In Escorts, we were selling tractors, plenty of them through our dealer's network all over India. We "learnt" from our collaborators, Ford Motor Co., that "Customer Is The Boss". Nothing new! But we were able to change the attitude of everyone involved in regard to how each team member looks at the customer-Banta & Banto-manufacturing to marketing and many activities in between. A typical turban of the Indian farmer represented our customer who may not have been well educated but very wise through experience of farming operations. Repetition is mother of learning and we really never lost an opportunity to convey this "survival message" to every one regularly. Do customize the idea to your product and organization and take your time.

There is no magic in what I am saying! This is the law of psychological reciprocity, that is, people do unto you as you do unto them first. If you give a competitor credit for his intelligence, then he is morally bound to give you credit for your intelligence. "Tit for Tat" in business must be avoided as it would create an environment which would not be good for business. Also your customers are very intelligent and they have their own opinions about your products and the products of your competitors.

Be proud of your organization and its products, you will convey confidence to your customers, an assurance to them that they are in the right hands. If you are not proud of your business, do something about it: * Find out the reasons you cannot be proud. Eliminate them one by one. * Or, find another job for your own progress in life.

We can learn from IBM. Every branch manager of IBM will always have a comprehensive file on each of his top 100 customers. These customers are termed as leadership accounts. Most of us keep this information in our heads. Reduce it to paper, review and call them up. Solve their problems and when you do that, these would become your opportunities. Please note that 100 is not a magic number! You can have 10 or 20 or 30, idea is to separate the "wheat from the chaff" and allocate your limited resources according to that.

Many of life's circumstances are created by three choices we make: the discipline you follow; the people you choose to be with; and the principles you choose to obey. Look at it in a simpler way which I do: life is like a taxi! The meter keeps on ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still! Before you go to sleep, reflect on today's activities and plan for tomorrow and if you can do little bit of self improvement everyday it would just be wonderful. Won't it be?

Self-audit yourself and reflect as to how many thank you notes and thank you calls you make daily. May I suggest you make a resolution today to start tomorrow and keep on doing for forty days-a magic figure-which will turn this into a good habit and will become part of your discipline. Don't wait for time or mood or better stationery, just do it now! I do.

During my professional career of forty plus years, I observed two types of managers-result-oriented and activities oriented. Result oriented managers were those who would plan ahead, give priority to each job to be done and then delegate many jobs and do a few jobs themselves. They are not too busy but would focus on following it up and helping where help is needed. Activities oriented are those who want to do everything themselves jumping like a monkey all day around and ending up by exhausting themselves as well making life difficult for the staff. Self-audit yourself now.
