Tips to Stand Out: Overdeliver Every Chance You Get

Overdelivering isn’t extra. It’s how you become the first name that comes to mind.

Hi Friends,

Most people do just enough to get by.

They:
❌ Meet expectations but never exceed them.
❌ Deliver what was promised—but nothing more.
❌ Wonder why they don’t get referrals, promotions, or repeat business.

But the people who stand out and succeed?

They make overdelivering a habit.

They do the extra 10%—and that’s what people remember.

Core Lesson:

People won’t remember you for doing the bare minimum.

They remember you when you:
✔ Show up early
✔ Go the extra mile
✔ Deliver more value than they paid for

When you overdeliver, you:

  • Build trust faster

  • Create word-of-mouth buzz

  • Turn one-time opportunities into long-term relationships

Want more doors to open?

Do more than expected—every time.

Actionable Steps to Start Overdelivering:

1️⃣ Add One Extra Value Piece to Every Delivery

  • Write a bonus tip, add a resource, record a quick voice note.

  • Ask yourself: "What else would help them win?"

2️⃣ Communicate Before They Expect It

  • Be the first to follow up.

  • Give progress updates before they ask.

3️⃣ Make It Personal

  • Add a human touch.

  • Reference a previous convo, offer a thoughtful insight, or share a related story.

4️⃣ Set the Bar High—Then Exceed It

  • If you say it’ll be done by Friday, deliver on Thursday.

  • People talk about that.

Real-World Example:

Think of Amazon Prime.

✔ It started with free 2-day shipping.
✔ Then came Prime Video, Prime Music, faster delivery, early deals…
✔ Every year, they add more value—without raising the expectations upfront.

That’s why people renew automatically.

They don’t feel like customers.
They feel like they’re getting way more than they paid for.

That’s overdelivering.

Call to Action:

Ask yourself:
