Just wanted to share a great experience I had. I'm a pizza chef at a local pizza shop, nothing fancy. So my days are pretty normal on a day-to-day basis. A couple who used to live in NY and apparently miss having good pizza came over to the shop with a huge box of cookies, just to compliment and thank me for the pizza I made last night. I've never felt so appreciated and that my efforts mattered so much. Share in the comments if something special like this has happened in your career.

That's awesome and so nice of them! It must have felt so validating for you as a chef. I love customers like that. I had one that stands out. An older woman who thanked me after helping her with a return issue. It was a small, simple thing, but I'd been having a terrible day and been dealing with awful customers nonstop, so her kindness really stuck out.

That was so lovely of them. And now I really want to try your pizza lol. It's not as thoughtful as your story, but I once had a regular customer bring me in some flowers because she saw how overwhelmed we had been the day before and she felt bad for me. Thought I could use some cheering up, and she was right.

It's nice when stuff like that happens makes you feel actually appreciated for what you do knowing you've made atleast a slight difference to someone's life.

Yes, the same happened to me. A customer came two days in a row and on their final visit, they bought me flowers and gave to me. I was really touched that I made that much of an impact on their experience 😊

That’s awesome! Moments like that make all the long hours in the kitchen totally worth it. Feeling appreciated, even in small ways, really sticks with you. I’ve had a few customers go out of their way just to say thanks—it’s the best feeling.

A few months ago I took a job selling internet service. Primarily, I work in the field, where I can make all my sales, but I have been kinda dipping a toe into reaching out to property managers via email. So, i have been trying to write a BASHO email template and I am hitting a wall. It’s hard to personalize it as a lot of the people I reach out to have no social media or are super hard to find. Basically what I have is Intro->benefit statement(one sentence)->CTA. Any advice?
