The 10 Best Business Relationship Building Tips to Help Your Profits Soar!
1. Know something personal about the people you do business with. Some people don't believe in mixing business with pleasure.
2. Always be sincere. Has this ever happened to you? You are at a conference, and you meet someone in your industry.
3. Respond to colleagues in a timely manner. We are all busy. Someone else's biggest priority is usually not our own.
4. Always arrive on time. Fashionably late does not exist in business.
5. Never use your children as an excuse. Many times the reason for not finishing a report or being late for a meeting very well may be because one of your children wasn't feeling well, or they couldn't find their homework or you forgot to pack school lunches.
6. Be Positive. No one likes to be around cranky people. Beside the fact that cranky people take the fun out of things, it can be draining and counter-productive.
7. Know something about your potential business associate's company. If you are off to meet with a potential business associate, make sure you do your homework.
8. Never, ever gossip. Being known as a gossip is the fastest way to destroy business relationship.
9. Give more than you get. Karma does exist. If you are known as the WIIFM (what's in it for me) type, you need to work to change your image.
