words	do	not	refer	to	logic	and	reason;	they	refer	to	feelings.
   Service	 businesses	 are	 about	 relationships.	 Relationships	 are	 about	 feelings.

In	good	ones,	the	feelings	are	good;	in	bad	ones,	they	are	bad.
   In	service	marketing	and	selling,	the	logical	reasons	that	you	should	win	the

business—your	 competence,	 your	 excellence,	 your	 talent—just	 pay	 the	 entry
fees.	Winning	is	a	matter	of	feelings,	and	feelings	are	about	personalities.

   Meryl	Streep	is	right.	Life	is	like	high	school,	and	success	in	high	school	and
service	marketing	often	is	largely	a	question	of	personality.

   Be	professional—but,	more	importantly,	be	personable.
