Business thank you notes should be simple, but for most people, they end up feeling weirdly complicated. You know you should send one, but when the moment comes, you either overthink it or send something quick and generic that does not really land. A good business thank you note does not need to be long…
Most people send business thank you notes when it feels obvious. After a deal closes. After a gift shows up. After someone sends a referral or makes an introduction. You write something polite, hit send, and move on. That is fine. It gets the job done. But the business thank you notes people actually remember…
This is the part that should make us pause. We are more connected than any generation before us. We can reach anyone instantly. We are in constant communication.
