Funny how sometimes a mere “Thank You” is one of the best things to happen to you all year…..I’m serious….You work on something for a client you just met this year….You work hard on it, and things go well, and you’re just hoping you’re going to “click”, and that client will be happy with your work–maybe even very happy….and when you’re done, you receive a hand-written note from the client that not only confirms that they are very happy, but it says ‘Thank You’…..it floors me….because now that I have gotten to know that client, I know that this represents a sincere appreciation for what I do….Now, of course you know when you’ve done a good job for people, so you don’t really need the reinforcement to build your confidence, but….I guess I sometimes take for granted that I can perform my job well, and make my clients happy….So when you see it in writing, it hits home–and you realize in a fresh, new way that your customer was absolutely thrilled with the results of your efforts, and can hardly wait to tell you so….Ah, the simple things in life are sometimes the best, aren’t they?
