Revisiting Possibility
In the past, I have written Open Minds walk through Open Doors. It’s wise to hear a client, prospective friend, or hiring manager out to hear whether the fit will in actuality be a good one the second time around.

For example, years prior you met another with whom a good synergy was not found. This does not mean that after journeying in your endeavors for a long while that today the same will still be true. There is always a possibility that the two of you have changed just enough that a new collaboration may just work. In all honesty, it’s a rarity that people change enough to find synergy, but a rare occurrence does happen once in a while. Should a request come about to reconnect, it’s worth the time to explore new possibility.
Follow-up with your clientele is essential too. At first, it may seem a one-time sale was all that was expected on both sides. But by periodically checking in, learning what’s new by updating one another, new possibility may arise.
Change is the one constant and we don’t know what that might be unless we ask to have a conversation.
And if you had your heart set on a particular job but were previously turned down, a determined person will keep checking back to see how things are going with the employer-to-be and update the hiring manager on new skills developed. Stories have been told how this act of friendly persistence landed the job.
When you incorporate revisiting possibility into your routine, you will establish your leadership position along with the continued Smooth Sale.
