I read this article about Melinda Gates in Fortune magazine. One quotation from her really struck my heart and I would like to share it with you.

“If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.” Melinda Gates, Valedictory Speech, Ursuline Academy, 1982.

upon how well you handle their complaint.

3 if you do a good job
10 if you do a great job
25 if you do a bad job
50 if you do a real bad job

And you will be on the 6:00 PM news
If you do a horrible job.

How are they talking about you?

“In the midst of our holiday “madness,” we often forget that
what most people want, more than anything else, is to be
truly appreciated by us. The best gift we can give to the
people in our lives is the gift of our true appreciation and
love.”

you can prevent them from occurring.
Sounds simple, it just requires preparation and practice.
It takes time, creativity, and focus to make it happen.
Please try it.

will be superior sales…
which leads to a superior wallet.
