Getting More From Your Skilled Suppliers--by being patient.

Everything is delivered fast, fast, fast these days. I ordered a computer from a store four states away and it was on my doorstep by breakfast the next morning.

Fast is great for big product retailers, but the new super-speed of business is a huge pain in the neck for many skilled service folks.

No matter how hard you try, good old-fashioned work done by humans just takes time.

I was in a terrific little family restaurant that serves some of the best food in town. They were swamped with a sudden rush of business.

A customer became irrate because service was taking longer than what she had come to expect from fast food operations.

You will get much better work from craftspeople, writers, designers, and experts if you give them plenty of time to do the job.

Plan well in advance and order early if you can.

Many creative folks need time to recharge between jobs. A top website logo designer warns customers it may take three weeks before he even starts on their logo. It often takes that long to come up with an exceptional concept (which he does on a regular basis).

Those who start early and show patience are rewarded with top service.
