Adding Value

Some of us struggle
with whether or not
our jobs
add value to the world.

If the product or service
you help sell
(and by working for the company,
you’re helping to sell that product)
is repurchased by customers,
it absolutely adds value to them
and to their world.

People aren’t dumb.
You may fool them once
with a useless product
but you won’t fool them twice.

If it is a one time purchase product
and your company
has been around for a while,
then it also adds value.
Folks talk.
If your product doesn’t add value,
they’ll eventually know.

Is the product/service adding the value
you want it to add?
That’s your personal call.
Is it adding value
to the people you want to help?
Again, your call.

But the product/service IS
adding value.
