There is no need to say much about the importance of details. The success and failure of many things in the world, the good and the bad, the beauty and the ugliness, all stem from the details. For example, the reason why a famous brand shirt becomes a famous brand is not because of the difference in the fabrics, but because of the lack of a few threads, the symmetry of the sleeves, and the more buttons on the hem of the shirt, etc. These details attract the attention of consumers. The success of many people also comes from the improvement of their self-cultivation. Some small details can change the impression of others on him and then contribute to his success.

A lady from a trading company in Tokyo, Japan is in charge of buying tickets for guests. The manager of a large German company soon discovered an interesting phenomenon: whenever he went to Osaka, his seat was always in the right window; when he returned to Tokyo, he always sat in the left window. The manager asked the reason, and the lady smiled and replied: "When the car goes to Osaka, Mount Fuji is on your right; when you return to Tokyo, Mount Fuji is on your left. I think foreigners must like the magnificent view of Mount Fuji, So I always buy tickets for different locations for you every time." The German manager was so moved that he suddenly increased the trade volume with this company from 4 million marks to 12 million marks. The German manager said, such a trivial matter, the staff of this company can think so thoughtfully, what is there to worry about doing business with them?

Joan Sassi from Italy had to drop out of school at the age of 9 because of a poor family and opened a stationery store with her mother next to a school. Because the store is only seven or eight square meters, it can't make much money and can only simply maintain a living. But my mother always took out a large bottle of glue for the students to use in vain when buying envelopes and sticking stamps.

At that time, it took Joan and her mother a day to earn this bottle of glue. Joan felt very incomprehensible. But my mother said that very small things can sometimes make people feel warm. Only when people feel warm can they do business well; even if they don't do business, they can make people feel warm, which is also a good thing.

Soon, the mother took out a pencil sharpener for the students to use for nothing. At that time, pencil sharpeners had just come out, and most students could not afford them, so they went to small shops to sharpen pencils. Within a few days, the pencil sharpener will break. Mother took out another one.

The small shop run by Joan and her mother, although the profit is meager, always makes people feel warm and cordial. A few years later, Joan turned 15 and felt it was time for her to do something. Italy used to be a country with a lot of bicycles, so Joan repaired bicycles in front of her small shop. This is Joan's first business venture.

Joan prepared some valve cores for the people who came to repair the car. When others repair the car, the valve core will cost money, but only Joan will give it away for free, which is very surprising. The students would rather run a mile or two more than come to Joan to fix the car.

A few years later, Joan opened her own private courier business. Other courier companies charge fees for mail packages, but here in Joan, simple packaging is free. Joan earned less than any courier company, but Joan quickly won hearts.

At the age of 39, Joan took over another car dealership. When Joan took over, let the employees prepare to pay for half a year. Everyone knew that Joan was the most profitable person, but what she announced was losing money. The information released by Qiong to the outside world caused an uproar in the auto market: anyone who buys a car in our store will always send the interior. Joan is the first person in Italy to sell a car like this, and the first person in the world to sell a car for interior decoration. In less than half a year, Joan's car shop began to make money.

At the age of 50, Joan founded the largest supermarket chain in Italy. Other supermarkets are calculating with customers one by one, but Joan's supermarket saves change for customers. Any small change is borne by the supermarket. Giving a few cents is trivial for a supermarket, but Joan has won the hearts of customers.

"Small things, warm hearts." Joan has done this all her life.

Paying attention to the smallest details doesn't seem like anything, it's usually not worth mentioning, but for most people in the world, it's not easy to do. And it is precisely those who pay attention to details, who can achieve great things.
