A clearly articulated philosophy creates a ripple effect in the entire workings of an organization. Internal and external communications are made consistent so that the company and its employees don't just make promises; they become their promises.

1. A strong philosophy has magnetic powers.
   It attracts like-minded individuals to your organization, 'pulling in' suppliers who reflect the company, a team of workers who share the passion and loyal customers who believe in 'the cause'.
   
   
2. A philosophy commands loyalty.
   When two individuals share something as intimate as a philosophy, they begin to form a relationship of trust. Business by Philosophy™ forms this type of a relationship between the company and its client. Trust breeds loyalty of the greatest value, emotional loyalty. While the articulation of the philosophy in a Unifying Philosophy (UPh™) Statement occupies intellectual real estate, the relationship built upon this philosophy occupies Emotional Real Estate™. Once a client has an emotional response associated with this shared philosophy you will have their unconditional loyalty.
   
   
3. Business by Philosophy™ cuts through market chaos.
   Most companies continue to focus the majority of their marketing dollars on chasing technology trends and product lifecycles. This produces short-term results that cost a lot of money in the long run. This is market chaos. A corporate philosophy is a constant, an unchanging force that drives the rest of your marketing program regardless of technology, trends and social change.
   
   
4. Business by Philosophy™ ensures sustainable brand equity.
   When you articulate who you are and what you stand for, consumers will distinguish you from your competitors. With 6 words or less, every corporate tool is branded with a compelling consumer buying statement - A Unifying Philosophy™ (UPh™). This builds goodwill with the consumer that lasts beyond the zesty advertising campaigns. A corporate philosophy, articulated in a UPh™, sets you apart from the competition so that customers will always remember who you are and why they like to buy from you.
   
   
5. Business by Philosophy™ does the filtering for you.
   Organizations often over-spend on marketing collateral because they operate from a mindset that more clients means better business rather than better clients means better business. There are many sales hurdles involved in the pitch, from consumer preoccupation with comparison shopping to reactionary sales objections. Each hurdle exponentially reduces your chances for clinching a sale. So, why waste time and money in marketing to an audience that isn't listening? If the same time is spent targeting a focused audience that needs the services and shares the philosophy being offered, a profound return on investment is achieved.
