COMMUNICATION HABITS THAT MUST BE BROKEN (Part 1)
This message may not be for you. There is a way to see if you should keep reading. Take the index and middle finger on your right hand and place them on your left wrist below the thumb. If you feel a rhythmic pulsation, then this message is for you. If not, then rest in peace, my friend.between the times that you need something, then it is very rude to get in touch with them at that time unless you are willing to go to them as any other customer would. If you are the type that doesn’t respond to their calls or e-mail communication and then want them to respond when you need something, then you seriously need to reevaluate your communication habits.
Seriously, by hanging onto these bad communication habits you can lose sales, relationships, opportunities, and more. Sometimes the consequence of bad communication habits are immediate, but other times it might take a while to realize the impact, and then it is too late.
1. NOT KEEPING IN CONTACT UNTIL YOU NEED SOMETHING
Can you imagine the life of a mechanic who only hears from “friends” when their car needs repaired and they want it done free or cheap? Can you imagine how it must feel to own a large company and only hear from certain friends when they are looking for a job? How would you feel if you only heard from friends that knew you could fix their current computer problem?
If you are not in regular personal, e-mail or phone communication with “friends” or “associates”
2. NOT FOLLOWING UP ON PROMISES OR RESULTS
If you tell someone that you are going to provide them with a resource or referral, then do it every single time. If someone has given you advice, a referral, or even prayed for you, then you should contact them and let them know how things turned out every time.
