You Have to Start . . . . To Have a Beginning

“A great thing is the start to see an opportunity for service, and

to start doing it, even though in the beginning you serve but

a single customer – and him for nothing.”

John Collier 1884 – 1968, Native American Advaocte

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

You have to start . . . . to have a beginning

 

Every great enterprise has a beginning . . . . and every opportunity starts with the first step in pursuing it with a purpose.

 

Exceptional customer service has its beginning . . . . in your philosophy to provide it.

 

Many businesses and professional talk about providing their customer with exceptional customer service . . . . but very few deliver on the promise . . . . They wait for just the right time to start. Some will say they’re waiting for their business to grow in order to offer it. As others think about it . . . . and the thoughts fade away without ever beginning to offer it.

 

Exceptional customer service is the foundation . . . . to any successful business model. It starts with the first customer . . . . and with each succeeding customer the business comes into contact with.

 

With existing businesses it starts with the next customer . . . . With that next customer . . . . it becomes a new beginning for the business.

 

When your goal is exceptional customer service . . . . You have to start . . . . to have a beginning to create and deliver the customer service . . . . that will make your business standout in a competitive marketplace.

Just like waiting for that "right" opportunity to catch us at a convenient time.... waiting to create activity because you want to understand the world, first, so you do not look foolish or make a mistake.  It's not HOW you start, it's how you finish.  Start now... the learning will follow, and so will the success.

I have this thing that I want to wow my customers that they will tell other people about me.  It starts with that first client.

Lou, I like your post. It has its own value, but it also helped me with two words that have special value to me this morning. I have scheduled a difficut task for me today. Procrastination is staring me in the face; however, 'to START, I must BEGIN....There is a 'beginning' point. Thanks! I will let you know tomorrow if the two 5 letter words pushed through the procrastination barrier :) I wish you a really nice day, Lou.

I had my service standard set from the start and even the first client got the best service. The best time to start on anything you want to accomplish is now.

My grandad used to say the only place you start at the top is digging a hole.  Thanks for the post, Lou.

Hi Lou, initial step is difficult, once it is started it will become easier...if we go above and beyond service,  more business will follow.
