33 Core Values Every Service Business Should Have On Their List
As a professional operating in any kind of service-based business, having a set of values you abide by daily is very important. This set of values defining how you work and serve is called “Core Values”. Core values are called so because they are chosen from an abundant amount of general values to express what you believe in and stand for as a service professional. Stating your core values and practicing them allows you to stand out as a service professional in your industry. Your core values also provide the inspiration for a solid brand strategy leading to a solid brand positioning.
