II. Assessing Your Agency’s Perceptions and Image
Enhancing Clients’/Customers’ Lives You need to walk in your client’s customer’s, associate’s and influencer’s shoes to understand how your brand measures up in their minds.
Partners or Placeholders? Associate passion and partnership are essential in delivering a Promise! Employees disengage because they don’t buy into the organization’s priorities; they became dissatisfied and unproductive!
Are you one organization with one promise? Or Many organizations with many promises?
Promises…Promises When you think of a Promise, who comes to mind?
Everyone is a Brand! “Every human being is a brand, the way you socialize, who you know, what you say.” -Jerry Seinfeld
It’s up to YOU! “Basically you’re it, you are the whole thing. You are personally responsible for your own experience of the world.” John Yokoyama, owner of Pike Place Fish in Seattle’s Pike Place Market

People Deliver Promises “We’re looking for people who take the business seriously, but not themselves. A sense of humor is a must. And we look for people who were raised on values like the golden rule….we’re a very forgiving company in terms of good honest mistakes, but we’re not at all forgiving about attitude and behavior and demeanor.” -Colleen Barrett, President
“How you make people feel ultimately determines your success”!

The Trust Factor “You gain a huge advantage when people know your word is as good as gold. In today’s world, there seem to be fewer and fewer promises we can fully count on. And people really appreciate it when yours is one of them. You lose some tactical flexibility by keeping your word – but you earn a dividend as well.”─Tony Simons
