Developing a regular thank-you note habit is one of the most effective ways you can improve your sales process. We will look at some thank you note samples below.

 

What is a Thank you note?

 

A thank-you note sent to someone shows that you respect that person. It’s a concrete way of expressing your appreciation. In most cases, two or three sentences are plenty to convey your meaning.

 

Different Ways to Send Thank you notes

You can send thank-you notes via email and even include an e-card. But a thank-you note written in your handwriting on a physical piece of paper sends a much stronger message. While you probably won’t want to hand-write every note, you should certainly think about doing so in special circumstances — for your biggest customer or someone who does you a significant favor.

 

One way that you can save time in your writing is to craft templates that will fit several common situations. That way, all you have to do is put in a few details and send the note along. Here are a few thank you note examples to get you started.
