Remember to encourage vacationing team members to enjoy themselves and do what you can to assure this. Office workers love getting candies, cookies, cakes and such. Award them with a pick me up each and every week.
The point is kindness and consideration is contagious. When we catch it we immediately pass it on with out even realizing it. And return is phenomenal. Soon spirit of gratitude and appreciation is passed on to client with response. "That's just way we do things around here."
In addition to giving your team a hefty dose of kindness give consideration to making some minor adjustments in way clients are thought of. One company sends out greetings cards on anniversary of contract established with each client.
Other companies focus on dates of birth. Another company sends out post cards containing seasonal reminders and money saving tips, while others choose some other personal focus.
A number of companies send out thank you cards with messages acknowledging a company’s good business ethics or involvement in community aid programs. All greeting, thank you and post cards are hand signed to give message personal appeal.
The key is get personal, say thank you in color meaningful ways, spread love and keep above all don’t let spirit of gratitude, appreciation and thanks get old. The success of your business depends on it.
