    "There are times when you are not able to attend to the needs of customers instantly. It is vital that you thank the patient and impatient ones." Exactly! Thanking both the customers that are patient and those that aren't is the best way to go. Often businesses only pay attention to those customers who are complaining. A handwritten thank you note is always a nice touch. For busy sales and marketing people who don't have time, they can use handwritten thank you note services like ThankThank Notes or That's Gratitude.
