Working in Beautiful Places, for Beautiful People, and with Beautiful People

What separates a five-star experience from a four-star experience is the customer service. A culture that leads with five-star customer service is a culture that is inspired to serve, not to be served.

An inspired culture that serves 

It is often difficult to be selfless, especially when the culture you live in is so individualistic. Serving others requires a great deal of humility and self-awareness. Above all, being selfless requires a heart-led approach that is service oriented. On a personal level, this selfless approach to customer service is very rewarding when fully invested in, as each selfless act is an expression of giving as opposed to taking. If you have ever donated your time or gifted something, you will understand that the emotional rewards are priceless. Each selfless act is like a ledger that tallies up credits versus debits and that builds trust and loyalty. 

This holds true on a professional level as well. A selfless customer service-oriented approach to doing business leaves the customer with a lasting impression that validates the product or service purchased. A customer who walks away from a transaction with the satisfaction of great service will return time and time again. In fact, excellent customer service is what fosters a relationship with the customer and makes his experience greater than just an ordinary purchase. The customer converts from shopper to brand loyalist and ambassador. This is the sweet spot and gains long-term customers who spread the word. When you create a connection above and beyond the transaction, the customer will be invested with his heart and not just his pocketbook. 

A prosperous tribe is a loving tribe that is inspired by its craft

By far, the strongest emotion on planet earth is love. It may seem cliché, but fundamentally, the power of love is transformative. Love has the ability to unite, to overcome, and to conquer. Its most important characteristic is that it unites. Within a company, there are many tribes that make up an organization. Although these tribes coexist within the same boundaries of an organization, they have many differences and similarities. That’s what makes each tribe unique and special. Each is a living and breathing entity. From a cultural standpoint, it is integral to foster a culture that embraces and deploys love, as this love will be the unifier that radiates outside the boundaries of the organization and into the world.

For LIME, the boundaries of our craft extend outside of the organization and lie within housing and commercial developments and properties. The boundaries of LIME’s craft go beyond the buildings themselves, for the people whom LIME interacts with bring the craft to life. From the places that LIME works to the people whom we serve and serve with, LIME thrives because of the inherent beauty in all. We are a thriving organization because of the love that radiates from within to the places and people whom we serve.

What do you think about LIME’s core values of Love, Integrity, Mission, and Excellence? Do you believe that love unifies LIME’s tribes of people and provides the company as a whole with the ability to lead while successfully interacting with peers, customers, and the community?
