“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”
– Colin Powell
Hi Everyone,
I want to thank everyone who submitted ideas for the T-Shirt contest. The winner has been selected and is now at the t-shirt print shop… super exciting! It was a tough one, thanks for all the cool ideas! I wish I could pick more than one!
Now let’s talk about the Tahzoo business case submission. So far, we only have one entry… I know everyone is super busy, but we can’t be so busy that we don’t have time to improve the company. Like I always say, “you can’t be too busy drowning that you don’t have time to grab the life preserver”. I know that each of you can think of a few things to improve the company. Review the priorities that I articulated last week and build a business case to make a difference.
In case you’ve missed it, I’m giving the winner $1,000 cash money. As Gabi likes to say… “C.R.E.A.M. cash rules everything around me!”.
So now, a little about excellence; I tried a new restaurant a couple of days ago. It’s a new spot in DC, it was buzzing and looked fun. It made me think about our business and the anticipation that our clients have when they begin working with us.
Imagine you walk into a busy restaurant where everyone is having a good time and is enjoying their dinner. Your anticipation is peaked, you’re excited about this fantastic meal and you imagine the spirited conversation and fun at the table. That is the feeling our customers have when they start an engagement with Tahzoo. They are excited, their expectations are high, and they are looking forward to solving problems that they’ve been struggling with for some time.
We need to be disciplined and focused as we serve our clients. When it’s busy like this it’s easy to get distracted, tired, and push off things that matter, but you can’t! Our clients are looking forward to a great experience working with each and every one of you. You matter, your attitude matters, your attention to details matter, and most importantly your client’s experience matters. We are in the long-term client relationship business; we’re hired to solve hard problems and that is super exciting.
Our clients are looking for a perfect experience. Everything needs to be perfect, not just good, but perfect. In the list of priorities that I outlined last week, the second was the quality of our work. We need a peer review process and a level of consistency that rivals a Michelin Star Restaurant service. We are a premium brand with the client’s expectations to match.
We will discuss this in more detail at the company meeting in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to spending time with all of you!
Let’s go be great!
Brad
