The Service Is Out Of This World"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ever had a friend rave about a newly found restaurant who said the service was literally the best he’s ever seen? The question hangin’ in the air of course, is — How was the food? Ever heard a friend reply, “Oh, the food? Average at best. But the service was so off the charts, we’re goin’ back every week.”<\/em> I’m bettin’ not. <\/p>\n

Let’s lay out a few examples of the above. <\/p>\n

Did attendance at Chargers games drop last season cuz they didn’t always wear their wildly popular throwback uniforms? OR, cuz they stopped winning?<\/p>\n

Would you rather have the rude, gruff, but world class doctor? OR, the dime a dozen physician who serves homemade cookies in the waiting room, and makes you feel really good about yourself?<\/p>\n

Is your best friend your best friend cuz they don’t tell ya the shirt you’re plannin’ to wear on that first date makes you look like a 1958 Sears appliance salesman? OR, cuz when you call them at 3 AM on a rainy Wednesday morning, they’re there in 10 minutes?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Chargers’ win\/loss record isn’t in any way connected to their uniform’s design.<\/p>\n

Your doctor’s manners are irrelevant to his ability\/inability to treat you.<\/p>\n

Your best friend pisses your wife off regularly, yet he’s still the guy you go to when it MATTERS.<\/p>\n

You’re in the real estate business. There’s only one thing you do that’s guaranteed, every time it’s tried, to put a smile on your client’s face. <\/p>\n

Produce the result you were hired to produce.<\/p>\n

Results speak more loudly than anything else you do, including your so-called world class service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who spend the bulk of their time and money enabling them to produce those results for more people, faster, are the smart kids in the room. <\/p>\n

Clients don’t pay us five figures for HappyTalk. They pay us for results. <\/p>\n

It’s pretty easy to discern who, and who does not get that in any given market.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

However, as Grandpa replied to me once, when, as a 12 year old I said painting pictures of landscapes\/seascapes was hard, “If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.”<\/p>\n
