Some good thoughts on being successful

August 24th, 2006

I hope I remember this when I work with my clients; it is very simple, but very powerful.

# Be worthy of trust. # Everyone knows that you are smart — don’t try to prove it. # You are there to help, not to be right. # Be a concierge – if it needs doing, do it. # Develop services and products that are worth paying a premium price for. # Do business as if you were working with a good friend –

Thanks David Maister and Geoff Considine.

    You are so right. Integrity means so much.

    Thanks for your comment Chris. I thought it was great to see it all spelled out, reminding us of what is really at the base of our relationships. I also like that it is put in “people language”, not business language.
