Are You Getting The Most Out Of Your Business Cards?
One of your easiest and still one of the best tools to promote your business is the good old business card. Are you taking full advantage of them, or are they simply sitting there on your desk collecting dust? If you are just carrying a few of them in your wallet or purse and hand them out when someone asks you for one, you are leaving a lot of new customers, sales and thus money on the table. Let’s t

“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Am I stupid?” excitedly requested Christopher, nearly out of breath from the long run into the kitchen. She knew he had been playing with neighborhood children under a mighty pine tree in the side yard.Saddened by the question and realizing he had just been tormented by the others, she tenderly gave him a hug and lovingly told him, “No, Christopher, you are not stupid.”p>

If you ever bother to take a second look with the good light turned on, you will have to admit that successful businesses are there helping us fulfill our needs and desires at every turn in ways we could never achieve without them. Are they being good and helpful, or are they evil and opportunistic?

Well here’s the low down. Are they in it for themselves? Absolutely! Are they also in it for you? Absolutely! Fundamentally successful businesses are started for two reasons.

1. To help themselves (selfish devils)
2. To help others (kind-hearted angels)

Is it possible they could do both? Yes, they can do both. In fact they need to do both to remain useful to themselves and to remain useful to others.

Think about your favourite store. It doesn’t matter if it’s on-line or in the mall downtown. It could be a stereo shop, your favourite eBay vendor, even a grocery store. What happens if they raise their prices so high, or hire such rude sales and support people that you and your friends stop going there? They start losing money and go out of business. You probably wouldn’t care, but they would no longer be able to help themselves, at least not with that business.

Now what happens if that same business hires lots and lots of really nice people to spend extra time with you, and then lower their prices so you get everything at near cost? They start losing money and go out of business. The only difference is this time you care, because now you can’t go back to that friendly store. Now you can’t return that item you didn’t want, or get it fixed under warranty. Because they didn’t help themselves enough, they can’t help you any more either.

So what do businesses do? Simple, they help themselves by helping you. Or they help you by helping you. It doesn’t really matter. In a rare twist of fate, evil companies with all their worst intentions are forced into doing good and helping others to stay alive.

The fact is, the business that figures out how to help others the most becomes the leader. It makes no difference whether the owner’s motivation is evi

The fact is, the business that figures out how to help others the most becomes the leader. It makes no difference whether the owner’s motivation is evil desire, or helping others. The only way to achieve long term success is to help others. There is no other reason for people to patronize a business, other than to get something they either need or want. If a business doesn’t help you get that as much as their competitor up the street then they go out of business. If a business helps you so much they can’t make a profit, they also go out of business and are not much help to you in the long run. Every successful business helps itself by helping others.

Who says the world is evil. Score one for the good guys.
