Advisor Alley: Thnks

Editor’s Note: This is part of the Advisor Alley series, brief, bi-weekly articles that provide a quick read about activities that other advisors, like yourself, are engaging in to serve their existing clients and prospect for new clients in this ever-changing environment in which we are all working. 

You may think this title has a typo, but it doesn’t. Thnks.com is a cool website / application that allows you to let your clients know that you appreciate them by allowing you to send gestures of appreciation. 

The company’s website describes the service in this way.

  • Thnks is a relationship-building application that lets you send timely, relevant and thoughtful gestures of appreciation to strengthen your relationships.
  • The most powerful tool you have for creating success is to appreciate others: simple considerate gestures like saying thank you have the power to completely change another person’s perspective.
  • Thnks is personalized to the recipient and delivered instantly via email or SMS.
  • Recipients can accept their Thnks seamlessly with no app to install or account creation needed on their end.

Thnks has thousands of available gestures that can be sent to clients and prospects. Gesture values range from $5 to $100 and include items such as coffee, cookies, and movie tickets. You can even choose to have your companies branding added if you have either a Pro or Enterprise Plan. If the app is approved for organization-wide use, users can connect their Salesforce account to it for tracking and analytical reporting. The company’s website even has a sales best practices guide to help you out. As an advisor, you should always consult with your compliance department to ensure that you are in compliance with your company policies.
