Great Jobs
October 29, 2007
I came across a really great post by Seth Godin recently. It talked about how a receptionist can be great, it’s a must read for everyone to understand what a great organisation really means.
It set me thinking about what a great difference we could all make if everyone in the organisation thought of themselves as Vice President, (insert your designation here). If each one of us were to be innovative and took the liberty to make our jobs have a bigger impact on our organisation, maybe it will be harder for your colleagues to come in the way.
Particularly in advertising, we are better placed than most people out there to realise the importance of our jobs as a marketing tool, not only to the clients. But more importantly in marketing ourselves to the agency. The secret to it lies in the same thing that defines being great – Passion. If you are passionate about what you do, greatness has no choice but to follow. The only reason I have written this here is so that we all do something about our jobs apart from whining.

Absolutely. So many companies fail to realise that the receptionist (like sales people and waiters) are the first people your customers meet. They are the first impression that makes a huge difference on what you do with that company in the future.
