“The ability to influence people without irritating them is the most profitable skill you can learn.” – Napoleon Hill

When doing a presentation or promoting your products it’s important to really work hard to connect with each of them individually. When face-to-face it’s vital to make eye contact, read each persons body language and try to see the presentation through their eyes.

The Remarkable Reason Why Buyers Don’t Like Salespeople

,

SalespeopleIf buyers could easily get by without salespeople, do you think they would?

It really is a fascinating question if you stop and consider the role of the salesperson. Naturally, taking into consideration the role within an abstract way is a very important factor, but how about considering it from an individual perspective? What goes on as a salesperson when you put your thoughts aside for an instant, relax, take a breath and honestly consider,

“What role will I play with my customers?”

If you ask a salesperson what value they bring to their buyers, you will most likely get smoke and mirrors. Once you ask this question of clients and specifically professional customers, you will get a totally different answer. For professional clients who visit a wide selection of salespeople, the worthiness they put on them is usually very little.

The Good Feelings of the Holiday Season – All Year Round

,

HolidayYou have got to love the holiday season because it typically generates good feelings in us towards our fellow man.
It is the season of giving after all!

It is important not to be too caught up in the good feelings of the season. As we can lose sight of the point: giving is not about good feelings!

It is about helping those less unfortunate than yourself.

The most noteworthy fact is that most of our charity is seasonal and it should be a source of shame, not pride.

I’m not talking about donating money as that is a fine thing to do. I’m talking about the personal person-to-person giving. It is about really reaching out and helping our fellow human beings.  We should be enriching others’ lives without worrying about enriching our own.

The Millennial’s Mindset: Work-Life Integration Vs. Work-Life Balance

,

As one of the most influential generations of our time, Millennials have initiated a significant shift in today’s work-life environment.

I am not just saying that because I come from that generation.

These days, the big question isn’t about how we obtain work-life balance. Rather it is how we integrate our work with our families, friends, hobbies, and personal goals. Drawing a distinct line between our personal lives and our work lives has become something of the past. This is all thanks to things like technology and our constant ability to plug-in at work.

Instead, Millennials like me are more concerned with work-life integration.

15 Important Strategies for Effective Time Management

,

Time management is about making the most effective use of your time and working smarter, not harder. It requires planning, and then sticking to the plan.Which in turn requires discipline day in and day out.

Thomas A. Edison once said “Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”

According to the Pareto principle or 80/20 rule, 80 per cent of results come from 20 per cent of effort. That means that of all the things you do, 20 per cent is vital and 80 per cent doesn’t contribute much. Just think of how much you would achieve if you focused more effort on the 20 per cent that really matters! Read more
