What they think will sink or save you

The author Phil Cooke says, “We live in a visual culture. In a visual culture, perception is king.” He’s absolutely right. What folks think the moment they see your brochure at a conference or the nano second they look at your logo and the instant they shake your hand, is the reality.
I makes no difference what you think you look like? THe reason is because your not doing business with you. You’re already sold on how great you are or how great your organization is.

The challenge is to step outside yourself and to view your organization through the eyes of a total stranger to who you are and what you do.

The brings me to the absolute necessity of using a professional designer to create the materials that potential clients/customers/members see. It’s their view of you that will make or break your organization.

What is communicated when a conference attendee stops at your booth and picks up a brochure. That brochure has mere moments to make a favorable impression, and that impression lasts forever in the mind of that person. Is that impression a good one?

It needs to be. Whatever they think, good or bad, is what they will post on Facebook, what they'll tweet to their followers and what they’ll their friends.

To be a world class organization you must do as they do. World-class organizations trust the handling of their perception to qualified, substantiated and professional graphic designers. They pay professionals to look professional because they want to be know as professional.

So, is your organization world-class?

Success Metric

My wife teaches piano to buy our groceries and fund our sons ESA (Educational Savings Account). Each student gets one lesson per week, four per month. She told me last night that the things that suck the life out of her and suck the fun out of what she does are students that don’t want to be there and parents that don’t care either. I asked her how many lessons it takes for her to know that a student is not serious about learning to love the piano the way she does. She said, “I can tell after 3 lessons.” The students progress is proof that they are internally motivated to learn what she teaches them. It is also proof that there is a support person (usually a parent) that creates a supportive environment around them that is conducive to practicing, learning, and progressing. I had an idea for her business. All current students and new students will undergo a one month (four lesson) assessment period during which Kacey will decided whether or not to keep the prospective student on. Qu...
