Know-How Exchange : Other

To start it off a friend of mine from outside of America said that the American sales person uses a very plastic form of appreciation that says "I've been trained to respond in the appropriate manner". This trained formal approach to handling customers has been viewed as plastic, fake and not geniune. So how can we really get back to a place where we are operating from our heart the center of our universe where being really, really geniune lives? My above question is really trying to get back to the heart of "Being Real" showing real geniune appreciation instead of that plastic stuff that really says we really have not matured as a person or culture. Thanks so much for all you do to help me see more clearly. Is there anything I can do for you because treating my customer in a loving manner is truly what I live for.

Hey Randall, (aka W.M.M.A)

It's okay for you to be ashamed of me. I burst peoples bubbles all the time so just don't let yours get to big any time soon or else I might....just... BURST>>> it. (lol)

Thank you so much for sharing your insights. You know how I am. I just like to go deeper if I can. Sometimes just hearing it from one more person gives me a richer shade of color than I had before.


Hi Sanjeev Kumar Vyas,

I would like to believe that most people can tell a geniune thank you from a not so geniune thank you but with so many thank you's being thrown at us like a ticker tape parade, who knows how people perceive this thing. One things for sure the common perception is that some of it is not geniune and I appreciat you sharing your insights about it.

Well Pepper Blue, Thank you for the compliment on the "good question". This subject of saying "Thank You" just has been at the back of my mind waiting for a chance to hear people like you express theymsleves.

I appreciate your input on this thing. I'm sure that a lot of people feel like they're on the receiving end of an autoresponder.

CLOSING SALUTATIONS:
Great explanations Pepper on the subject of closing salutations.


THINK ABOUT IT....
Has anyone out there just used closing salutations without realizing that "thank you" might not sound geniune?

Mandarud,

THANK YOU….LIFE OR DEATH
You have said it well and sure enough the vitality of this question can bring forth life or death not only in your business relationships but in your family and social relationships. I do most certainly agree with the depth of usage one may find in a more culturally wise person but even within the uncultured these two words have more power than we could ever imagine.

THANK YOU…OH HOW I’VE FAILED TO SAY IT! …..HOW I WISH I COULD EXPRESS IT WITH MORE GENUINESS THAN I EVER HAVE IN ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIVING, FOR IT IS A SIGN OF MY GRATITUDE…

(Not anyone else’s just the attitude of “MY gratitude”)…

Mandarud, I also agree with you that it is possible that “Thinking about whether it is automatic or artificial may not lead us to any finding”……..but it sure beats the heck out of not thinking about it at all. What we fail to ponder, meditate, incubate and release to germinate upon will surely come back upon us in ways that not reviewing it will remind us so hauntingly candid. And it is ((( oh! ))) so painful to be reminded of what we all have ignorantly and sometimes willfully failed to re-examine more closely. Thumbing back through our failures we must honestly recognize that we all have them and this reminds us of those simple moments when the use of “Thank You” would have been far better than showing our selfish lack of appreciation.

The famous German architect of Chicago’s most beautifully made buildings once said “God is in the details”.

“THANK YOU”….IS IN THE DETAILS.

To put another way “what you find in the details is divine”. The divinity that is communicated in the details of these two small words “Thank You” is almost heavenly when we utter them with purity of appreciation as we look into the eye “the mirror to the soul” of the person and release the fruit of our lips “Thank You”. This is how much we appreciate the actions of others and it is truly divine.

shamacharya,

Thank You, for your words of inspiration. I really like this and really appreciate your excellent insight when you said…

“but for me the tone, the voice (if conveyed orally) or the medium he has used (like artwork of the thank you card how carefully the person has written, also matter equally than just mere words.”

THIS IS GENIUS…the above really does communicate how observant we all really are.

How we communicate “Thank you” does impact us in the quality of its tone and the manner of disposition in our voice. We do humanly measure these things not as a way to cast judgment on the quality of a persons communication as if we were measuring what another says like it were an Olympic event.

But there are perfect 10’s in how we say “Thank you”. We are internally structured to measure the quality of what we hear, the intonation, the inflection, the physical gestures of others as they say the things they say. Yes we are all simultaneously sending messages…details of how we feel about what we are experiencing as we release words into the atmosphere of the listener.

DE-TAIL OR YOUR TAIL!
You better be paying attention to the de-tails or else it might be your tail that loses a friend, relative or very important client because you are not communicating with a language of love and appreciation of gratitude.

Remember these two principles…

YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES YOUR ALTITUDE (how high you will soar across the hemispheres of life to reach your dreams)

YOUR GRATITUDE DETERMINES YOUR LATITUDE (how far and wide & how many people you will have the ability to touch across the oceans and lands of this great earth)

TOGETHER BOTH OF THESE DETERMINE YOUR GREATNESS AND THE RICHNESS & QUALITY OF YOUR CHARACTER.


