Stand Out in Business the Write Way – Part 2
By: Lydia Ramsey
5. Poor penmanship is no excuse unless your handwriting is totally
illegible. The person who receives your note will appreciate your
thoughtfulness and will not be grading your handwriting. If your penmanship
does not meet your standards, it is never too late to improve. There are
numerous resources at your library or on the Internet to teach you to write
legibly.
6. Use any occasion to get noticed with a note. A few of those instances are
when...
You have received a gift
You were a guest in someone's home
You were hosted to a meal
You received a business favor
You are replying to an invitation
You are sending condolences
You want to offer congratulations
You need to apologize
7. Make your message timely. Whether you are
sending a note of appreciation, congratulation or condolence, do it as quickly
as possible. A thank you should go out within 24 to 48 hours. However, don't
forgo sending a note because you think too much time has elapsed. There is no
definite statute of limitations on appreciation.
8. Understand that e-mail is not a substitute
for the personal handwritten message. The Internet is fast, efficient and
remote. If you are corresponding by e-mail immediately following a meeting with
a business associate, include your expression of gratitude, but don't let that
stop you from sending a second message by ground.
Successful people pay attention to the details
and look for ways to build better business relationships. When you take the
time to send handwritten notes, you will stand out from the crowd for all the
right reasons. Your next big sale or job promotion may came about as a result
of your doing business just a little differently.
