What’s Your ROR (Return on Relationships)?

To create an organization with a culture that’s steeped in relational competence—that is committed to deep, meaningful relationships—you need to start with each individual within the organization. These types of relationships and customer service will change you and your life for the better. They’ll change your career. And they’ll change the organization you work for. And by doing that, they can—and will—change the world.

We were heading to the airport in a heavy snowstorm, but that didn’t matter because sunny Mexico awaited! A weeklong pre-Christmas vacation at a friend’s home in Cabo San Lucas—what could be better?

Judging customers can turn off big spenders

Years ago, a colleague of mine sold stereo equipment at a regional electronics store outside of Tacoma, Wash. One night, the staff was preparing to lock things up when a scruffy-looking young man entered. He was dressed much more casually than the typical customer: torn jeans, a soiled sweatshirt and a ratty ball cap. He sauntered through the stereo department with his hands deep in his pockets, glancing at products seemingly beyond his economic status...

Just as you can't judge a book by its cover, you shouldn't judge customers by the way they dress, speak or act.
