How do you get on the Map?

By being unique, credible, worthwhile, and nice…

Unique is not different – it is standing out.  Different is just a nice way of saying, “weird”.  Unique is captivating not just attention getting.  Sometimes “weird” catches people’s interest – but uniqueness keeps it.

Credible means trust.  It is when expectations are met or exceeded.  Your uniqueness better be credible or there will be no repeats.

Worthwhile means value.  If what you have adds value to someone then you are on their map.  If you aren’t worthwhile then you aren’t on the map.  Here’s the twist – the more valuable the other person feels the more “worthwhile” you are.

Nice is more than friendly – it’s caring.  When you really care then you get on the map.

Are you, is your organization, your product, your business “on the map”?
