Don't Just Be Good, Be Memorable!

This week we share an exceptional message from Mark Sanborn. In our business life or personal, Mark's message helps remind us of how important every touch point really is.

Recall the phrase “out of sight, out of mind?” What do people remember about you after a sales presentation, customer service experience or other interaction?

Your goal should always be to remain in people’s minds—to leave them always wanting more of whatever job you do, or whatever product or service you provide. What makes you better than those who also do what you do? What makes your performance memorable and remarkable?

Consider: can you give 2-3 substantive reasons why someone should hire you, or follow you, or give you a promotion? If you can’t, you probably don’t pass the test for memorable or remarkable.

Let’s say your boss is having lunch with a colleague today and your name comes up—what does he or she say about you? Adjectives like “nice,” “capable” and “pleasant” are certainly positive, but you should aim for more. Consistently great performance conjures up words like “fantastic,” “exceptional” and “extraordinary.”

If you decide to take another job one day, it would be reaffirming to hear your boss say, “What can we do to keep you here?” and not, “Bon Voyage!” To develop this kind of reputation—remember it doesn’t happen automatically—aim to always do a good job but know when a remarkable performance is called for.

If you want to gain a really remarkable reputation, stay on your toes. Like a professional athlete or a famous rock star, you are only as good as your last game or your last hit. Your fans (or, in most everyday cases, your coworkers or clients) won’t love you unconditionally: they will continue to judge you based on your work and the results and benefits they enjoy from it.

It can be difficult to have an objective view of your own performance. It is easy to assume that you are doing a good or even great job and be content with that illusion. To avoid a rude awakening at a performance review, you need to maintain a clear view on how strong—or weak—your performance actually is.

The best way to do this is to actively seek ongoing feedback. Listen impartially, without defending yourself, and your ‘audience’ (boss, coworker, etc.) will offer insights you can use to improve. If you really want to know, ask this simple question, “What could I do to make my performance remarkable?”

Even if this feedback isn’t the pat on the back you’d hoped for; it will be something valuable—clear direction on how you can become a better performer.

The goal in whatever important work you do isn’t to be good; the goal is to be memorable..

If your business needs help being memorable, give us a call. We're here to help!

Have a great week unless you choose otherwise.

Drago

Testimonial Of The Week -  I  just received my first edition of your Monday Morning Motivator and I am quite impressed. So much so that I immediately subscribed. Your newsletter struck a nerve with me because the article titled “There are no secrets to Success” resonated with me in that all the daily steps the author talked about are steps that I usually take in my daily routine. I completely loved it, so much so that I am going to forward this incredible tool to all 75 agents in my office.
A big Thank You to you!”

Success Profile

This week's success profile is Melanie Alsager and the staff at Sunshine Coast Health Center.

Sunshine Coast Health Center officially opened on the 15th of March, 2004, as a 16-bed drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility designed exclusively for men. Original ownership saw the need for privately-funded addiction rehabilitation and had the land, buildings and experience in residential group care to make it possible. The first two years were difficult but, over time, referring health professionals and the general public took notice of the benefits of an intimate, male-only facility that offered an extended stay (longer than 28 days) in an exceptional setting.

Today SCHC is a leader in the industry with their Non 12 Step Approach.
