Note from the Editor \u2013<\/strong>
\nLast month, I took a few days to stop and plan for 2012, but before I could plan for a whole new year I had to stop and reflect on what the last twelve months has brought me.\u00a0 So, as another year winds down, it\u2019s with a humble heart that I remember on the lessons learned and the amazing people I\u2019ve had the privilege to work beside.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sending a very special thank you to each of my clients and students, my contractors, business associates, my awesome representatives and my employee, who made this year worth noting!\u00a0 I am grateful for the growth you\u2019ve pollinated not only in my own life, but in the life of Propel and I wish each of you the kind of support and success you have offered me.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The words \u201cthank you\u201d don\u2019t touch what my heart wants to say.\u00a0 But it\u2019s the very least of what I can offer to show my gratitude.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers to a new a year of adventure that lies ahead in 2012! \u00a0Let’s make this the best year yet!\u00a0<\/em><\/span>–\u00a0<\/em>Jamie<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This holiday,<\/strong> we want to express our sincere thanks, and offer inspiration about the power of gratitude.<\/p>\n

Cultivating a culture of gratitude in your business may sound idealistic, but it\u2019s actually a proven, strategy for many notable companies such as: Nordstrom, Les Schwab, Southwest Airlines and others.\u00a0 Not only is it good for business, but developing an attitude of gratefulness affects your personal outlook on life as you realize how much you truly have to be grateful for.<\/p>\n

Here are strategies for expressing gratitude that Propel has found to be meaningful:<\/p>\n

Most simply, a heart-felt \u201cThank you\u201d cannot be undervalued or overused<\/span>. No need to be wordy or emotional, nor should it be hurried or half-hearted. With the proper tone of voice, body language, and eye contact, \u201cThank you\u201d becomes a powerful way of connecting.<\/p>\n

When expressing gratitude, be specific<\/span>, such as: \u201cThank you for your time,\u201d \u201cThank you for the input you gave me about that project,\u201d etc… Even if your words seem trivial, no one forgets the feeling of being appreciated and they are most likely to reciprocate.<\/p>\n

Do not underestimate the impact of thank-you cards<\/span>; they are a lost art in this fast-paced business world.\u00a0 More than an email or phone call, a hand-written note communicates the value of the relationship. Be intentional about including specifics regarding qualities you admire or the act of which you are appreciative.<\/p>\n

Recently, my friend told me about how her insurance broker of 15 years ends every meeting and conversation with, \u201cThank you for being my customer.\u201d It\u2019s so intentional and consistent that one day she questioned him.\u00a0 He explained, that with all the options she has, he truly feels grateful and appreciative every time she chooses to continue to work with him. Could it be that simple?\u00a0 Of course it is!\u00a0 In today\u2019s world, we would be amiss to take any level of success for granted.<\/p>\n

Each person desires to be valued. Expressing gratitude to your clients builds a strong connection leading to loyalty. More importantly, gratefulness powerfully affects your approach to life, setting a course for true success…This kind of success is not measured by dollar signs, but rather by the quality and depth of your relationships.<\/p>\n

This holiday season, if you make one resolution, resolve to embrace the power of gratitude.<\/p>\n
