Even though I have tried my best to avoid them, the Charlie Sheen stories in the news lately are getting funnier and funnier. Who are the shredding rock stars? Well, here are some common characteristics: • They are a person of value. • They give a speech every chance they get. • They write articles all the time. • They conduct lunch and learns. • They give referrals constantly without keeping score. • Their message is not a sales message—it applies to 100 percent of their market. • They help with required training of their clients’ employees. (See the available National Association for Information Destruction video.) • They help write clients’ required information protection policies. • They help their clients profit more. • They take headaches and hassles away from their clients. • Most rock stars have several “adoring fans” or “groupies,” otherwise known as loyal clients. We can say we are rock stars all day long (as Charlie Sheen does), but unless we have several testimonials from our clients stating that fact, they are just empty words. Find out today how you are perceived by your clients and get rocking! Ray Barry is vice president of Total Product Destruction and president of Total Training Services, which operates The Shred School in Spartanburg, S.C.
