This article is written for the hardworking realtors who look for ways to to do the right thing in their business development. 

Have you seen some of the Youtube.com videos blasting poor new home construction?  Social Media has helped to even the playing field for the little guy.  The little guy can now share a compelling story with the world without spending a dime.  Here is a different way to make your simple thank you have that kind of power.

Word of Mouth is a powerful tool that is celebrating a rebirth of cool  with a whole new vernacular and medium but the same old basic principles in place.  How can we collectively use this medium to touch, reward, and thank the people who choose to do the right thing even when they think no one is looking?

Today's world of social media has really spiraled toward the newest form of sound byte sensationalism.   Take advantage of it.  Reward the people who take care of your clients and your family.  I have posted one idea below.  Please comment and add your ideas and I will post a summary of all the valuable ideas.

I often take a few moments each week to send a thank you to the people who have gone above and beyond in taking care of my clients or my family.  Last week I took a different route of offering thanks.  Linkedin.com is a business/social marketing community for professional adults.  I searched each of the people I was going to thank and found out if they were indeed on the linkedin.com community.  Almost half of my list was indeed on linkedin.com.  Instead of sending them thank you notes I wrote recommendations for their services and efforts which would then post on their page for all of the word wide web to see.

My hope is that my authentic testimonial may someday earn them more business as well as remain a living and breathing online expression of my gratitude.  Linkedin.com is a wonderful tool for business development, keeping in touch with old colleagues, exploring new possibilities, and also for saying thanks for a job well done.  Take two minutes today to write a thank you.  Reward and touch someone in just two minutes.

Please share some of your ideas for saying thank you in today's business environment.  Feel free to ask some more questions about linkedin.com.
