Let me set a stage for you. You go into a restaurant. As you walk in you notice the premises are messy, the tables are full of old dirty dishes and no one is there to seat you. Finally, you are seated by an employee who is ‘attitude challenged’ and wants the whole world to know about it. As you look at the menu you are shocked by the prices. Reluctantly, you order the overpriced food which takes forever to arrive at your table. The food is terrible. As you leave the restaurant, you find out from one of the locals that the restaurant changes owners faster than it changes employees. Now, you might be saying, “that’s where I eat!” Seriously, most of us would not go back to that restaurant unless it is the only restaurant in town. Many of us would not eat out at all!
Just think of the public relations image of this restaurant in the community. It doesn’t take long for the community to get their opinion out on a restaurant like that. Its public relations image will determine its destiny.
Here’s the principle. What takes place in the community eventually becomes known in the community. It doesn’t matter if it’s a business, church, school or a mayor. [continued at Blews.Network]
