Attract The Right Job Or Clientele:
Do You Balance Making Money with Trust?
Routinely, we witness those who balance making money with trust versus those who don’t. On occasion, we each get caught up in a scenario we would rather avoid. It’s best to consider if the person or company are worthy of our trust before entering into agreements of any type
Interestingly, effective selling strategies apply to figuring out whom you can trust. You may find the clues in your communications. Intuition and all communications, including written, voice, or video. They will reveal whether the other people and entities balance making money with trust or not.
In a traditional business meeting, whether in-person, by Zoom, or audio, it is essential to be attentive to the signals we hear and see.
The preliminary signals people hear and observe are:
- Tone of Voice
- Facial Expressions
- Curiosity
- Honesty or lack thereof
- Empathy upon striving to create a solution together
- Consistency
Upon detecting something may not be as it should, don’t instantly end the meeting. We can easily misunderstand the words we see or hear, or the other party will err. But don’t let anything slide, either. Be straightforward to demonstrate your integrity. Stop the progression by asking for clarification. Often, the better verbiage clears up the miscommunication and allows everyone to proceed.
The additional benefit to asking is that we come across as professional, and the action demonstrates our leadership capabilities. Accordingly, the prospect is encouraged to continue mapping out possibilities that grow the eventual sale.
Repeat: “Use the Q-L-C method ~ Question, Listen, Clarify ~ in all communications to verify everyone’s best interest comes first.
My Story:
As a person who follows the news and the associated stock market, highs and lows raise the question regarding balancing money with trust. Due to social media usage, everyone today is on center stage globally. Our communications can make a worldwide impact, good or bad. Being a formal speaker is no longer a requirement as we spread our message via our devices.
Should we be inspired to make a difference by serving others, it’s best to connect with those who aspire to do the same. As previously written, my best for last is in participating in the global community, Inclusion Allies Coalition. The organization provides the opportunity to meet people who hold similar values for business and life. The magic is in others echoing and sharing what we have to say.
For all businesses, no matter the size or service, it’s essential to train employees on what your sell plus your standard of ethics. Teach communication skills versus memorization of scripts. Have fun with improvisation training to make representatives feel comfortable on their stage with prospective clients. As our clientele detects we hold enjoyment in our work, they will be more likely to conduct business with us.
