I’m Canadian.
In our culture,
we say ‘Thank you.’
Not saying it
is one of the gravest of sins.
In my Romance Novel Business,
I work with quite a few Americans.
It isn’t as normal
in American culture
to say ‘Thank you.’
This has given me
a strategic advantage
because,
shocker,
people like to be thanked.
They like to be appreciated.
Thanking business partners
often gets me the star treatment
the next time I work with them.

“[A Study completed
at Wichita State University]
reported that employees
rated a manager’s thanks
as the most motivational incentive
of all.
Unfortunately,
more than 58 per cent of employees
say they rarely receive
a personal thank you.”
Thanking people is free
and it is easy.
Do it.
