Every time
you leave the office or speak to anyone, you are representing your business and
your services. The most valuable gift you can give your customer is
yourself, be authentic in every way. We all can tell (or, should be able
to tell) when someone is not being himself or herself. They dress in a
way that they were told would impress, but it is obvious that they are not
themselves in that attire.
When you
speak, speak from your heart, not from a ‘canned’ script. Focus on the
needs of the person or customer you are working with, listen intently to their
words, affirm their words back to them – we all have a deep need to be
understood and validated.
What an
experience your prospects and customers will have in working with you when they
know they are heard and understood! They will be walking, talking
ambassadors for your business, regardless if they ever personally buy from
you. Zig Ziglar’s infamous quote applies, “You can get anything
you want by helping others get what they want”.
We are
talking about a ‘tit-for-tat’ type of exchange; but, when you have the mindset
that you place the needs of others before your needs, you will receive in kind
from unexpected people, at unexpected times. Perhaps it is a bit of
karmic law, but also it is a course in behavior. When we treat people as
gifts and not as a transaction, they will tell their friends about that
experience.
You never
know who those people know. There are many stories of a third or fourth
generation referral that eventually found their way back to the conscious
business owner and presented new opportunities – beyond any previous
thoughts. What we are talking about here is providing incredible
value – you see, price is a one-time consideration, and value is perceived
across the lifetime of the product or business relationship.
By applying
these keys, you will be well on your way to a thriving conscious business, but
only if you allow yourself to receive all that comes back to you. All of
nature works on a give and take arrangement, the sun gives light – the plants
take the light and give flowers, food, nectar, etc. Humans are the
same. We cannot continually give without receiving. Try to only
exhale for more than 30 seconds; you’ll run out of air and have to inhale
(receive) to exhale again. Being open to receive a compliment, a favor,
compensation for services will feed you in many ways, and provide the energy to
continue serving the world knowing that the natural cycle is in perfect working
order.
In
creating this conscious business model, and serving and enhancing all the lives
you touch, all your current dreams will come to life. Then it is time to
look for ways to serve even more people.
Empower
yourself to dream massive dreams, only a few people have created a shift in the
world without having or creating new revenues. People with ‘YES
Energy’ flow in rapid rivers of abundance from which they can create more
opportunities to serve the world. Thinking small or not believing you can –
will never create change. Say ‘YES’ to your dream of a Conscious
business. Embrace these keys to unlock your new, enormous dreams, and
serve the world in your unique way!
