"Service Beyond Self is Essential for Success Because It - Builds credibility, trust, and customer satisfaction. Strengthens your personal reputation and public image. Fosters goodwill and makes people feel appreciated. Helps you build healthy relationships with others. Nurtures collaboration, participation, and cooperation. Reaffirms a continuity of service for quality assurance, integrity, and reliability. Saves money-it costs less to keep existing customers than it does to create new ones. When you do it right the first time, you don't have to fix it the next time. Improves communication and builds rapport. Fosters mutual respect and understanding. By providing other people with what they want, you will get more of what you want!"
