Earlier today, I heard from a client who was in a bit of a bind. Another writer had picked up assignments with a 2 day deadline, and cancelled out just before it was due. This client has sent out many similar assignments, of which I have completed several. So they asked if I would take them with a 1 day deadline, but they needed them done today. I juggled things a bit, and got them done within the next few hours.
Why was I eager to make adjustments? Because this client has mastered the simple habit of saying thank you. They don't give be outstanding ratings on things. They don't butter me up with compliments or bonuses-- although that would be nice. But they consistently say thank you.
Thank you makes a business transaction a little more than just business, but still keeps things genuine. There is no ceremony or fanfare required, just two words, honestly y meant to show appreciation for whatever you do whether mundane or major.
So I say thank you for reading, and bearing with me. It's appreciated.
