How can you easily connect with your current customers and prospective partners? Especially while most of us are working remotely?
Turns out, there’s a simple solution that will help you to elevate rapport with your desired buyers and strengthen ties with your clients in our virtual environment: Saying “Thank You.”
Yes, the importance of practicing gratitude, specifically in the workplace, has become popularized over the past few years—and that’s because the beneficial effects are scientifically proven.
According to a study from Harvard Medical School, there is a science behind demonstrating gratitude. When gratitude is displayed and communicated, people begin to:
- Feel more valued
- Strengthen connections
- Develop personal loyalty
These three gratitude outcomes combine to create feelings of reciprocity—which is the idea that “if I provide something of value to you, you’ll want to provide something of value to me.” And when gratitude is practiced in business environments, that same concept of reciprocity can create bigger outcomes for your organization.
