You stop using management speak to praise yourself. Forget the meaningless cliche of 'gourmet' and describe what you actually do 'Our michelin star chef prepares your dish to order' . This gives the reader the right impression - without relying on a term which has lost its meaning through misuse. Course, that would only work if it was true. Let your reviewers call you gourmet.

I penned (typed) (ranted) "Words Have Meaning" at http://wp.me/pVUDj-7J on "RenaissanceRules" as a result of these shared concerns, a few weeks ago. Enjoy! Fight back against the "dominant paradigm" of word devaulation! Word corruption/erosion/et.al. continues in all areas of life and fields of endeavor, with very detrimental long-term results.

I don't have a clearcut answer to that ... all I know is how to build on public successes and private failures, and sometimes viceversa. That's my marketing, my lead generator, what I'm doing and have done! -Later!

If you want to be known for bringing value, you can't just say the words, but have to make the effort to connect that descriptor to your company by the people who use your services. Can't become something because you label it so. Don't say you're awesome, perform well and let others do that for you. You have to perform toward your end goal daily to be recognized for it.

It reminds me of my favorite Mother Theresa quote: "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there." Put energy into the things you WANT, instead of what you don't!
