Updated today

A well-chosen Thnks isn’t just a way to say thank you – it’s a moment of connection. Whether you’re recognizing a client, thanking a teammate, or warming up a prospect, the right gesture can cut through the noise and make someone feel truly seen.

Watch this short video, then keep reading for more tips on choosing the perfect Thnks!

Why Thoughtfulness Matters

A Thnks that resonates with your recipient doesn’t just show that you care, it shows that you really listened.

When your Thnks feels personal, you:

  • Build trust and rapport faster

  • Stand out from the crowd

  • Create moments that spark real conversations

The new book they’re excited about? The team they won’t stop cheering for? The fact that they’re juggling school pickups and Zoom meetings? Noticing the little things and reflecting them in your gesture shows that you’re paying attention. And that makes all the difference.

Matching the Gesture to the Moment

To find a Thnks that feels personal and relevant, think about your recent conversations and what stands out. Start with the little things – those casual moments while you fix a mic or wait for others to join a call can tell you a lot about what matters to someone.

Not sure where to start? Here are a few common scenarios and some creative Thnks ideas to match.

Writing a Note That Lands

Once you’ve picked the right Thnks, the message is your chance to really connect. Keep it simple, sincere, and focused on your appreciation – not your next ask.

Lead with generosity and build the relationship. The follow-up can come later. For example:

Instead of: ”Thanks for chatting. Let’s schedule a demo next week?”

Try something like: “Since you mentioned you’re a big Giants fan… Hope this jersey brings some good luck during the playoffs! Appreciate the time you took last week.”

Authentic, personal gratitude resonates. That’s how you build trust… and rise above the noise.
