And, I couldn\u2019t get its relevance out of my head.<br \/>\nYou\u2019re familiar with this iconic ocean liner\u2019s story. Knowing the fate, do you think you\u2019d get on it? Probably not.<br \/>\nBut what about the notoriety of being a part of a maiden voyage? Or experiencing luxury accommodations unlike anything else on the market?<br \/>\n<em>It\u2019s still a sinking ship.<\/em><br \/>\nExperience shapes decision. It really doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s the firsthand knowledge kind or outsider input.<br \/>\nYou, your customers, and your employees all have this in common. You make choices toward a positive outcome \u2013 and try your best to steer clear of anything else. And if you aren\u2019t looking ahead (or around), it\u2019s pretty hard to avoid the bad altogether.<br \/>\nThink with me for a minute:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Frustrated with a vendor not supporting you in the ways you\u2019d like? How often and in what ways are you communicating? <strong>No one wants to be in a one-way partnership.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>One of your best techs quit and you\u2019re having trouble filling the void? When was the last time you had one-on-one reviews with the rest of your team? <strong>No one wants to refer their hardworking friends if they themselves are unhappy.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Scheduled a meeting or company outing and not everyone attended? Did you ask for opinions or help beforehand?\u00a0 <strong>No one wants to participate in\u00a0a culture that doesn\u2019t align.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Lost a new customer that Google sent to the competitor next door? Have you checked your online reviews and rankings lately? <strong>No one wants to buy from a business they can\u2019t easily find or learn about.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>No one wants to get on the Titanic because you know how it ends. Even for the most imperfect of companies, though, I argue that it\u2019s not over. Your business\u2019 biggest challenge doesn\u2019t define its future \u2013 unless you allow it to take you down.<br \/>\n<em>photo credit: \u00a9\u00a0rdnzl\/Dollar Photo Club<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-2479\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/AVA_JenniferP.jpg\" alt=\"AVA_JenniferP\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>You&#8217;re familiar with the Titanic&#8217;s story, but as our Director of Customer Experience shares this week, it can be looked at as far more than a lesson about a sinking ship.
