What I have actually learnt this year is why it is so important to recharge the batteries. 1.      It allows you time to pause and think about what you did right and what you did wrong over the past year.2.     It allows you to process these things and work out a better way of doing things.3.     If you don’t do stop working and just keep your head down, don’t look up – don’t look around – you will just keep doing the same things whether they were working or not.  You don’t actually give yourself time to process what worked and what didn’t.So stop, breath and re-charge.Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

Why you should never ghost someone in a business environment:-Lack of Communication: Not responding to business emails and text messages can convey a lack of communication and interest in the ongoing professional relationship.Missed Opportunities: Ignoring messages may lead to missed opportunities, such as potential collaborations, partnerships, or deals that could benefit your business.Negative Impression: It creates a negative impression on the sender, suggesting that you don't value their time or input, which can damage your professional reputation.Delayed Progress: Failing to respond promptly can cause delays in projects, decision-making, and overall progress, hindering the efficiency of your business interactions.Breakdown of Trust: Consistent communication is key to building and maintaining trust with clients, colleagues, and partners. Ignoring messages erodes that trust.Professionalism and Etiquette: A fundamental aspect of professionalism is acknowledging and responding to messages promptly. It reflects your commitment to professionalism and business etiquette.Customer Service: Poor communication can frustrate customers, clients, or partners, leading to dissatisfaction and potentially causing them to seek alternatives.Misunderstandings: Lack of response can lead to misunderstandings, as the sender may assume you received and understood the message when you did not.Lost Networking Opportunities: Ignoring messages can lead to missed networking opportunities, limiting your ability to connect with industry peers and potential mentors.Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

Permanent record: Emails can be saved and stored indefinitely, creating a permanent record of your words that can be revisited or used against you in the future.Misinterpretation: Written communication lacks non-verbal cues, making it easier for recipients to misinterpret your tone or intentions, potentially leading to misunderstandings and conflicts.Forwarding and sharing: Emails can be easily forwarded or shared without your knowledge or consent, allowing the content to spread to unintended recipients and contexts.Lack of context: Emails often lack the context surrounding a conversation, making it difficult for others to understand the full picture, potentially leading to misrepresentation of your views or actions.Emotional responses: Sending an email in the heat of the moment can lead to emotional responses and impulsive writing, which may include regrettable or offensive content.Career implications: Emails containing unprofessional or inappropriate content can damage your reputation and career prospects, as they reflect your communication skills and judgment.Legal consequences: Certain content in emails, such as discriminatory remarks or confidential information, can have severe legal implications if it violates privacy laws or anti-discrimination regulations.Technology mishaps: Technical issues, like accidental "reply all" or selecting the wrong recipient, can result in unintended parties receiving sensitive or confidential information, leading to potential harm.Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

It's time to say goodbye to the days of hard selling! Trying to force someone to buy something just isn't the way to go anymore.In fact, it can do more harm than good. No one wants to feel like they're being pressured to make a purchase.Instead, it's important to let people make their own decisions. If they decide not to buy something, that's okay. Let them miss out! That way, when they come back to you the second time, they'll remember how you didn't pressure them into buying the first time around.But let's talk about why hard selling is a thing of the past. First of all, it's just not effective. People don't want to feel like they're being sold something.They want to make their own decisions based on their own needs and desires.Secondly, hard selling can damage your reputation. If people feel like they were pressured into buying something, they're not going to have a positive impression of you or your business.So, let's embrace a new way of doing business. Let's let people make their own decisions and be there for them when they're ready to make a purchase.Let the miss out and learn how to say 'I told you so, without actually saying it'. Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

On social media, it's easy to be swayed by the opinions of others. But when it comes to our own decisions and goals, we must strive to ignore this 'white noise' and focus on what is important to us.Rather than letting ourselves become overwhelmed by the opinions of others, we should focus on what we do best.  Don't worry about what other people think.  Do what you do best and get out of your own way.Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

We all experience interactions with people who are rude and hostile towards us from time to time. While it may seem like they do this simply because they don’t like us, the reality is that it often stems from something deeper. Most of the time, these people are trying to get a reaction out of you in order to make themselves feel better about their own circumstances. Whether it is due to personal issues or professional ones, desperate people will resort to desperate measures.Here's the takeaway.  You don't have to deal with everyone.If someone is treating you badly, constantly, walk away!If someone is a narcissist, walk away!If someone gets a kick out of pushing your buttons, walk away!Life is too short.  There are too many good  clients and people out there to waste time and energy on a Narcissist. #sellingwithsandra Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

Using manners and being humble can be incredibly valuable not only when selling, but in any situation. Being polite and humble helps foster strong relationships because it demonstrates respect for others, which leads to feelings of goodwill. On the other hand, failing to practice good manners or being arrogant can create animosity between people, ultimately making communication and collaboration difficult.  This is a business relationship killer.Studies have shown that people who practice politeness tend to be more successful because they are perceived as more reliable, trustworthy, and likable. Additionally, those with good manners have been found to be better liked by their peers while also receiving more help from them when needed. Lastly, using politeness and humility is beneficial in any situation because it conveys respect for others without implying superiority or dominance over them.When it comes to humility, Forbes says it best: "True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less." In other words, being humble isn't about putting yourself down or making yourself smaller; it's about having a realistic view of your own importance.Here are some of the best ways to be humble, according to Forbes:·      Acknowledge your successes, but don't dwell on them. Don't let your accomplishments go to your head; remember that they're not the only things that define you.·      Be open to criticism and feedback. It can be difficult to hear negative feedback about ourselves, but it's important to be open to it. It can help us improve and grow as people.·      Don't compare yourself to others. We all have our own unique talents and gifts, so there's no need to compare ourselves to others. Accepting ourselves for who we are is an important part of humility.·      Be grateful for what you have. Instead of always focusing on what we don't have, let's take some time to appreciate the good things in our lives. From our family and friends to our health and homes, there's so much to be grateful for.Stay Humble #sellingwithsandra #behumble #salesSupport the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!

Having a strong after sales service is essential for any business. It represents the true value of customer experience, as it goes beyond just making a sale – it builds relationships and trust with clients. After sales service should be an ongoing commitment to provide quality customer care, helping to ensure that customers are satisfied with their purchase and remain loyal to you as the salesperson in the long run.For businesses dealing with large ticket items such as cars or properties, after sales service can mean the difference between a good and bad buying experience for the customer.It’s not enough to simply complete a transaction and walk away; customers need assurance that they’ve made a sound investment and will receive ongoing support.Support the showFor the juicy dirt on the industry - subscribe now for the cost of a cup of coffee and get all the low down on the day to day!
