The pitfalls of ghosting in business
Why you should never ghost someone in a business environment:-Lack of Communication: Not responding to business emails and text messages can convey a lack of communication and interest in the ongoing professional relationship.Missed Opportunities: Ignoring messages may lead to missed opportunities, such as potential collaborations, partnerships, or deals that could benefit your business.Negative Impression: It creates a negative impression on the sender, suggesting that you don't value their time or input, which can damage your professional reputation.Delayed Progress: Failing to respond promptly can cause delays in projects, decision-making, and overall progress, hindering the efficiency of your business interactions.Breakdown of Trust: Consistent communication is key to building and maintaining trust with clients, colleagues, and partners. Ignoring messages erodes that trust.Professionalism and Etiquette: A fundamental aspect of professionalism is acknowledging and responding to messages promptly. It reflects your commitment to professionalism and business etiquette.Customer Service: Poor communication can frustrate customers, clients, or partners, leading to dissatisfaction and potentially causing them to seek alternatives.Misunderstandings: Lack of response can lead to misunderstandings, as the sender may assume you received and understood the message when you did not.Lost Networking Opportunities: Ignoring messages can lead to missed networking opportunities, limiting your ability to connect with industry peers and potential mentors.Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

Be Humble!
Mar 9 2023
Be Humble!
Using manners and being humble can be incredibly valuable not only when selling, but in any situation. Being polite and humble helps foster strong relationships because it demonstrates respect for others, which leads to feelings of goodwill. On the other hand, failing to practice good manners or being arrogant can create animosity between people, ultimately making communication and collaboration difficult.  This is a business relationship killer.Studies have shown that people who practice politeness tend to be more successful because they are perceived as more reliable, trustworthy, and likable. Additionally, those with good manners have been found to be better liked by their peers while also receiving more help from them when needed. Lastly, using politeness and humility is beneficial in any situation because it conveys respect for others without implying superiority or dominance over them.When it comes to humility, Forbes says it best: "True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less." In other words, being humble isn't about putting yourself down or making yourself smaller; it's about having a realistic view of your own importance.Here are some of the best ways to be humble, according to Forbes:·      Acknowledge your successes, but don't dwell on them. Don't let your accomplishments go to your head; remember that they're not the only things that define you.·      Be open to criticism and feedback. It can be difficult to hear negative feedback about ourselves, but it's important to be open to it. It can help us improve and grow as people.·      Don't compare yourself to others. We all have our own unique talents and gifts, so there's no need to compare ourselves to others. Accepting ourselves for who we are is an important part of humility.·      Be grateful for what you have. Instead of always focusing on what we don't have, let's take some time to appreciate the good things in our lives. From our family and friends to our health and homes, there's so much to be grateful for.Stay Humble #sellingwithsandra #behumble #salesSupport the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!
