Do You Care About Your Customers?

After talking to a prospective client the other day – a thought came into my head that I hadn't even though of in years.

“People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”

This is the bare bones truth… As a young person one of my first jobs was in sales. I was quite shy and really hated the hard sale or the pushy image sales people could give off.

Sales have had a bad reputation – there is still a misconception that sales people are insincere and manipulative (anything for a sale). Don't get me wrong these people are out there, and they give everyone a bad name.

I am a strong believer in what goes around comes around, this type of person seldom becomes a super star, they quickly fade – and dye out, or go out with a bang/bad reputation and what have they got left??

Being ethical and honest in your business is the only way to truly love what you do - (and we are all in sales don't kid yourselves).

The 3 secrets to having a successful business, as well as being an amazing sells/marketing person are:

• Believe in your product/service.
• Believe in yourself
• Believe in what YOU CAN DO FOR OTHERS…

If you cannot say yes to all three of these things then you must find a different career path, or a different product to sell/promote because I promise you will never be successful... Never

And always remember this simple truth..

“People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care!”

Keep Doing What You Are Doing, Keep Getting What You Are Getting.

I was talking with some entrepreneur friends that have been struggling with certain aspects of their business. He and his Business Partner invested a great deal of time and money into a product, that I truly believe if marketed correctly could make this couple multimillionaires.

In our conversation, they shared with me the biggest frustrated that had been haunting them. Sometime ago they had contacted a professional who could be instrumental in giving their product high visibility. They had given literature and samples, had numerous meetings spending a great deal of time. They had been promised things that were never delivered.

Months later they were still trying to contact this person – did not get phone calls returned, when finally reached. She once again promised things that were never given.

“They just wouldn't move on. 

It was painful to listen to."

Why would anyone just do the same thing over and over? I was quite blunt and told them they needed to find another Avenue; this person is not going to help you! It may not be what they wanted to hear, but it was the truth.


As a business owner you need to make sure you do not run on false hopes and beliefs. When you run into someone who promises you something and doesn't follow through, Move on! Sometimes things do happen; if you want to give that person, a second chance that is fine, but no third.


If the person or potential client you are working with does not have the courtesy to be honest and up front with you,  you cannot waste your time. The energy and emotion you put out knocking your head against a brick wall will kill your spirit. When you are constantly being filled with faults hopes, you do not have the energy and vitality it takes to move forward and access the true opportunities that lay ahead.



What is the moral of the story?


To have a successful business, you must deal with the movers and the shakers – not the deadbeats.
