subject: Increase Goodwill Towards Your Home Business Online Opportunity [print this page] According to Dale Carnegie in his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, the average person is actually far more interested in his/her own name than all other names.
It is therefore very important when trying to influence people that you remember their name, spell and pronounce it correctly. Getting any of these wrong puts you immediately at a disadvantage.
It is the one thing that each and every one of us owns and can be proud of. Having someone remember is the best compliment they can give us.
Down through the centuries people have gone to great lengths to have their names remembered. Some of the richest collections in libraries and museums throughout the world were donated by people wanting their names remembered.
In our fast paced world, most people do not remember the names of people they meet. It takes a little effort to remember names and they cannot be bothered.
When meet someone new, repeat their name in your head and associate mentally their name and face. This mental exercise helps immensely in remembering a name.
Do not as many do make the excuse that you are too busy. It only takes a little effort which pays a large dividend.
"Most people do not remember names, for the simple reason that they do not take the time and energy necessary to concentrate and repeat and fix names indelibly in their minds. They make excuses for themselves; they are too busy"
According to Dale Carnegie, Franklin D Roosevelt took time to remember the names of mechanics who delivered him a car. I do not think we can believe ourselves to be busier than him.
Remembering and correctly using someone's name is the simplest and easiest way of gaining goodwill and making people feel important.
About a week after my son started school, I watched as his class was being supervised on their way into school. The supervisor was not their teacher but the teacher of another class. However despite not being their teacher and only having ever seeing them when they were out at play, he greeted every single one of them by their name.
You should have seen the proud look on all of their faces. I am quite sure it made a great start to the day for each and everyone of them. And as a very proud mother I was very touched and appreciative. I will certainly remember it.
When dealing with others when we want to make money with a Home Business Online Opportunity we should ensure that in all our communications, people are addressed by their correctly spelt names. No matter how good your Internet Marketing Promotion you are using, it will fail if you do not keep this rule.
