Three Strategies to Help You Stand Apart From the Crowd [Blog]

StrategiesLast week I asked if you were showing up as a commodity; differentiating yourself from the competition. How’d you do with those questions? Have you begun to make some changes?

What if I told you I have three strategies you can implement now to help you stand apart from the crowd?

Show up on time

Example: I had an appointment one morning that depended on me being there. We were in the middle of a snowstorm. On a good day it would have been a 35-minute drive. I left an hour and 45 minutes early to make sure I wasn’t late. It took me about an hour. I was 45 minutes early. I got caught up on email and ready. No matter where I go, I always have something with me to do.

Follow-through

When you tell someone you are going to do something, follow-through and complete it.

Example: A while back…got a call from a sales rep. I won’t mention any company at this point. What he was selling was very interesting and would help my online business. At the end of the conversation, I told him I was interested and could he email me something and follow-up. “Sure.” Last week I received another call. No email. I checked junk mail. I checked everything because I was interested.
“Please send again.” To this day, I still have received nothing.

Say Thank You In Style

Send hand-written thank you notes. I know what you are thinking. I don’t have time. Email is faster. My handwriting is terrible. You don’t have time not to send handwritten thank you notes.

  • What would happen if you sent one thank you note a day Monday – Friday over the next 12 months? That would be 260.
  • Would that make you look remarkable?
  • Would that make you stand out?

In the 24/7 fast pace world that we live in…of course you would stand out.

Go the extra mile. Always do more than you get paid for.
