In the words of Bob Vamvas, Amy’s Attic [Self Storage](http://amysatticss.com) Operations Director, the companies that continually beat the other guys in the game know that long term [winning](http://amysatticss.com) is all about providing great value, gaining the customer’s confidence, growing the staff and being a pillar in the community. Having more than 30 years of C-suite, business advisory and operational experience in diverse sectors Vamvas has extracted the fundamental 7 principles which enable an entity to excel to keep customers and to grow sustainably. "Being the largest or the lowest cost in your market doesn't mean you're winning," Vamvas added. “Understanding your customer delivering on what you promise them and gaining the trust of the customer so they will do business with you” Winning organizations are operationally disciplined and really care about the people and communities they serve.” Seven Core Tenets for Thriving in Business 1\. Turn Company Promises Into Day To Day Action. Ads are for getting people in consistency is for keeping them. Firms have to be consistent in the service they provide maintain the standards of their business communicate effectively and deliver what they promise. “Expectations are set by marketing, but it’s operations that will either deliver on those expectations or not,” Vamvas stated. 2\. Compete on Value, Not Only on Price While cost is a consideration, ease, dependability, clarity and a responsive service are just as important to the buyers. Thriving companies know what they are and they prove the faith their clients have in them through what they deliver. 3\. Engage as a Participating Member of Your Community Companies enhance their credibility by sponsoring purposeful community activities.

Starting in 2017, Amy's Attic's Community Through Cards initiative has been inviting people and families to make and give greeting cards to retirement homes and emergency workers. "Customers trust a company when they witness the company doing what it claims," Vamvas remarked. 5\. Tap Business Resources to Tackle Community Problems Everything has something that is useful to everything else.

Foster Responsible Staff and Quantify What is Important Clear assignment of responsibility effective and quality leadership, performance indicators and employee training are the pillars of sustainable development. Firms should always keep track of the number of retained customers, the revenue, the expense, the performance, quality of service and social involvement and have groups accountable for performance.

He asks all entrepreneurs, no matter what industry or size they are in, to reflect on: are we constantly meeting customer expectations, are our people able to do their best work, do we have a good and productive relationship with our people and are we a good community member? “Businesses that win in the future are the businesses that get what business is about, and what business is about are people,” Vamvas said.
