The Importance of Saying Thank You in Business

Showing You Care

The illuminance offices were recently packed with those people we believe have all contributed to the business’ success.

From team members and their families and loyal clients, to WA Minister Paul Papalia, Microsoft’s One Commercial Partner Director Rachel Bondi and my university lecturer – it was really special to celebrate with everyone together under one roof.

But you don’t always need food and a party to show your appreciation. It’s all about being authentic and genuine.

A small gift, a card, a handwritten note or simply just saying ‘thanks’ can go a long way to making a lasting impact on someone.

What Comes Around Goes Around

Myself and business partner Vincent Lim follow Karmic Management philosophies, which underpins everything we do at illuminance. This is based on the idea that helping others in business – staff, customers, suppliers and even competitors – will lead to future success in business and life.

It’s like that proverb ‘what goes around comes around’, and it really does.

So, Thank You

Make someone’s day instantly better by showing them your appreciation. It might not seem like much now, but in the long-term a simple thanks can strengthen your relationships. And you never know when that thank you could be returned to you, in words or in future business.
