There are few things that are more touching to receive than a personalized thank-you card offering the sender's thanks for something you did to make their life better. Perhaps you entertained their sales call, or attended their wedding, or bought a nice gift for a baby shower. Whatever the occasion, it almost always warms the recipient to receive a nice card offering thanks. However, on some occasions when it's necessary to write out dozens or even hundreds of thank you cards, it can become tiresome to try to think up a little anecdote and note for each one. Regardless, it's critical – especially in sales – to ensure that each card is properly worded for maximum effect.
When writing thank you cards, it's best to sit down and think up some sort of a template for your thank you card wording. If the cards are sales related, it's best to include some sort of personalized bit of trivia that will show the prospect that you were very much paying attention. "Can't wait to unleash the fury on that hole 18 you showed me" or "Who knows – our kids might play great together! Let's picnic sometime." shows the recipient that you were paying attention to details about them, which is crucial to actually showing your thanks. A poorly worded thank you card can come off as trivial, so be sure to focus on showing your thanks for whatever it is you're thankful for, and showing the recipient that you care about the little details.