THANK YOU AGAIN shamacharya, for you said it well when you said…

“in todays marketing world thank you has almost has become part of marketing professional talk many times without any emotion in it. for me the emotion attached with the word tells more about how best, or how much the person is genuinely conveying his feeling.”


E-MOTION--------IS THE MOTION THAT POWERS “THANK YOU”
We are emotional beings and emotion is the power or fuel that propels “Thank You”. We can not be lethargic about how we use two of the smallest words but yet most powerful words in language. Shamacharya people really do want to believe that there will be some fire in your “Thank you”. Don’t under estimate the emotion of language. Real marketing is genuinely emotional because customers buy because of their emotions.

stk_hill,

Thank you so very much for offering another way to look at how we are used by Thank you.

Stk_hill>“I would think "thank you" speaks to the needs of humankind.”

THANK YOU SERVES A MUTUAL NEED…
OUR DESIRE TO BE APPRECIATED AND OUR DESIRE TO LET OTHERS KNOW WE APPRECIATE THEM.

“THANK YOU”…THE MENTAL FOOD OF CHAMPIONS…RECOMMEND DAILY ALLOWANCE…
Thank you does speak to our needs because we all have a desire to feel appreciated. When we receive a thank you we walk away re-fueled, re-energized and ready to go the extra mile. Thank you should be one of the dietary requirements of all the mental food we take into consumption.

WHY ARE WE LEAVING PEOPLE UNDER NURISHED AND IN A STATE OF MAL-NUTRITION
So often you fail to receive thanks to you for what you have done. And those of us (all of us) we fail to share our attitude of gratitude and we leave the world in a malnutrition state when we should leave the world more inspired. I know I’m tired, you’re tired, we’re all tired and that’s the easy way out of this but still people are starving for appreciation. What’s worse is what the other person needs to receive from you and what you need to give are of equal value to all parties concerned.

WE REAP WHAT WE SOW…WHAT WE GIVE WE RECEIVE… EVERYTHING REPRODUCES AFTER IT’S OWN KIND…

OH COME ON!!! YOU DON’T NEED TO RECEIVE A “THANK YOU”.
So many times we are not giving real appreciation and in turn we are not receiving or getting real appreciation because we are not giving any. What you give out comes back to you increased and multiplied. Why are people so engrossed in themselves and simultaneously starving? They are missing an opportunity to reproduce.

PLANT MORE GENIUNE THANK YOU’S SO THERE WILL BE MORE ATTITUDES OF GRATITUDE.
If a farmer fails to plant during the planting season he will not receive during the harvest season.

jerisu,
I really appreciate your short input about why it is so important to apply genuine versus fake appreciation

macpaddy, Great input. I love your stuff. Thanks so much for sharing. You impressed me with how you added the level of taking a thank you to a place where it comes with a description of why I’m thanking you. I often try to get my students to be more specific along these lines…here’s a chance to go deeper. As we learn how to give genuine thanks we begin to live from a much richer place on the inside.

LIVE TO GIVE THANKS…
Macpaddy, it really does feel good to be appreciated but I’ve learned to live to give thanks. Now more than ever giving genuine thanks is to me is more satisfying than looking for “Thank you”. The old bible verse that says “It is better to give than it is to receive” now has a place of true meaning and fulfillment in my life. Why?

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE IN LIVING TO GIVE…STOP LIVING TO TAKE!
Nothing beats giving! Nothing beats living to give…Living the other way is living to take. Looking for opportunities for people to pat you on the back. Start giving people a reason to be happy by living a life with purpose, vision and hope. People are looking for those who are living passionately. Passionate living keeps giving and never runs out of room to give because as we give we receive. We receive a new appreciation for wanting to give more.

Brian Tracy quotes one of the Universal Laws as “Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world”.

SAYING “THANK YOU” IS GIVING…BUT GIVING A GENIUNE THANK YOU IS ALWAYS BETTER…
And it reflects the quality of your living. So how are you living? Are you really committed to giving from within? Do you look for ways to say “Thank You” with sincere appreciation. Does your level of appreciation for others send you searching for a way to communicate your thank you from a more sincere position when you offer up your thanks? Or do you really think “it only matters that I say thank you” because no ones listening to my heart?

I hope you are enjoying this because I really appreciate your input. KINGWINTERS you know I appreciate just seeing your name on my post because I know you are going to always offer some Kingly advice :-)

Remember I love to live for an opportunity to encourage others. Give me a chance to do something special for you. Is there anything else I can do for any of you? You’ll never really know how much I truly appreciate everyone’s input on this question.

I was taught to say "thank you", but i only say it when i mean it.

If i don't feel like they mean it i just grunt, :) always gets a surprised look, then the next time they usually give it more feeling.

Of Course I agree with you Bill and I thank with the deepest level of appreciation and gratitude all of you. I have learned so much from this simple post including the answer to why "Thank You" is so utterly important to the foundation of what we become in the process of appreciating others. Two small words but one powerfully dynamic effect it has upon us all.
