Attention to detail is the detail that makes your product, service, or experience excellent versus just good, decent, or worthless.
Attention to Detail Matters from Start to Finish
Think about the best products you have, your favorite services, and your favorite experiences. They (the company) probably get every detail right from start to finish which means some person or, more likely, organization gave great attention to every minute aspect of the product/service/experience to ensure they included everything you care about.
Likewise, great employees, managers, and business owners are usually detail-oriented. They plan tasks properly, give extra care to doing things right, check thoroughly for errors, and deliver accurate reports and/or complete work.
Consider the immediate benefits of a detail-oriented employee:
- They get it right the first time
- They require less management
- They read contracts more carefully
- They catch more details in sales opportunities (like up-sell opportunities)
- They deliver finished products/reports to clients
- They can help check other employees’ work (decreasing management time further)
- They don’t waste other employees’ time with bad or un-checked work
- They tend to plan better
- You can expect them to discover more opportunities
