Please and Thank You

In our on-demand world, it seems that saying please and thank you is becoming a dying art, something we only hear as part of a standard sales script (thank you, please come again). When you stop to think about it, saying please and thank you helps imbue your personal and professional relationships with an added level of respect. Each magic word reinforces the fact that you value the other person’s time and effort, that you’re grateful for their willingness to help you, or give you cookies, or whatever the case may be.

So for the next three days, pay attention to how often you say please and thank you. Then try increasing it and see what kind of results you get.
