Most People Don't
August 21, 2008
Most people don't pick up the phone anymore to call a client back; they simply hit "reply".
Most people don't send handwritten notes anymore; they simply hit "send".
Most people don't compliment each other; they assume the other person knows.
Most people don't say "please" and "thank you;" they take things for granted.
Most people don't take time to celebrate together; they are inward focused.
Go the extra mile to be different, unique, and special. If most people "don't" and you "do," you will automatically stand out and stand above the others.
I saw this sign on my travels and was impressed by the person that "did" and went the extra mile (or extra mile per hour in this case) to make a difference and to be unique.
You should try the same whether you are pursuing a new job, a great piece of business, or the love of your life. Go be a person that "does"!

Dear Bert Berkley, Greatly appreciate it is drops that make an ocean. Detail and concern are the key to our business. Just in case you missed "Most people do not respond back."
