Ways to say thank you this holiday season.
As we approach Thanksgiving, according to Hallmark (and defrosted Mariah Carey), we’ve officially entered the season of giving.
That means it is the right time to start thinking about ways to thank your customers and delight your prospects with thank you gifts.
Whether you have a new account list, are working on becoming a trusted advisor, or have been working with a customer for many years - this time of year can provide the opportunity for you to show gratitude for the relationship you have with your client or prospect.
And if your relationship has been rocky, it could be a way to soften the tension.
Plus, nothing makes your competition look like a Scrooge more than a kind and gracious thank you gift from you and your company. Bonus points if you throw in some branded swag for them to wear to their next meeting with your competition.
Tight on budget?
Saying thank you doesn’t have to break the bank - we’ve heard from multiple sales leaders that a handwritten thank you card goes a long way. The key is sharing why you appreciate your partnership with them.
Have some hidden baking talents? Make them something from scratch - just make sure you check on their allergies and dietary restrictions first! As always, it’s the thought that counts.
Have a long account list? Focus your giving on your top customers - you don’t need to send 200 thank you cards and gifts, but 15-20 is totally worth the time and effort. Don’t be a grinch about it!
