In looking at goal setting with one of my clients recently , the subject of values came up for his business & what he wanted his business to represent & look like in the future.
Our discussion led to developing partnerships with companies, people who have a similar view to quality, how they sell themselves , how they treat their customers. Should you compromise yourself & your product/service to get it to market as quickly as possible or to get that extra margin?. What are your values as a salesperson, manager, company owner? How do you like to do business? Will having a clear defined set of values reap you business in the future? Here is an article from an entrepreneur who has something to say on this subject.
