Heartfelt Card Story

SendOutCards and Business OwnersPosted by Thomas Quintin

Tony came to work for me after twenty-three years with one company then left for a better offer after two days. I sent him a card wishing him good luck at his new job and telling him to give me a call some time to tell me how well he was doing.
A few weeks later, he called to say hello and thank me for the card, which I had forgotten I had sent. He told me that he never heard from the company that he had worked at for twenty-three years, but after working for me for only two days he had received a card. His voice broke as he said, "You don't know how much that meant to me."
I now make an extra effort to send a heartfelt card every day because I believe that for every Tony that calls to say thanks, there are many others that are just as moved but who never get around to expressing it.
