Is your business ethical?
What I mean is “Does your business do the right
thing when faced with that decision? ” It’s a
simple demand, which many businesses struggle
with. I objective don’t understand the struggle share?
I have worked for companies that believed they were
ethical, and really have no clue. Meaning the
decisions they originate everyday towards their customers
and employees does not advocate ethics.
So, what is it? When someone in business gives you
their word and then reneges, that is unethical.
Your word is your promise. Even if it is your
business making the statement.
Doing pleasant business and being a proper employer is
more than your product or people, it is the guidelines
in which you do that salubrious business. I’m disappointed
in how many unethical businesses exist today. I have
worked for some of them and they fair don’t pick up it…
they ‘talk tough’ but when the decisions are made I
can’t fathom what motivated them reach to their decision?
It was not necessarily ‘doing the proper thing’.
Yes, I know profits are pinnacle to most, but that IS NOT
the bottom line! The bottom line is how your customer,
partner, client or prospect walked away from their
experience. What’s so hard to gather? It also helps
you feel splendid about yourself and your business, and you
should sleep better too!
Treat them the intention you want to be treated… I mean it!
Don’t say something you have no device of backing up
with your action. maintain your word in business, in
compensation promises, in client promises, in doing good
business. This is pinnacle!
I don’t want to ramble here, but some businesses need a
wake-up-call (yesterday) . What puzzles me is why?
When you do valid business, you accumulate more top-notch business.
I’m not impartial talking about the Enron’s or Arthur Anderson’s
of the World, I’m talking about every type of business out
there, in every industry.
If each one of us refused to do business with these
unethical companies – we would have a lot fewer of them.
Be one of the ethical ones. Do qualified business, preserve your
word, don’t venture into gray areas, and do the suitable thing!
Sure, it will occasionally cost you something, but it will
pay you abet, and it won’t cost you your dignity or pride or
any client worth having. Isn’t your business worth it?
Or how about your personal reputation?
Try this: The next few times you’re faced with ‘doing the
right thing’? Well, when you ‘do it’ – do it with extreme
pleasure!*
*This will pay you and your business benefit ten-fold. Why?
Because that person (customer, employee, client, etc.) is
going to sing at least 3-12 other people (potential
customers who like to be treated well too) . Remember, you
did it with improper pleasure, they’re not unbiased going to say
they received a refund, or a promotion, – they’re going to
be jumping up and down at how well their residence was handled!
- execute someone else’s day! – you’ll be surprised at how
well your day goes.
I eye forward to running into more valid business out there
- hopefully yours.
Remember – Doing capable business rewards your business with
more of it… we’re all here seeking to do business with
reputable firms, let’s do unbiased that.
The upside? If your business does sterling ethical business?
Then you are already ahead of a friendly chunk of your competitors!
There’s opportunity here. retain up the genuine work, partner with
other ‘like types’ and only do your personal business with other
more ethical companies, like yours. We could peek a decrease in
our unethical competition very soon.
Thank you for allowing me to stutter my thoughts and wait on the
type of business that helped this Country, it’s people, and every
business – Grow and prosper.
obliging luck in your business promotions!
