Attract the Right Job or Clientele: Sales Tip #632

Heeding Messages Received

Words That Make You Think

This weekend messages came forth confirming my writing and teaching.  On Friday evening, Stephen Colbert interviewed Sir Richard Barnson, Virgin Airlines.  His concern was the shape in which we are leaving our planet for future generations.  Branson then announced that within a relatively short period of time, all of his airplanes will run on clean fuel.  His new book encourages other companies to begin cutting the greed and working to improve our environment.  He ended with the message of building community.

On a lighter note, a similar message was heard a day later, delivered in the Muppet movie.  The underlying theme for children is to “Believe in yourself” and “Support your friends, build community”.  Hearing the same message twice in one weekend made it very compelling.   While we have excellent messaging for our children, it’s sad that as they mature they get lost trying to fit in or be like everyone else.  Next, competition takes over in the work world and the idea of support is lost.

Taking these messages into the entrepreneurial and corporate worlds of working for an improved planet, helping those coming up behind us and supporting our peers will serve to build stronger businesses too.  Social media became a huge hit because people are seeking community where a stronger connection is felt.  

Those of you seeking new jobs may wish to align yourself with companies who model these ideas should they be in your list of priorities.  It is knowing your priorities in full detail that will lead to a better match for a job or clientele.  

Qualifying and matching the areas of commonality will put you on the path to a Smooth Sale!
