Why Say Thank You Anyway? I Steve Dalton,  Author of The Job Closer & 2 Hour Job Search   Most thank-you notes are nothing more than polite spam. They’re sent on autopilot, on reflex. That’s why they’re forgettable. But what if your thank you’s worked as a strategy not a formality… Even better, as he fastest way to turn a stranger into an advocate, to be referred, and re-invited? Steve Dalton—is the author of The 2-Hour Job Search and The Job Closer (translated into 7 languages) —joins me to dismantle the myth of thank yous.    Together we expose why: Generic thank yous commoditize you. They disappear into inbox purgatory. Bespoke gratitude compounds trust. It shows you heard, acted, and evolved. Follow-through is the differentiator. Not words, but proof. Gratitude is career capital. The cheapest, fastest way to turn strangers into advocates. This isn’t about manners.It’s about leverage. If you’re still treating thank you’s like a box to tick, you’re missing the single most underutilized tool in your job search arsenal. Listen in—and start saying thank you in a way that actually counts.   Connect with Steve Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daltonsteve/ Books https://2hourjobsearch.com/ https://www.thejobcloser.com/ Loved the episode?
