Happy Cinco De Mayo!

One of the first things I learned when going into business for myself

One of the first things I learned when going into business for myself was to "under promise and over deliver." I was VERY pleased with a recent company that did just this when I ordered a product from them. I vowed to write them an amazing review when they emailed me, but instead they sent me a feedback questionnaire which I gladly filled out. The item I ordered from Healthy Living Catalog is shown in the image below 👇 (including its estimated arrival date):

You can see one of the things I provided them for feedback when filling out their feedback questionnaire as to why I was so pleased with them (here it is directly as I quote):


"I was VERY pleased with how you under promised and over delivered with the estimate of my hot/cold pad. I suffer from chronic pain and remembered this item in your catalog. I ordered the item on Wed. night and paid for the expedited shipping for it. You said it'd arrive Monday and it arrived Friday. I was SO happy because I was praying it'd come sooner than Monday and it did and I was able to use Friday when I was in pain and suffering. Thank you for doing the one of the first things I learned when going in business for myself, under promise and over deliver."
