Growth Dynamics Get Down

Relationship building is important in everything that we do. It's in business development, we've got to be trusted, and we've got to know how to build trust. We've got to know what sets the foundation for building trust, and that's understanding how to be successful at relationship building.

This is a topic I can talk about and share information or thoughts about all day. We can do a Fast Tip Friday, a Fast Tip Saturday, a Fast Tip Sunday, if I just got on a roll… but I promise to keep it short.

This is something we all need to learn about… one of the most important attributes we've got to have as a human being, and that's the ability to be apologetic. We've all made mistakes, we've all misheard something, misunderstood something, we've all been in a position where we've had to apologize for something we've said or done and apologizing is often one of the hardest things to do.

I want to talk about kind of a one off topic today… and I'm sure I've alluded to it before in some of the other Fast Tip Friday’s, but this is something that I've seen in my personal life with some friends lately and something I think any of us that are in business development, any of us that manage people in business development, we've got to know that simply put you can say anything to anybody as long as you package it correctly.

This is one of the core concepts that we think is essential in successful business development, and frankly I think it's an element that's critically important for all kinds of communication, no matter what you're doing.

Hey, Charlie Hauck here, President, Lead Trainer, Founder of Growth Dynamics with another Fast Tip Friday!

This one's going to be kind of quick and short. I'll give you one example of the concept that I'm thinking of, but I do want to stress to everybody that words matter, particularly in business conversations.

Symptoms:
Linda was frustrated by her prospect's unwillingness to make a decision. Her prospect said he needed some time to digest the three options outlined in her proposal before making a decision.

Symptoms:
Valentine looked at his schedule and realized he is set to go visit a favorite client, or maybe a prospect, or maybe even still a suspect, this week. He absolutely loved spending time with this person and company.
