Valedictions are rather powerful in emails... lots of people skip on it never thinking much about it. However I have had people email me back and say: You're the first person to "ever" say, hope your day is good - let alone the random thanks and responses back I get based on which one I use. Depending on the topic/situation, I have a huge list of them I use.

I try to use it correctly, so it has more meaning. Like if you just finished a deal, I truly mean it when I say, Enjoy the rest of your day. It's Friday, Hope you have a good weekend. If we start up a convo, hope all as well, works great. The more you know about the person, the easier you can connect with them.

It's amazing what people will respond back with. Thanks for asking Doc, my day has been total hell. That's all they have to say, to relate to them and remind that that this deal/product, whatever is todays game changer. The power of motivation closes almost every deal.

In public, it works great as well. At the drive through, respond back to them ask how they're doing - it trips'em up and they get all happy someone asked. 8 out of 10 times they will thank for asking at the window.

Very well said TheDoc. I say it to every client I have when I talk to them. It does help to show that you're a real person just like them and you care that they are doing well.

I say it but rarely mean it, unless the person did something nice for me.

Last week I told this woman from the insurance company that i hope she got hit by a bus on her way home from work... and I meant that

Add their name in (if you can see it or they tell you) and then it really trips them up. I do it at Starbucks all the time.

Whenever some cashier or what not says "how are you today" or something they are going to get a response from me that will stop them in their tracks. My response will be "fucking horrible" or "i'm having such a good day that my morning wood is still happy".

its like when people ask you as they see you in the corridor for example, "how are you" and then don't hang around fro an answer. its just an expression or a courtesy thing I reckon.

I mean it when I say it, since I say it usually to people I am doing business with or that I see on a regular basis and I do care about their well-being because my well-being depends on them.
