We've all heard it before. Customers buy from companies they know, like, and trust.

Customers also prefer to buy from businesses they respect and relate to.

Your core business values may be one of the driving forces behind your brand, but they're so much more than that.

Your Core Values

The principles by which you operate your business are what attract the right customers. They attract the right employees and motivate them daily. They also attract the right business partners while helping to guide your decision making.

In fact, your core values are what drive your entire business, regardless of what's happening in your market or the economy.

Core business values are the make up of your business's essential DNA and they establish its culture.

While they may sound a little corny or sentimental, values are actually a critical part of your business's success. All the big companies that have stood the test of time have them.

Here are just a few examples:
