Word is Bond

There was a time in life when a person's word was as good as their signature. When people were held accountable by what they committed to. Whether it is returning a phone call, following up on an appointment, or placing an order, if you said it you would do it.

I try to make a conscience effort to keep my word. I remember my teenage years where we had a saying "Word is bond", when you were committing to something. If a person told you that, you had their word that they were going to keep their promise or was telling you the truth.

In your direct sales business you have to strive to keep our word. You have to keep your word to your customers, your business partners, and to your sponsor or coach. If you are supposed to return a call or show up for a meeting on time, then you need to keep your word. People do business with people they like and respect. You can not afford NOT the keep your word.

I challenge you to make your "Word is Bond". When you implement this mantra in your business I believe you will see that people will begin to keep their word to you. Like attracts like. (that's my word)
