Your word, your bond (and how to spread a positive reputation like wildfire).

Today was inspiring and confronting.
Sunday morning service was all about relationships and family and how to be successful.
The issue that stuck in my mind was one of keeping your word.
I believe we all need to take time to ask ourselves are we a person of our word?
Do we say we will do something or be somewhere and then make sure we actually do it?
To spread a positive reputation like wildfire do the following....
Be a person of your word - If you can do it say so and then do so.
Make promises you can keep and don't make ones you cannot.
If it's a project allow extra time and then deliver a day early - your customer will love you for it.
Keep your promises to your wife and kids - they are a reflection of you and your best allies.
Wife and Kids before work (Jobs and businesses can always be rebuilt).

7 Reasons to Qualify. Part of natural selling.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

One of the many differences between Natural Selling and "selling" the conventional or the “Old Sales” way, is that Natural Selling approaches potential partners and customers with a different attitude.
Qualifying is finding out if a person is ready to take some form of action, ie buy your product or become part of your business opportunity (if you are running a MLM).
The article "7 Reasons to Qualify" is an interesting read.
