# Men Need To Say Thank You More Often In Personal and Business Relationships *By James Hills, menwhoblog.com — Updated August 2022* Written by: [James Hills](https://menwhoblog.com/james-hills.html) Last Updated: 19 August 2022 Top BlogHits: 3494Reading time: 03:35 When it comes to saying thank you, men often struggle. We are taught from a young age that it's not polite to brag or talk about ourselves too much. This can lead to us feeling uncomfortable when we should be expressing gratitude. In both our personal and professional lives, it is important for men to say thank you more often. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why this is so important, and provide some tips on how to make saying thank you a habit in your life! ## Why Is Expressing Gratitude So Important? There are many reasons why expressing gratitude is important. In our personal lives, it can help to build and maintain strong relationships. Saying thank you shows that we appreciate the people in our lives, and helps them to feel valued and appreciated. In business, expressing gratitude can help to build strong working relationships, and can also lead to increased sales and repeat customers. Studies have shown that people are more likely to do business with companies who show appreciation for their customers! ## How To Make Sure Your "Thank You" Is Sincere When you say thank you, it should always be sincere. A half-hearted "thanks" can actually do more harm than good! If you're not sure how to make your thank you sound sincere, here are a few tips: - Make eye contact when you say it - Take a moment to really think about what you're thankful for before saying it - Put feeling into your voice - speak from the heart - Say it like you mean it! One other very important way to make sure your expression of gratitude comes off as sincere is to have it be more than simply "saying thank you". For instance, a thank you gift or a handwritten note makes your effort more personal and impactful. When I think back to days when I was in corporate marketing, getting a handwritten [note from a vendor](https://www.madavegroup.com/the-benefits-of-thanking-customers) showed that he or she truly appreciated the time we spent together in a meeting. The reality though is even those notes were often written by a secretary or assistant but as they say, it's the thought that counts. Most of us don't have a secretary to make a note like that but there are options such as the [thank you card service](https://www.handwrytten.com/) Handwrytten to do it for you. All you need to do is type out a message on their site or mobile app and their robots will write your message and send it out on your behalf. Saying thank you is a simple way to show appreciation, but it can make a big impact in our lives. Next time someone does something nice for you, take a moment to express your gratitude. It will make them feel good, and it will also make you feel good too!   ## Saying Thank You Needs To Become A Habit In Your Daily Life Making a habit of saying thank you will not only make you feel better, it will also improve your relationships and make the people around you feel appreciated. Here are a few tips to help you make saying thank you a part of your daily life: - Every day, take a moment to think of one thing you're thankful for. It could be something as simple as your morning coffee or the sun shining outside. - Make it a point to say thank you every time someone does something nice for you, no matter how small. - Whenever possible, go out of your way to show your appreciation. A handwritten note or small gift can mean a lot to someone who has helped you out. - Keep track of the times when someone goes out of their way for you, so you can be sure to thank them later. Saying thank you is a simple way to show appreciation, but it can make a big impact on our lives. Next time someone does something nice for you, take a moment to express your gratitude. It will make them feel good, and it will also make you feel better. Making a habit of saying thank you will not only make you feel better, but it will also improve your relationships and make the people around you feel appreciated. **Hey James Hills wants you to share this!**   ---   Written by: [James Hills](https://menwhoblog.com/james-hills.html) #MenWhoBlog MemberBlog MasterThought Leader James' passion for exploration and sense of duty to his community extends beyond himself.
