The Sellers Creed

I will not make sales. I will make Customers.

I will target the heart of my Customer. Never their wallet.

My Customer is the lifeblood of my business.

Though I may sell my Customers what they want,I will deliver what they need and make their lives better.

Courtesy and Service are cornerstones of my relationship withmy Customer.

I will view complaints as opportunities . . . opportunities tocreate lifelong Customers.

The quality of my products and how I treat my Customers willdetermine the level of My Success.

My prosperity will come from 'growing' people.

My best advertisement is my product, and, the Customer servicebehind it.

Making money without making friends is not good business.

I will guide my business with the perfect blend of heart andmind.

I will make Integrity my trademark. After all, isn't integrityall I have and all I will be remembered for?

I will compete only against myself as the only truemeasurement is against myself.

It is fine to fail. In fact, it is most often a requirement ofsuccess.

My reputation is everything - my ego, nothing.

Every pittance I earn unjustly is a debt of fortune I mustrepay.

No matter the fame or fortune that may follow me,My values, My family and My friends must remain at the verycore of my being.

Better I be trusted and respected, than be materially rich.

Better I be a dolphin swimming with sharks, than a shark.
