Now, just a blurb for your information…
The book, How to Win Friends &Influence People,
consistently makes the top five whenever there is a survey
of most influential or inspiring books, and is often second
only to the Bible. The section titled, Six Ways to Make
People Like You, reveals six traits kind people of the
world share:
Become interested in other people. Note that he doesn't
say, “show interest,” but rather "become interested”?
Change yourself for real, rather than practicing handy
habits. Especially in business, it's critical that we
learn to see prospects as people rather than as sales.
Smile. There's probably nothing so positive and contagious
as a simple smile. If you have trouble smiling sincerely,
get your mind out of the dumps and think about something
that will make you smile.
Remember that a person's name is to that person the
sweetest and most important sound in any language. If you
are not a pro at remembering people's names, become one.
If your mind is dividing people into “important” and “not
as important”, remembering only those names you value,
you're at an enormous disadvantage in addition to being a
snob.
Be a good listener and encourage people to talk about
themselves. Most folks don't need much encouragement, but
those who do will likely thank you for such a great
conversation.
Talk in terms of the other person's interests. Reignite
your childhood curiosity, and ask questions! When
possible, learn in advance what their interests are and
spend a few minutes each day researching those topics so
you have something to discuss the next time you chat.
Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely.
Notice the talents and abilities of others. Show gratitude
to the grocer for not smashing your bread. Admire the
speed of the clerk at the DMV. If you can't find something
complimentary about another person, you're not looking hard
enough.
