Part of building a successful business is treating your clients with respect. Taking the time to write a thank-you letter by hand will convey a positive message to those who choose to do business with you. Yet it's not enough to simply jot down a sentence of gratitude. Instead, put some forethought into your thank-you message so your clients will feel privileged to have a business relationship with you, and may recommend your services to others.
Instructions
1. Jot down some ideas that relate to the client so that you can make the thank-you note less generic and more personal. If you include information that lets the client know you were listening to what he had to say, it should make a positive impression. For example, if you are a personal trainer and the client told you he wanted to get into the best shape of his life, write something in the thank-you about appreciating his dedication and willingness to strive for what he wants.
2. Add a line about looking forward to working with the client to fulfill her goals. Make sure she knows that you are committed to helping her get what she wants out of your business relationship.
3. Thank the client for his time and interest in working with you to fulfill his needs. In all likelihood, at least one other person is available to meet with your client and provide similar services. Make sure your client knows you appreciate his choosing you.
