The Foundation

I have always said that I look for one basic ingredient in an employee, the foundation from which I can help train and grow.... and that is that a person cares about other people.
Truly cares and respects others.

Because you can teach the rest but I can not rewrite somebody's foundation or soul.

If you care about others you will take the time to listen and follow up and you will want to help them.
If you have that ingredient , that foundation, people will feel it and help you along and give you the time to learn. And even help you along the way.

If you are selfish, that will come through too.
Those are the people that no one wants to help so you are left trying to fend for yourself.
And I do not care what business you are in , you need alliances.

Especially in the moving business.

The moving business is nothing but people helping people.
People trusting others.
From the person who gives an estimate to a customer, to the packers that show up and the labor that you have help you. To the employees at the home office as well as the agents across the country.

It is people helping people.

When one of those spokes in the wheel are missing or did not do their job, others have to pick up the slack and that makes the job more difficult.

You need to care.

Care about those that you are doing business with and all those that you have contact with every day.

If you try to fake it, it will come out sooner or later.
