When you’re in a relationship, any relationship…whether it’s with a friend, a partner, a customer…what’s one of the things that you treasure most?
For most of us I’m guessing it’s trust.
You want to know that you can rely on the other person; that when they say that they’re going to do something, they do it; that they aren’t moody-you always know where you stand with them. In other words, that they’re consistent.
Consistency is a powerful relationship builder for a business. You only have to look as far as McDonald’s to see that.
Your customers love it because they know what to expect from you…that any surprises are only going to be the nice kind. They know that they’re going to get the same service no matter who they deal with or what time of day it is. They know where they stand with you and that they can rely on you.
Your team love it because they know what’s expected of them. They feel ownership because they understand what they’re doing, and are left to get on with it. They feel a responsibility to deliver for you and your customers.
And you love it, because it makes your life easier. It frees up your time. It allows you to grow your business…or develop it as a franchise…maybe run it from the beach.
A consistent business built around simple, logical systems, gives you freedom to do whatever rocks your boat.
Being a constant, dependable presence builds relationships in all areas of your life.
How consistent are you?
