Truthful Answers for a Fruitful Relationship
Have you known people who are timid about stepping up to the plate to tell what they actually think (with diplomacy of course) about an offer or a remark made? The timid routine creates additional problems
The biggest blunder is that the other party believes you are okay with what is being stated and expected of you. This ultimately leads to additional unrest in future conversation. Less obvious is that additional people may see you not objecting, so they believe you are okay with the circumstances and begin to alter their dealings with you. Worse yet, when others see you continuing the dialogue, they may also subscribe because they believe you usually do what’s best. Not speaking up may easily become a downward spiral.
Make it your goal to ask direct questions to fully understand what is being said. Question that which does not sit right with you, and inquire about alternative thought. Only then will you be able to remain in good stead and proceed accordingly. This behavior is the mindset of a leader, and is appropriate for job seekers, career, and the business world too.
Savvy entrepreneurs understand that through all of this subtle marketing messages may be seen serving to attract a wider clientele and additional sales. This also speaks loud and clear about your personal brand. A willingness to talk out obstacles with the right prospective clients further builds the relationship and leads you to the Smooth Sale!
