What’s the idea with Barack Obama winning? Here’s a clue. This is an email he sent out to supporters upon hearing of his election. Note the time:

Subject: How this happened
Terrence — I’m about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first. We just made history. And I don’t want you to forget how we did it. You made history every single day during this campaign — every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it’s time for change. I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I’ll be in touch soon about what comes next. But I want to be very clear about one thing… All of this happened because of you. Thank you, Barack |
Remembering to say “thank you” is an important way to build loyalty. Peace!
