When was the last time you were wowed by someone? Carolyn and I ate dinner at a restaurant recently that we hadn’t visited in over nine months. I must say our young female waitress wowed us with her kindness and her most pleasing personality. And she gave us excellence in service and attention.
I wasn’t impressed because she gave me a complimentary portion of food, but the overall experience of dining at Maddox Restaurant was above and beyond. It exceeded our expectations. She wowed us!
Have you wowed anyone lately?
Here are some ways you can wow someone in the New Year.
--Smile. Believe it or not, a simple smile now days can be considered a wow.
--Give extra attention to detail, particularly if you sense trouble or problems.
--Give something away. It could be a simple trinket, a small gift, a free month subscription to some publication, or a single stick of gum, but give something of value to the other person. You are simply saying “I recognize you. I appreciate you. I honor you.”
I once received a stick of Big Red gum in an envelope. The note from my friend simply said “you deserve the Big Red Award today.” That was all it said. The gum was tossed long ago, after chewing of course, but the memory of that act of kindness lingers.
--Write a note of appreciation to someone. Make it a daily or weekly habit. Watch and see the impact this thoughtful act has on your personal relationships and business friendships.
--Send someone a book when you know they like that particular genre.
--Call someone on the phone simply to say “Hi. I’m thinking of you.” Your thoughtfulness in remembering is a remarkable thing and has enduring qualities.
--Remember someone’s birthday. That is a real WOW!
--Express words of esteem to someone. Maya Angelou said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Wow someone with words … today!
What can you do in you your business or with your products to wow someone?
Go!
