Gratitude shifts your mindset.
It builds trust.
And yes, it does close more business.
Make gratitude part of how you show up,
Lynn
