Operate with Urgency

Posted to LinkedIn 11/3/25

If there’s one trait that separates average companies from exceptional ones, it’s urgency.

When a customer reaches out, they’re not doing it because they need something next week or next month — they need help now. Whether it’s a quote, a delivery update, a service call, or a warranty issue, the clock starts the moment they ask.

Urgency is not just a behavior — it’s a mindset. It must live in every layer of your company:
✅ In the office staff who answer the phones and emails.
✅ In the sales team who respond to quotes.
✅ In the field crews who interact with project managers.
✅ In the warranty people who represent your company after the sale.

When your team operates with urgency, customers notice. They stop feeling like they have to chase you. They see you as responsive, reliable, and professional — and that lowers their perception of risk in doing business with you.

And when customers trust you, they give you more work.

Bottom line: teach urgency, reward urgency, and make it part of your corporate DNA. It’s not just good service — it’s a growth strategy.
