The Simple Truths of Service: Will You Be a Johnny Today?
August 17, 2007 by Lillie
Simple Truths has a wonderful collection of inspirational videos available online for free as well as great products for sale.
One of my favorite videos is The Simple Truths of Service with the theme “Customer service is not a department . . . it is an attitude.” Of course, most writers, freelancers, independent entrepreneurs don’t have a department—or anyone but themselves—for customer service or any other aspect of business. But we still need to give customers a little more than they expect if we want our businesses to prosper.
The movie tells the unforgettable true story about a young man with Down Syndrome who changes the culture of a grocery store by giving the customers a little more than they expect. Here’s a warning: Once you watch it, you’ll never forget it! Perhaps it will inspire all of us to make a difference, too.

interesting write up, i go have a look at the video, btw added u to my tecnorati too
I just watched the Johnny film, and it made me cry.
This is one of the most inspiring things I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s easy in this ever moving world to discount those less able than ourselves, this is a good lesson in not doing that.
Thank you Johnny and thank you Lillie for showing it to us.
very interesting video
Wow, great video. That’s really great.
George,
It is a powerful reminder that we can all contribute to making the world a better place if we just make the commitment.
I use inspirational videos everytime my kids do something bad or I just want to inspire them to be great and not settle for being average.
Great idea, Jim. Kids tend to respond to videos more than to parents’ lectures.
Simple Truth = Very proffesional. I highly recommend it

I would like to see the video. Do you have to order it or is it on a website that I can watch?

It is for sale on the linked website.
Seems like another inspirational movie here. Thanks for sharing. I’ll go check this out.
Enjoy, Jane!
Thanks, Simon. I need to pay more attention and learn about Technorati, StumbleUpon, etc. I look at them every once in a while and just get confused.
Stat sites are addictive and frustrating. If you’re happy blogging the way you are, I’d leave them alone.
Thanks, Jeremy, for the encouragement. Everybody is always talking about rankings and stats and Technorati and StumbleUpon and Digg … Sometimes I think I have to get on the bandwagon. I appreciate your support to keep blogging the way I like.
The movie makes me cry every time I watch it, too, Carol.
I’m glad you liked it, Dirk.
