You Can . . . . Always Try

You Can . . . . Always Try

“Never say no when a client ask for something, ever

if it’s the moon, you can always try, and anyhow

there is plenty of time afterward to explain

that it was not possible.”

Ceasar Ritz 1850 - 1918, Swiss Hotelier,

Founder of the Ritz Hotel in Paris  

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

You can . . . . always try

 

You will be asked to do many things for you customers . . . . You can always try . . . . and you can always do your best.

 

There will be times that customers ask you to do the impossible . . . . How you handle their request will make all the difference in the business relationship . . . . and the outcome of the request. 

 

You can tell your customers that’s its not possible . . . . and walk away from the request. Or you can tell your customers that what they’re asking for is considered impossible . . . . Then tell them that you will do your best to do it for them.

 

When winners are asked to do the impossible . . . . they will find a way to do it.

 

When a customer asks for the impossible . . . . You have to look at the request with a positive attitude . . . . and talk to the customer about finding the expectable outcome.

 

When it’s impossible you can . . . . always try . . . . and you will amaze yourself on what your capable of doing when you push forward with a positive attitude.

I don't mind trying for the impossible as long as the request is ethical and legal.

Even if you know that what your client wants they are not going to get, you still need to go through the motions.

This is one area where I have some difficulty, Lou.  There are some requests that are just a waste of time, so I do need to let them know that.
