I found it via Liz's page. This is a great lesson, and I'm posting this on my noticeboard.I shall remember it. I read once the saying that 'you can get anything you want, if you help enough people get what they want.' It's good to be a problem solver. I'll learn to be better at it. Thanks for the inspiration! stefania :) Bob, Thanks for this column blog. I found it via Liz’s page. This is a great lesson, and I’m posting this on my noticeboard.I shall remember it.

The next step, beyond solving problems, is to make your clients heroes! Remember, most airlines are fighting for their lives today. :) It really takes one very simple, yet difficult change in mindset. And it's this: If you want to grow your business and your brand, remember that it really doesn't matter what people think about you. What matters is this: How do you make them feel about themselves and their decisions in your presence? Keep up the great posts! Indeed, great post Bob!

Love this! You are so right, it is all about how we can help our clients solve their problems. Just goes to show that no matter what business you're in if you keep this in mind, you'll most likely find success. I too am linking this post on my blog. It's funny, I just blogged about what we voice people call ourselves, referring to what you, Bob,call yourself, "Storyteller." Now we can add the best name of all..."Problem Solver." Thanks!
