[Mataracy]

What is punctuality in business? The word punctuality means being in the place of business at the right time when needed by the customers.
There is nothing inspires confidence in a business man sooner than punctuality, nor I there any habit which sooner saps his/her reputation than that of being always behind time.

Being tardy or delayed or lately can be a serious marketing blunder for today's business owner. From being late to meetings with a colleague or client ,to not delivering your product or service on time, tardiness or late speaks volume about who you are and how you do business.

If you want customers to choose to do business with you ,you must meet their expectations for performances. As a business man if you can not meet deadlines for delivering products and services, customers will quickly find their ways to your competitors. Being punctual shows that you are confident. When you show up on time, its a sign that you are confident to take on whatever might lay before you and it's also gives you an edge in business against your competitors. Can this really affect business negatively? Let's hear your opinion.

Punctuality is the soul of business. A serious business owner must be timely. Imagine customers queueing at your shop for some goods and you are no where to be found. Definitely, they have to fish out other business owners that are around to satisfy their needs. And that's how customers will be lost on a daily basis due to non punctuality.

The reason behind every successful person is punctuality of his time in his life .
time matters in everyone's life but most of the people ignore the value of time and they just keep moving on whatever they are doing on the movement.
Punctuality depends on our success specially when it comes on daily routine we have to follow the instructions on time so the front percent who is sitting in front office will appreciate and inspire and their working time and he will join us and copy our instructions and he will follow has so in this way the business will go in the success right not in the failing side.
Following and operating instructions related to business and in daily routine make a human .

This is the story of 2 applicants. One is simple and mediocre while the other is smart and highly educated. On the day of the interview the simple guy came early so he was interviewed first. The smart applicant came late and the boss had already left for an appointment. The smart guy was not interviewed anymore since the boss decided to hire the simple guy. End of story. That is a neat lesson in punctuality.
