  12/12/06 - More Corporate Mottos
Katherine Barchetti, a Pittsburgh retailer, used to say, "Make a customer, not a sale." I don't know if that was actually the company's motto, but it could have been.
 
And if your company doesn't have a motto, this is certainly one worth considering. The brevity and preciseness of the motto makes it very accessible to all employees. It stands on its own but it can also be used as a cornerstone for so much more.
 
How does your company's motto stack up to this one?
