paid bills, strained relationships, overtime hours, late shipments, missed deadlines, and delayed orders seem to be the norm in business today.

As I sat at lunch with the young insurance executive, he raised a question. He had an exclusive contract with an insurance company to sell only their products, but his agents wanted to sell a competitive product as well. My friend wanted to know if it would be morally right to do this through another company in which he had a vested interest. I reminded him that he had made a covenant, a promise. His word or reputation as the most valuable possession he had. Short-term gain would lead to long-term broken promises and pain if he pursued this course. I asked him to consider the intent of the contract, not just the letter of the law.

Business is about relationships and relationships are built on long-term commitments and established trust. Most of us violate promises every day on the job. We commit to be at a meeting, or to get a report completed by a certain time, or to deliver a new product, or to ship by a certain date, or to pay within terms. Most inefficiency in business is caused by broken promises and lack of meeting deadlines. For example, the customers may not give a shipping order when promised. The custom goods sit on the dock awaiting shipment. Everyone makes little promises that are not kept. They meant to give the purchase order, or ship the part on time, or make the service call promptly, but intention was not fulfilled. What would happen if we did not “over promise” to get the business or “under deliver” after we got the job or the order?

What Makes Corporate Gifts An Investment?
Imagine starting your own business. What happens when you find out that you are in the red or close to it at the end of the fiscal year? You do what most business owners do—check your books and find ways to cut corners. Now, the tricky part to cutting corners is to make sure you do not downsize or eliminate something that will turn profits for your company in the future. In examining your books, you notice that advertising was a large expense for your company. You also notice that the employee appreciation celebration made a large imposition on your budget, as well.

Bill is the CEO of a manufacturing firm that produces certain products. His firm is just now starting to recover from three years of recession in capital expenditures by their industry. A key customer is constantly pressuring for rapid fulfillment but seldom delivers the purchase order on time. Bill must encourage his customers to keep their commitments or his firm is not efficient and not profitable.

Joe runs a distribution firm in which their exclusive supplier is constantly raising prices due to lack of communication, poor marketing research, and little long term planning. Due to these poor business operational practices by his key supplier, Joe cannot keep his customers accurately informed. These broken promises lead to millions of dollars of lost profits for Joe, his supplier, and his customer. In each of these cases, Bill and Joe need to show their customers and suppliers that when business partners keep their promises, the results are trusting relationships, smooth running operations, and long-term profits.

In a day in which these types of situations are expected, we as believers in business must be the exception. First of all, we should not make rash promises to get the account or the order. We must instruct our sales team to under promise, not over promise. They should over deliver, not under deliver. God takes promises very seriously.

Quality logos are the foundation of marketing and promotional techniques for business.
