Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart. All that will be left of you and be remembered well is what was in your heart.
Many people feel that they are listening well.
But their minds are already conjuring up answers even before they understand the real problem.
If you want to listen well, empty your thoughts first. Absorb and focus to what is being said. Have the sincerity to understand.
LISTEN WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICES.
Bear in mind you do not have an answer for everything.
And that’s entirely OK.
Listen to learn
Listen to understand
Listen to serve
Listen to solve a problem
Listen before you speak.
You will be more successful in selling if you listen better. Poor listening skills leads to wrong proposition and you will be wasting everyone’s time.
Not every customer is your customer. If you listen well, then you will also know when to walk away or when to keep quiet.
She is Kamala …..
The news repeating again and again that “Kamala is the FIRST WOMAN OF COLOR” to fill the VP chair and that “this is a victory for black women” is really sad.
She is Kamala Harris.
Praise her, focus on her credentials and qualities.
Why is there a need to emphasize so much of her “color”? Isn’t this “encouraging” racial polarization in modern America ?
Just treat her as a well deserving “human being” elected by the people …..regardless of race, gender, religion and color.
The popular votes showed only a slim victory in this divisive election.
Regardless, the better man won and DIGNITY is now at least restored to a country that shouts out loud about democracy and claims to be a land of the free.
May the lies, hypocrisy, bullying, stupidity and discrimination stop.
God has blessed America and infact the WORLD.
A mistake made.
A wrong turn taken.
If only you are willing to say sorry, willing to own up, stop being defensive and take sincere actions to correct your fault, life will be less complicated and meaningful relationship will be forged.
Nobody is perfect … and the ability to admit your shortcomings shows dignity and humility.
Its not about just shutting down and having a bunch of procedures ….
WHAT is needed is for the authorities to enforce DISCIPLINE amongst the people.
Is the punishment severe enough ?
Who is really watching, enforcing …..24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 31 days a month ?
Perhaps the military should step in ?
This is a WAR afterall …..
.
Inevitably customers will bargain and negotiate for a better price. It is human nature.
So, as a salesperson – what is your worth ?
What is your value ?
Where do you draw the line in giving better prices ?
In your quest to deliver great product and services, your SELF-WORTH is important too.
Should you have a feeling of desperation or being pushed into a corner by a customer, perhaps you have wrongly positioned your product or even perhaps chosen a wrong customer who does not appreciate your product/services.
They say that “Customer is King”.
But remember …… a good KING is compassionate, understands his subjects and will not make his people suffer.
Hence, are you then serving and being loyal to the right KING ? Find a KING who appreciates you, values you and not taking you for granted.
How badly do you want something ?
How badly do you want to WIN ?
Is your mind OBSESSED about exceeding your goals ?
Your OBSESSION will stretch your determination to the highest level you never thought you had. On the contary, a half hearted desire will just result in mediocrity.
As we forge ahead into the new normal era, we will need to redefine our niche and strengths again.
We will need to adapt, change and re-change many times to achieve a balance on what our new routines should be like.
Our past strengths could be our new weaknesses today. Be prepared to leave some of our “old me” behind.
Create a NEW-ME …..a one that is stronger and compassionate as well as living a life of mutual respect and empathy.
After 2 months of closure, for many, the risk of falling sick is now overshadowed by the fear of hunger or not being able to provide food for their loved ones.
Like it or not the economy has to open up again.We must be brave to move forward whilst enforcing stringent rules to punish thosewrong-doers.
Let us all be responsible on our personal hygiene, social distancing rules and adapting to new behaviors. Easier said than done, but Open we MUST
