"I'm writing to express my gratitude for the help you have provided over the years we've worked together. For starters you have always been appropriately pragmatic while at the same time optimistic and encouraging about building a better way forward and a better future.

On the whole I believe that your coaching has been invaluable, but given that our professional lives are closely measured I can provide specific value to your impact. As a result of you guiding me I was able to lead my team of seven sales professionals to the highest level of performance ever seen in my organization. The collective performance of the team exceeded $1 million in sales in a single month, which had never previously been done. Additionally, as the Sales Executive I outperformed all of my national peers and achieved the Board of Directors designation three consecutive years, These stats are simply easy ways to quantify your impact!

I'm most impressed by your genuine willingness to help others. It is clear that your intentions are to help others become more successful, not exclusively in the workplace, and not exclusively for a particular metric or measure. Instead you help people achieve comprehensive improvement, which leads to better outcomes for them in the workplace and beyond. Moreover, you have demonstrated consistent improvement in your approach to selling and leading talented sales professionals. Said another way, you practice what you preach and that has further deepened my respect for you.

Your encouragement - again appropriately tempered - helped me to transition to owning my own business. I am delighted to report that my launch has been successful as I have acquired clients quickly, due in large part to messaging that you helped develop.

In closing, thank you for your help throughout my corporate career and your guidance to me as an entrepreneur. It is an absolute pleasure working with you and I look forward to our continued friendship and continued success."
