Day 30: 30 Days of Networking. The gratitude of gratitude. #30DNet

July 31, 2009 by Suzi Dafnis 

It’s Day 30 of 30 Days of Networking and I’m going to keep today’s post short and sweet.

Say thanks.

Easy enough? Maybe -  but I don’t feel we say thank you enough (or, at least I don’t say it as often as I think it and sometimes just don’t get around to it). I haven’t met a person yet who doesn’t like to be thanked, acknowledged and recognised.

So, Who in your network do you want to thank?

  • The person who sent you a referral?
  • Your newest customer?
  • The last three people who followed you on Twitter?
  • The person who made a comment on your blog post?
  • The host who held the event you last attended?
  • The person who just served you a great coffee?
  • The person you sat next to at a lecture who you shared insights with?

Just say thanks, and let’s make a habit of it. (I’m a big buyer of notecards and I must confess I have way to many in my cupboard that would be better inscribed and in the hands of people to whom I owe gratitude. So, that’ll be a job for this weekend!)


TODAY’S TASK

Thank someone. Publicly.

Tweet it! and let us know how much you appreciate the person and why.


I’d like to thank you for taking part in 30 Days of Networking. I hope that you got value from the daily lessons and have been able to make at least one new connection through the process. I hope you’ve also learned a little more about how to use Twitter to network.

I’d love to hear about your experiences and networking successes over the last month and look forward to staying in touch through the Australian Businesswomen’s Network programs.

If you haven’t yet signed up for the Networking with Men webinar next week, I hope you’ll join me. ABN members – login for free access. Non-members… we’d love you to join us too… Use coupon code GUEST for free access to try us out.

    Thank you Suzy for putting on the #30DNet. I learnt a lot, met amazing women and made some friends. All goals achieved.

    Hi Suzie,
    Love the concept which I just received through my Facebook networks. I would love to introduce myself and see if others join in for August too.
    My goal for 30 days of networking is to learn more about using Twitter and hopefully by doing that I will join a completely new network along the way.
    Currently, I am coaching small business operators who are only just learning about social media and the benefits for their businesses so I would like to be able to demonstrate what they are as I have mainly concentrated on Facebook to date. Cheers Penny

    Thanks Penny. People are in all stages of participation so a little hard to corral them all together but look forward to hearing what you’re learning. Suzi
