Let go of the old, focus on future
Always tell the truth, bad news sooner than later
Highest level of ethics, when in doubt ask
Learn to be a good business person, not just a great sales person
Everybody sweeps the floor
Be professional in your style, speech, and follow through
Listen to your customer, they almost always “get it”
Create “win-win” relationships with our customers
Look out for each other, sharing information is a good thing
Don’t take yourself too seriously
