Yay or nay. You’re only as good as your “last impression.” – SCN Encourager
This is an epic “last impression” story.
The facts:
In 2004 Blockbuster Video enjoyed $6 billion on annual revenues.
Yay!
In 2010 it went bankrupt.
Nay.
So what went wrong?
Well, for starters, on a pivotal day in 1997, one particular Blockbuster customer became irate when he was forced to pay $40 in late fees.
He left the store carrying with him a “last impression” that set in motion his “never again” resolve.
The customer was Reed Hastings, the founder of Netflix
Even I couldn’t miss the lesson here.
Sometimes your “last impression” can indeed come back to haunt you.
And don’t I know it!
That’s why as you’re reading this… I’m already working on tomorrow’s Encourager.
