What’s the Best Business Growth Strategy? Scare or care?

Care and They Will Come

Care Is a Competitive Edge

In a world where it can feel like nobody cares and everybody is trying to make us scared, standout and choose to care.

I just received a voice mail from my Bank that scared me…

 

Message:

“I was reviewing your account and found multiple things we need to address. Please give me a call at 555-555-5555.”

 

Reaction:

I called immediately. Fraudulent activity? Something out of order? A hack?

 

Reality:

The Account Manager wanted me to switch Payroll and Credit Cards.

 

Result:

  • I resented being scared into a sales call.
  • I did appreciate the outreach, care.

 

Questions:

  • Can businesses care without the scare?
    Yes.  I’ve experienced it.
  • Is it worth the extra effort?
    Yes.  Resentment erodes trust and willingness to buy.

 

Recommendation:

Care and they will come.

  • Care about customers.
  • Care about employees.
  • Care about their success.
  • Care about our planet.

 

Caring is the best business growth strategy.
