At Egyii, We’re in the Construction Business
What? Are we nuts? Have we completely changed our focus? A new business model? Not really we have always been in this business. We are in the highway construction business. This highway is a unique highway in its own. It is called the “relationship highway.”
We provide the tools and materials to build relationship highways. Powerful relationship highways at that. Highways and powerful relationships are quite equal in parallel.
Why does one build a highway? Maybe a superhighway, outfitted with 8 lanes?
To make things go faster.
To ease congestion.
To make life easier.
To lower overall costs.
Building highways does take an investment and time. But the returns are great.
Why does one build powerful relationships? For the same reasons highways are built; for an easier and pleasurable life that is less congested and that moves more efficiently. For business, powerful relationships boost productivity (efficiency), lower overall costs and generate more revenue.
How do we build our highways at Egyii? Some of the tools and materials we use are based on trust. Why trust? Because of the economics of trust. Trust makes financial and long term sense. Trust is simple yet solid and proven. In Steven MR Covey’s book, The Speed of Trust, Mr. Covey states that “as trust increases, the speed of doing business increases and the cost decreases.”
Trust ↑ = Speed ↑ Cost ↓
Keep in mind-another parallel. Building powerful relationships also takes an investment and time…and the returns are also great.
Sorry. The lunch break is over. The whistle is blowing. Got to put on my construction hat and continue building.
