Casual Articles - Lesson 61 - When Does Aggressiveness Turn Into Annoyance?
Jean de la Bruyere said, “The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you.”Every conversation, interaction and encounter has some kind of emotional effect on both parties:How you feel about yourself How you feel about others How others feel about you How others feel about themselvesIn order to make an UNFORGETTABLE! first impression (not just a good first
What I want to discuss in this article is the basic idea of honesty. The internet is a wonderful place to do business, but with the continuous flood of spyware, malware, and spam, it can be a horrible and very frustrating place for the average user. I am amazed, but not surprised, by the unethical practice of businesses using popups and spam to sale a product. It isn’t surprising because the fact is that those business practices work. Any of us that have worked in this field for awhile know that traffic is king.My experience has been one of ho
When attending conferences, conventions, or private events, it’s guaranteed that you will talk with many people, especially those sitting at your table. Perhaps you may talk with someone you haven’t met before. Some time ago, while in attendance at an event, I was introduced to an insurance/financial consultant working for a major Fortune 500 company. He was very personable and the conversation was pleasant throughout the evening.
We exchanged business cards at the end of the night and parted ways. The next week I received a telephone call from the consultant requesting that I hire his firm to manage my financial portfolio. After I explained to him that I was already taken care of in that area I figured the discussion was over. Several weeks later he called again, and once again, he offered to have his company manage my portfolio. Again I expressed that I was happy with the company who was already managing my portfolio.
For several months the consultant called me attempting to lure my business to his company after I had explicitly said I would pass on the offer. After repeatedly turning him down, the consultant recommended my name to his colleague, who wanted to borrow my mailing list for his company’s marketing purposes. I blatantly refused to lend my mailing
Highly effective marketing is accomplished when your marketing materials and marketing strategy work together to reliably move your prospects through your sales process.Have you ever caught a whiff of a tantalizing aroma wafting through the air as you walked down the street? With your senses suddenly alerted to something tasty nearby you notice the bakery on the corner. As you draw closer you see the storekeeper handing out free samples of the cake you smell. You happily try the sample and before you know it your standing on line waiting to buy

It is not easy to stay abreast of all that is possible using interactive marketing. Indeed there is a delicate balance between using a ‘state-of-the-art’ or ‘cutting-edge’ technology and actually having the customer embrace it. Even if they do adopt the idea, there are no guarantees that a futuristic initiative will be profitable.Consider some of the pioneers of mobile phone marketing. They were creating wonderful solutions as much as five years ago, but the timing was not right. They were ahead of their time, ahead of the trend wave. Whilst they

Ebay is a phenomenon and one you love or hate. It has become the rage of our generation, drawing in people from every walk of life. People from every honesty level as well. Caution is the word of the day when using Ebay. There are things to watch out for that can cost you money.Buying on Ebay: Remember, you are looking at a picture. It might be a stock photo of the item you seek, but it might not be a picture of the item you want. Look it over carefully and ask the seller if they have other pictures of the item.Realize that a bargai

If you own a web-based business, you're probably aware of the need for things like link exchanges, lead-purchasing, SEO copy, banner ads and all of the "traditional" ways to get exposure on the World Wide Web.But did you know that article marketing is by far the best way to build your brand while at the same time increasing your exposure?Web articles. They're hot. Why? Because people have realized that when you submit an article for distribution on the web, you're dangling your URL in front of an endless stream of prospects, all of w
It was during a conversation with the second gentleman that I became even more annoyed. He said, "You should allow [the consultant] to manage your financial portfolio."
I quickly analyzed the situation. The consultant definitely asked this other guy to say something to me about managing my portfolio. It was at this point that I terminated all communication with the both of them. But Horace Jones, President and CEO of ARTI, Inc. said it best “Tolerance levels vary with different people, but they depend on the type of business that is being represented and how it is being represented. If a declaration has been made and the person still becomes a problem, let them know.”
Vincent Alvarez, IT Technical Manager said, “Aggressiveness is usually a tool employed to obtain a desired decision while arguing a point. Aggressiveness turns
