Why I Harass People I Like...And Why It Is Good For Business

Written by Alvin Apple


Running a successful business is all about detail and execution. You have to pay attention torepparttar small things. If you are messing up orders and slow on customer service, people start to notice. Sales dwindle. Do it all right and word gets around. Your sales grow fast.

People pay for quality, even if your price is higher than your competitors.

That is why I like to work with good people AND harass them. I'mrepparttar 124122 guy who makes surerepparttar 124123 details aren't forgotten. That makes for a very good product or service that flows smoothly and leaves customers wanting more.

By harassment I don't mean getting on your case in a bad way. We've all worked for people like that (and probably didn't enjoy it.) I try to make my harassing fun and interesting.

Step one. Make surerepparttar 124124 people around you--your employees, your downline, your affiliates--really trust you. They have to know that deep down you value them, like them, and want to help them succeed.

You can do this by personalizing what you tell them. Don't send a one-size-fits-all "to whom it may concern" memo. Send an email withrepparttar 124125 specific person's name atrepparttar 124126 top. Talk directly to their strengths, their weaknesses, and their particular situation.

Even better, pick uprepparttar 124127 phone or drop by for an in-person visit. It's always nice when you can put your business on auto pilot and go fishing, but your key people will get discouraged if they don't get a personal visit from you from time to time.

Step two. Let people know when they have done a good job. That has far more influence on them than just complaining about what they did wrong.
