"Sit up straight", "give a firm handshake", "look before you leap". These are all examples of adages that could fall under the heading "good advice". Yet as time has gone by, statements like these have become cliched to the point where people forget why they were created in the first place. This leads to either rejection of the advice, or blind rule following - neither are ideal. Here at Bay Area Installations, we have a unique perspective on the whitherto's and whyfores of when advice is good advice, and why it should be followed.
A poet once likened advice to a form of nostalgia - a way of taking the dirty bits of the past, cleaning them up, and finding a new purpose for them. We agree. We think that the best advice is based on past experience, and that people would to well to listen to it. But here's the catch - it isn't about blind rule following, it's about a culture. At Bay Area Installations, we have a culture of doing things right and good. We have a culture of taking pride in what we do and in putting our best foot forward. So when we follow good advice - specifically, when we follow the tried and true protocols that we have put into place over thirty years of experience - we're just letting our culture thrive that much more.
And like good advice, good culture sticks around. That's why you'll find the same highmark of customer service, diligence, and quality with our partners at Cubiclesales.com.
We all learn by doing. Here at Bay Area Installations, we have learned many better ways of doing things over the years. "Call the customer before you arrive" - just token good advice? Perhaps, but it also works.
