Spring Forward with your WOW Factor! |
Janine Schindler

What
does it take in these
more challenging business
and economic times to
succeed?
According to Jeffrey Gitomer,
the author of The
Sales Bible, it’s
your WOW factor
- your ability to differentiate
yourself from the crowd,
and to make a positive impression
that is lasting and unforgettable.
Your WOW factor
may include your ability
to lead, handle multiple
tasks effectively, manage
efficiencies, mentor other,
make quick and timely decisions,
master difficult conversations
or getting folks to stand
up and take notice.
Today, think about what
your WOW factor
might be. What it is about
you that makes other people
go, ”WOW! Now
that is cool!”

Ten Ways for
Developing your WOW
Factor:
-
Are you punctual?
Points off for being
late or too early.
Plan ahead and apologize
when plans don’t
work out as you thought.
-
Are
you a team player?
Points off for competing
with team members and
criticizing the work
of others. Refer
business to others and
do all that you can
to lend a helping hand.
-
Are you open
to new ideas and forward
in your thinking?
Points off for quickly
rejecting the ideas
of others. Encourage
the ideas of others, and
come up with one new idea
every week. Be
bold, and be different!
-
Do you do what
you say you will?
Points off for empty
promises and not fulfilling
a commitment. Under-promise
and over-deliver. True
integrity is being 100%
to your word 100% of
the time!
-
Are you
willing to jump
in and help when
others are in a
jam?
Points off for not
letting other people
off the hook when
they are in a jam
or in crisis. When
a crisis hits, be
the first to jump
in with extra support,
humor, lightness,
and a positive attitude.
-
Are you responsible
for your workload?
Points off for pushing
your work onto others. Do
your work, and call
a colleague one time
a week to offer your
support for a project
that is short on time.
-
Do you maintain
a positive attitude,
even when time is scarce?
Points off for saying "I'm
too busy, that is someone
else's job, or I don't
want to do that." Adopt
the attitude of "How
can I help you? I
will be right on that
today!"
-
Are you responsible
for any and all mistakes
you make?
Points off for blaming
and finger pointing. Start
each day with the phrase: "I
am responsible for my
life and my choices,
and my responses."
-
Do you tell
the story exactly as
it is?
Points off for exaggeration
and leaving out key
information. Tell
it like it is...always!
-
Are
you devoted to continuing
education and competency
Points off for not
being willing to find
the answer when asked
a challenging question. Spend
15 minutes each day
reading something new
and exciting, and watch
as your WOW factor grows!
