Professionalism Minus One
I was in the hospital for 5 days recently, and dozens of Doctors, Nurses, Lab Techs, and others helped me recover as comfortably as possible. I admired the professionalism of the hospital staff even though they were poking, prodding, and x-raying me around the clock. After returning home, my family asked me about my recovery. One person came to mind due to a lack of professionalism. With dozens of dedicated and competent healthcare providers, the one negative stood out. Why do we do that?

Our businesses face the same scrutiny every day. A customer comes into a store and meets several competent professionals. One person has a bad attitude, and that is the moment that stands out. A pleasant experience turns into a bad one just like that. It doesn't take much to change a customer experience. Every employee must be on the same page.

Is it fair to judge an entire business due to one person? Probably not, but we do it anyway. I decided that if asked about my hospitalization, I would focus on the majority of people who treated me so competently. We should probably do the same with businesses as well. Can we expect customers to be so open-minded?

Customers expect us to be professional, courteous, and competent. Staff must be trained to company standards and understand the value of every customer. When someone chooses to do business with us, we are responsible for the customer experience, good or bad.

What do you think? Would you be happy if most of your employees were professional but one was incompetent? I bet not. Imagine how our customers feel.
