Know the people that you are working with. Learn what they like to do and what they do not like to do. It is crucial to get inside the person that you are working with. If you have a retail business then it is crucial to know your vendors, to the people that even clean for you. If they know that they know you, then they would not mind going that extra mile for you just for courtesy. Really talk to them on a one on one basis, communicate with them other than just business life. Get to know them as a person!!
- Know their birthday. It is one time out of the year that is their day! Make it worthwhile for that person. A card and a balloon could really change a person’s perspective about you and how they would think of you. I mean a nice gesture could really get you far with how that person would feel and think of you. Some people don’t even bother with their birthdays so if you show that you even noticed it than that would really get you some good points. That goes for anyone too, not just people you are trying to close deals with or higher ups in your company. Even the guy in the mail room, the guy that holds the door open for you, the young lady or man in Starbucks that knows your order for your everyday and on time.
- Encourage your employees, co workers, and business partners to want to do better. Helping them to expand to new heights in their business or job. Taking the time out of your day and life to show people that you want to see them succeed as much as you do could be a great thing. I mean when people see someone else always happy and succeeding with things and their at a standstill really bums them out. So, if you could just show them new things to get them excited, or help them do things that could get their business to a new stand point or light could just be phenomenal.
- One on one moment with people is important. When you have conversations with another person and just talk to them to see how they day is going or week is nice. If you work in a retailer taking the time to talk to your customers is important because if they feel that they are not getting treated how they should they will just walk out and go somewhere else. Same thing goes for entrepreneurs, if you are trying to get a private loan, meet more people, or anything like that, it’s important to treat them with the upmost respect and really talk to that person.
- Be flexible and understanding with people. Everyone has different challenges and obstacles in their own life. Everyone has their own story and things that they go through on a day to day basis. By being that person that could adapt to other peoples issues could benefit you in knowing that if anything were to come up you know how to deal with the situation and not moan and throw a fit.
Bottom line is that everyone wants to be treated the best way, but to be treated in a great way you have to treat others the same way. You will receive what you dish out to others. People will always tell something bad about a person before they say something good in most cases. Be a good person, manager, entrepreneur and you will have good things happen to you.
I am a self motivated business person. I am here to give opinions and help other people in this world reach their goals of what they would like to accomplish in life. Helping individuals meet their goals and helping them accomplish what they would like in life. Having that one person to back you up in anything that you want to do in life.
