We Will be Known For What we Do

“I always remember an epitaph in the cemetery at Tombstone

Arizona. It says: Here lies Jack Williams ‘He gave

his damnedest’. I think that’s the greatest

epitaph a man can have.”

Harry S. Truman 33rd President of the United States

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

We will be known for what we do

 

People will know you . . . . and remember you by what . . . . you do.

 

They will judge you by successfully meeting . . . . and exceed their expectations.

 

People don’t want talk . . . . they want you to do what you say you  . . . . you will do . . . . and for you to do it when we say you will do it. They don’t want excuses . . . . or a story . . . . they want results.

 

We will be known for what we do . . . . and they will never forget what you didn’t do.

 

Statistics show that approximately 80% of business is being done either by word of mouth referrals . . . . or based on past business relationships. You will either earn your future business by giving your damnedest . . . . and wowing your customers . . . . Or you lose the business with average service. 

 

We will be known for what we do . . . . and what you do will affect your career . . . . and future business success.

Yes Lou, we are judged by our actions, after all it is all that we leave behind.

Good morning Lou. I suppose that could be true, but I would much rather be known for being a good man, husband and father.

I think one of our greatest legacies is how we are remembered.  Those words, "We will be known for what we do," ring especially true!

Good morning Lou.  After my retirement in 2006 I still have officers whom I've trained when they were rookies come up to me with some fond memories.

What we say is much less important than what we do. I know people who say they will do things and I know they won't so I just roll my eyes and think, "yeah, sure". That's no way to operate

Good Morning Lou: In every transaction I take, I always try harder to put my best foot forward.

You are absolutely correct. People remember us for what we do and have done. And I hope that I get remembered for the good deeds and not for the mistakes I made.

But humans have the tendency to remember the latter most of the time.

Good Morning Lou, Actions speak louder than words is what I was always taught. I have had to back out of something I committed to due to health reasons and it seemed like people were in shock. It is astonishing how many people do not relies that word of mouth business is the biggest form of business. Wishing you a wonderful day!

Lou, I am afraid that most of us will depart this earth without notice, except by our close friends and family. So be it. I'm not here to be remembered, but to do a good deed or two while I'm here.

Think about the first time you got on Facebook and reconnected to business folks from the past. They remembered you most not for what you did at the time but for how you made them feel through the actions you took. Love the quote
