Tune into his show to hear how you can become a go-giver, and make sure to go back and listen to his previous episode #73 with us! 5 Golden Nuggets Shared: 1. A go-giver is someone who understands that shifting their focus from getting to giving (giving, in this context, meaning constantly and consistently providing value to others) is not only a pleasant way of doing business; it's the most financially profitable way, as well. 2. Begin by moving from an “I-focus” or “me-focus” to an “other-focus” looking for ways to bring immense value to that other person. 3. No one is forced to do business with anyone else. In this environment, the customer always has the last word because they are the ones to decide if you are doing business or not. 4. People skills can be taught and learned, but the single greatest people skill is a highly developed and authentic interest in the other person. 5. Take the principles you learn and apply them. The key there, you have to start and apply them. 3 Bold and Kick-Ass Quotes: 1. “It’s not about you, it’s about them.“ - Bob Burg 2. “If you want to serve the marketplace, you have to put the customer’s interests first.” - Bob Burg 3. “Always make it in the other person’s best interest.” - Bob Burg Click the hyperlink below to connect directly with Bob!
