Performance Chaser or Business Builder?

Written by Patty Gale


Continued from page 1

I've worked for "performance chasers" and I've worked for business builders. The performance chaser could have had an incredible business, but because of his lack of long-term vision for his clients, his customers were like a revolving door. Too bad, too, because they were very high-net worth people.

The business builder created and nurtured solid relationships overrepparttar years and had only his customers needs at heart first and foremost. His integrity, sincerity, honesty is truly genuine. In times of stock-market ups and downs, he never lost a client. He never chased performance.

I choose to model my company fromrepparttar 100303 latter. I would rather be here 5, 10, 15 years from now knowing that I tookrepparttar 100304 time to build my business based on trust, integrity and honesty. My customers know that I place their needs first before profit and therefore, they remain loyal to me as I remain loyal to them.

How about you? Are you a performance-chaser or business builder?
