What are people saying about you.  I mean what are the people in your industry, your, clients, your prospects, your family, I mean everybody.  What people say about you is how you build your reputation. 

We can have the best product or service in the world but if our reputation is tarnished, people will pass on buying our product or using our service.  Believe me a bad reputation is easy to get but a good one is hard to keep.

What we do to keep our good reputation depends on:

1. How much we beleive in ourselves

2. How much we believe in our industry

3. How much we believe in our company

4. How much we believe in our co-workers

5. How much we believe in our clients

When our belief is high in the areas I mentioned, our accompanying actions will lead to providing the best service to our clients. One of the key things about people who know they have a good reputation is they don't rely on themselves to bolster their reputation.  They rely on others to do it for them.

But how do you get others to speak own your behalf?

Here's how I do it. 

*I give people an opportunity to say it through blogs (mine and others).

*I give people an opportunity to say it through email.

*I give people an opportunity to say it through voicemail.

*I offer people the opportunity to say it in my referral process.

I basically look for every possible way to give people a platform to say good things about me so others can see it or hear it. 

Look back over your blog responses, email and voicemail and I can almost gurantee you that people have said good things about you.  In fact you might just find something good I have said about you.

Keep your good reputation,

In another life, I managed a group of customer service representatives.  When the newer employees came in, I impressed upon them to have very high integrity.  Once you lose it, you never get it back.

Steve,

You said it good my friend.  We have to do what we can to help others think the best of us.  Their reinforcement makes it harder to lose what we have worked so hard to get. 

You have to be a good manager to help those who are just getting started.  Thanks Steve for how you assisted your team to be the best.
