7 Steps To Creating Lasting Business Relationships


By Edie Pereira Hulbert

A wonderful business relationship will take you through the thick and thin times of your business and will provide you the support you will need at all times. Here are some tips on how you can create a business relationship that will last.
  1. Prepare!!!

    Research and gather all the information you might need for this relationship. In this case, overpreparation is not a bad idea.
  2. Be Motivated. Enthusiasm and excitement about the prospect can create great inroads for you.
  3. Get their attention. Determine ahead of time why they want to do business with you.
  4. Find the similarities...create communication. We like those who are like us. Therefore, discover the commonalities and open up that line of communication.
  5. Cultivate their interest. Do some thinking about how they can benefit from your product or service.
  6. Solve Their issue. Being a problem-solver will be one of the great careers of the 21st century. How will your service enhance their business?
  7. Cultivate a true desire for a win-win outcome. Determine the value that you are providing and ensure that both parties come out ahead.

    BONUS TIPS
    • Say "we" five times for each time you say "I." Remember, there is power in numbers.
    • Provide positive feedback as much as possible. Write those thank-you notes, give out appreciation certificates, or whatever other ideas you might have to convey your positive feelings.
    • Create a future. Many businesses operate on referral business alone. Develop a referral team with the business.

Me

     I want to start off this is my blog and no one is making you sit here and read my thoughts and my current issues or opinions in life. So with knowing that, if you take things to heart and are not open mind of seeing from another point of view on things please close your browser and move on about your own business.       For those of you that personally know me will have to agree that I have a big heart and a lot of passion for the things that matter to me in life. I am strong willed when it comes to the things I care about in life .  I try to stay positive in my out look in life but I am going to be honest with you Its a challenge when you are surround by many negatives , this includes many things in my life from the television, family, friends and even myself.

Doing something that matters.

Tonight I heard this song (which is post in the last blog post before this one.) But it really made me think about the words and what this song really meant to me. I listen to the song a few times on how my life could relate to this, wanting to leave my mark on this earth before my time is up. Then I got excited thinking about it, because I have already started leaving my mark on this earth I do this every single day of my life, by helping others. Such a great feeling when someone comes and tell you how blessed they are for you helping them in a time of need, whether it was making an extra income, or helping them by turning their  homes in to safe and healthier ones, or just holding there hand. Not only that I have been blessed to adopt,and  to be able to give unconditional love and make a difference in their life.

Book Review. The Lucky One

Image
The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks      I read this book in about four days. Its my first book by Nicholas Sparks and it won't be my last book either. I give it a 7 out of 10 . Its about a young marine from Colorado that had been deployed over to the Iraq War. He gives details about the battles and losses he encounters there . He finds a picture of a girl and believes that picture brings him good-luck and is the reason he is still alive . Once he is discharge from the corps he ventures out to find out who this mystery woman is in the picture he had found . Very good read. I am hoping to be able to watch the movie and compare the two with each other. I was able to check it out for the kindle on overdrive with the Coffey County library.   You can also purchase through Barnes and Noble or Amazon . sidenote: watched the movie tonight and well it wasn't as good as the book. But we all know that's how it normally goes right!? Leave me a comment on your v
