It’s Friday and it has been quite a hectic one here at HQ but I have taken a little bit of time out this morning to reflect on all the events I have dealt with personally and that I have supported clients through dealing with and there is a theme, professionalism, or rather lack of!
I have watched clients be on the receiving end, my amazing PA get the brunt of it as well as myself.
In the fast-paced world of business, no matter what you do, what size your business is, there’s one element that stands as the bedrock of all successful relationships: professionalism. 💼
In a realm where first impressions can pave the way for lasting partnerships, professionalism isn’t just a virtue; it’s the key to unlocking opportunities and nurturing trust but what I am seeing a lot of right now, is people thinking that once they have got their ‘foot in the door’, your signature on a contract, that hand shake done, that you are no longer a priority, that the level of service and professionalism can drop, wrong!
I often speak about the similarities between dating and being in business. Tony Robbins himself states that if you want your relationship to be good, if you don’t want it to end, then treat your partner how you did in the beginning. Then there is no end! I completely agree but this is also true o of your business relationships🤝
✨ It’s about maintaining trust. When you level of ‘care’ drops, so does your clients trust in your ability to deliver. Trust is currency and it is this trust that allows clients, colleagues, and partners to feel confident in our abilities and character.
🤗 Respect: Treating others with professionalism generates respect not only for us but for the entire business community. As a Coach the coaching industry is plagued by rogue behaviour, I’m sure your industry is too.
🌐 Expanding Networks: If your clients are no longer finding you behave in a professional, respectful manner, then simply out they aren’t going to be recommending you, are they! I know that I have made a decision to not recommend 3 people I am associated with in various forms because of what I am seeing and being on the receiving end of this week. That’s a huge number of opportunities they have just lost.
🌟 Setting the Standard: When you choose your behaviour, you are choosing how you represent not just you but your brand, your company. You will attract others that operate at the same level, the same energy. Think about that!
🤗 Creating Lasting Impact: Professionalism extends beyond the office. It permeates our communities and has the power to create a lasting positive impact. When we engage with our communities professionally, we contribute to their growth and well-being.
Professionalism is a choice we make every day, in every interaction. Let us choose wisely, for it is this choice that can make all the difference in our journey to success. 🚀
