THE DIAMOND TOUCH PROGRAMS
We're all familiar with The Golden Rule, "Treat others in the way you would like to be treated." The Golden Rule is a powerful principle, but it has one shortcoming. Everyone wants to be treated differently. If you're a service provider, your customers/clients want to be served differently. If you're a salesperson, your customers/clients want to be influenced differently. If you're a leader, your people want to be led differently.

This variety of desires is what makes all relationships interesting and challenging. It's also the reason you can't take a cookie-cutter approach to service, influence and leadership in today's diverse world. The good news is this variety of desires creates tremendous opportunities for the companies and people who understand and practice The Diamond Touch.

The Diamond Rule is, "Treat others in the unique way they want to be treated." Those who follow the Diamond Rule quickly and precisely discover the unique desires of their internal and external customers. Then, whenever possible, they give them what they want, in the way they want it. This will create mutually beneficial relationships that stand the test of time.
