Pose and Smile – You Are On The Apprentice
Be warned – this posting reveals who has been ‘fired’ from the forth episode and the rest of the post is only my observation and opinion based upon 60 minutes of edited TV, nothing more.

Buyers Tricks
Buyers are really nice people. That is a broad statement but I truely believe that buyers are nice people after work, but during office hours they can be... well... difficult. Sometimes they will trick you into getting a better deal, watch out for these tricks. If you are a buyer, do not read this article. :-)
Is everyone else getting wealthy off your efforts except you?
Are you the proverbial nice guy who refuses payment even though you went miles out of your way to help out? Have people told you, you are too nice for your own good? Think about the last time you knew you should be charging more, but instead, sold yourself for less. What were the consequences?

Holiday networking
Holiday networking is more laid back, less aggressive and more casual. You’re there having a nice time with other people who are also there to have a nice time… and if they happen to learn about a company relevant to them in the guise of friendly word-of-mouth conversation, all the better. The aim is much closer to friendly conversation than high-intensity deal closing.
I am me – (living by my own authority).
I am me. I am not you. I am comfortable (I think) with my beliefs, with my likes and dislikes, with my judgements and opinions; I try to be as honest as I can; I try to be truthful; I try to be kind and compassionate and generally try to behave towards other people as I would like them to behave towards me. In other words I like to think of myself as an ordinary kind of bloke trying to live by my understanding and interpretation of events and circumstances. In other words I am trying to live by my own authority.
Be Kind and Listen
It has been said that it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice. Another “oldie” is the fact that when you’re talking you’re not learning; it’s only when you listen that you learn.

Why a Sales Manager MUST Evoke "The Law of Reciprocity"
For our purposes, the Law of Reciprocity states: If you do something nice for someone, human nature dictates that the recipient will feel compelled to do something nice for you in return. It is in essence: "you reap what you sow". This is an irrefutable law and one that you should teach your salespeople. The question of will someone actually act upon it at a given time depends on who asks.

Can Simply Being Nice Save You Money?
It occurred to me (at the tax office of all places) that simply being nice to others really does save us money. This morning while paying taxes, I was pleasant and took the time to be nice and two ladies really did everything in their power to save me some money. As I then drove to my office, I pondered the application of "simply being nice" to a more general business application. Can we as leaders role model being nice and teach our employees to be the same way? Can being nice impact our bottom line? Do we sometimes neglect the very people that mean success or failure in the game of business?

What's under your sales-bonnet ( Part 3)
I stopped talking and scanned their body langue for a response. Nothing, they all seemed shell-shocked that a young bloke ten-years their junior would address them in such a blunt and cocky manner. I continued. "I tell you what, I'm going to step into the tea room for ten minutes, and let you guys have a frank chat. After this discussion, if you all want to roll over that's ok, better men have failed and sometimes quitting is a good strategy if you're not passionate or energetic enough to see it through.
Be nice on Facebook or Go Play somewhere else
With so many users and so many applications and content that was provided I thought this was a topic to bring up. Being nice on Facebook and being part of a great experience is all of our responsibilities so here are a few things I feel are being nice.

Listen and Learn
Listening isn't just a nice to have soft skill. With organizations and individuals so fervently focused on the bottom line, actively listening has never been as important as it is now. A focus on listening can lead to more effective teamwork, higher productivity, fewer conflicts and errors, enhanced innovation and problem-solving, improved recruiting and retention, superior customer relations and more. As authors on leadership development have noted through the years, listening is not just a nice thing to do, it’s essential!
