One of the best things you can do for a business (outside of giving them your business) is leave them a positive review.
This is one of the—if not the—top criteria people who have never been to the business use to determine whether or not to come.
Only a small percentage of people will actually leave a review… but everybody, at the least, subconsciously reviews everything all the time.
And each of those reviews adds up to what society might say is the businesses success at doing business.
Think about how this might relate to you.
While we aren’t getting physically reviewed, per se, we’re always getting, at the very least, subconsciously reviewed.
And each of those reviews adds up to what society might say is the person’s ability to contribute.
And not just from a value add perspective (like running a business that adds more societal value than what it charges)—I mean from a character perspective.
Are you averaging a high score from all of the positive interactions you’re having with all of those whom you cross paths with throughout your day? Or are you averaging a low one?
The goal with this exercise isn’t to get you thinking that every interaction should be transactional and with the goal of eliciting a great review.
The goal should be to get you thinking about how you treat those who can’t do anything for you… the overwhelming number of people you cross paths with on a daily basis whom you don’t even consciously notice… the people who trigger and irritate you, etc…
…What would you say your overall average review score is?
