  I believe that the most important aspect of a person’s work product is customer service. Anyone that receives or works with what I do is my customer. Imagine your day if everyone you interact with had this customer service as their primary core belief. I’m sure your company has employees you wish you had more of. These are the ones that always get the job done and perform in high stress situations. Their goal is to contribute to the overall success of their company, by performing their role, adjusting to changing priorities and new challenges. I am one of those employees.
